Feb. the 11th, 1862 Hallifax County, Hallifax Court, NC Dear friends and relations I seat myself this evening after dark to drop you a few lines to inform you of my present situation. I am well at this time and I hope these lines will come to hand and fine you all in the same condition. I wrote a letter last night about this time to send to you, but our Regiment was tearing up to move and I had to leave about midnight and I decided to right a few lines more tonight and send them both together. We struck tents last night about 10 o'clock. We got our tents and baggage hauled out to the cars about midnight. We got in the cars and stayed till daylight this morning at Goldsboro. We started about day for Roanoke River. We got to this town about two hours this evening. We have put up our tents for tonight. I saw a good deal coming down from Goldsboro to this place, which is about 80 miles distant. We passed through the heart of the turpentine section and I saw the most swamps I ever saw be fore in my life. Swamps some times on both sides of the railroad for a mile or more and black gums and sweet gums as thick as you ever saw. Cane and the whole earth covered with water as far as your eyes could see appearing to be about knee deep and the cane as thick as it could stand and as high as your head. In a few words and as I have not time to dwell upon this matter I will just say that the Eastern portion of NC is a powerful scenery to a mountain boy. Roanoke River runs within half a mile of this town. It is very large, about a quarter of a mile wide and the steam boats run on it. Busting
Object
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

In this letter of February 11, 1862, G. J. Huntley writes to his friends and relatives to tell of his trip from Goldsborough to Halifax Court, NC. He mentions that the Yankies have taken Elizabeth City, Plymouth and Roanoke Island and that they will be meeting them in a few days. This letter is one of a series of 46 that Huntley wrote home while serving in the 34th Regiment of N. C. Volunteers during the Civil War.
