Horace Wright Correspondence - 1st Maine Regiment, 1st Maine Cavalry

In April 1861, Horace Wright enlisted in the 1st Maine Infantry Regiment, and left his wife Maryanne and their home in Auburn. Assigned with his regiment to provide part of the defense for the city of Washington, Wright was confident that the Confederacy would soon fall. The aftermath of Manassas, or the First Battle of Bull Run, was not what Wright envisioned, with hundreds of casualties on both sides. He wrote, “…God deliver me from ever seeing another such a sight as I have seen for the week past but such is the effects of war.” Wright re-enlisted in January 1864 in the 1st Maine Cavalry Regiment and was discharged for illness, dying shortly after on August 18, 1864.
