Some foxing and a little staining to a few of the letters one repaired with tape the envelopes worn and variously soiled and stained; some postage stamps still affixed. Adam Bright enlisted in the 9th Pennsylvania Infantry in early 1861 and served with his unit in the various campaigns of the Army of the Potomac until the unit was mustered out of service in April 1864; he returned to civilian life in western Pennsylvania. His brother Michael enlisted in the 77th Pennsylvania regiment later in 1861 and served with that unit in the various campaigns of the Army of the Cumberland until killed in action on the first day at Chickamauga in September 1863._"The accounts of camp living the primitive practices of the army the methods of handling the distribution of rations the rumors of the immediate end of the war always erroneous and probably the result of wishful thinking on the part of the soldiers and the enlisted men's evaluations of the generals are all very interesting. But the most fascinating picture that emerges is that of two ordinary young men performing a duty that patriotism required of them in spite of the perils of battlefield and camp life while fighting the silent and lonely battle of homesickness which has always been the bane of soldiers" from Harry R.

Watercolor on card first drawing signed lower right. 1 vols. 10 x 7-1/2 inches images. "Buck Adam 1758-1833 portrait painter elder son of Jonathan Buck a silversmith of Castle Street Cork was born there in 1759. With a younger brother Frederick he studied art from an early age and acquired some repute in youth in his native city as a painter of miniature portraits in water-colour. Coming to London in 1795 he settled at 174 Piccadilly and soon gained popularity. He not only continued to paint miniature portraits in water-colour but produced many portraits in oil and crayon of larger size. Between 1795 and 1833 the year of his death he exhibited at the academy as many as 171 pictures. He also exhibited ten other works at the British Institution and at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street. But the pictures that he exhibited represent a small proportion of his labours. Numerous pictures by him were reproduced in coloured engravings mostly in stipple and had a wide circulation. Of extant coloured engravings after his pictures the originals of as many as forty or fifty are not known to have been exhibited. Among his sitters were the Earl of Cavan the Duke of York Sir Francis Burdett Major Cartwright John Cam Hobhouse and John Burke author of the Peerage' and his family. His portraits were carefully finished although they were stiff in treatment and design.<br/>Buck was at the same time busily employed as a teacher of portrait painting and in 1811 he brought out a volume entitled Paintings on Greek Vases' which contained a hundred designs not only drawn but also engraved by himself. This work which was planned to continue a similar compilation by Sir William Hamilton is now extremely scarce.<br/>In 1807 he moved from Piccadilly to Frith Street Soho and after several changes of residence died at 15 Upper Seymour Street West in 1833. Buck was married and left two sons Alfred and Sidney; the latter followed his father's profession.<br/>A miniature portrait of Buck by himself dated 1804 is in the Sheepshanks gallery of the Victoria and Albert Museum London.
