Born in Winslow Township, Pennsylvania in 1843, Tilton C. Reynolds was a member of the 105th Regiment Pennsylvania at the tender age of 17 and served admirably throughout the Civil War for four years. This particular online collection (which includes 164 items) offers a look into "the lives of a Union soldier and members of his family during the Civil War," and includes letters that deal with the feelings of his family, his capture by Confederate troops, and various opinions on slavery and the election of 1864. The website includes a timeline that details the history of the 105th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers and a detailed profile of the entire Reynolds family. As with previous American Memory collections, the contents of this collection can be searched by keyword, document title, subject, and name.
