Civil War Letter Archive of Dr. Charles Sackrider
Letter archive of Dr. Charles H. Sackrider (1832-1881), Mason, Ingham County, Michigan, including 35 war-dated letters, most from Dr. Sackrider to his wife, from his service as an acting assistant surgeon in the Union Army, including many from service in the Chattanooga Campaign in late 1863 and elsewhere in Nashville in 1864. Includes several letters with battle content and musings on race relations. Charles Sackrider may have been born in Ontario, Canada ca 1832 or 1833. It appears that he attended the University of Michigan. The History of Ingham and Eaton Counties, Michigan (Durant, Samuel: 1881) describes him as a "popular and successful physician in Mason." They go on to note that in 1855 he began to practice dentistry along with his medical practice, this "rais[ing] it to the dignity of a profession." He applied for membership in the Dental Society of Michigan in 1864 and was admitted. This dual practice likely made him even more valuable to the Union Army during the war.
