We’ve come to the end of Season 2! We’re wrapping up with a little bit more about John’s life in service and what he did after the war.
To the Letter is a podcast brought to you in collaboration with University Libraries and the eLearning and Emerging Technologies Department’s Digital Studio at GVSU. On this podcast, we bring correspondence from GVSU’s Special Collections alive. In each episode you will hear (in their own words!) letters written by the people who lived through history and the stories behind them. John Bennitt is voiced by Matt Ruen, Scholarly Communications Outreach Coordinator at University Libraries.
The letter featured in Episode 13 is available below:
Letter from John Bennitt to his wife Lottie, June 13, 1865
