The collection contains correspondence and other material pertaining to Hiram F. Glazier during the Civil War. Most of the correspondence is between Glazier and his family and friends, and cover the day to day life of a soldier and the attitudes of the Confederate soldiers and their families. Also included are "The Southern Banner," which could be called the Confederate national poem, and the response sent to Glazier's widow by T. Calvert of the Confederate Treasury Department. All of the documents in this collection are copies of the originals.
