John Vanetton Patterson papers

 Collection
Identifier: MS-1190

Collection Organization

The collection of letters written by Lieut. John V. Patterson consists of forty-two original letters from J. V. Patterson to his wife Victoria, unless otherwise indicated. The letters span the period of his service with Co.K and Co.C of the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry between 1861 and early 1865 and include both active duty letters and some written while he was a prisoner of the Confederates. Letters listed in italics are the prison letters. Transcripts of the letters are accessible in the copy of As Near Hell As I Ever Expect to Be, which collection donor Paul Tremewan compiled, annotated, and edited.

The letters contain a wealth of information on the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry and its men, with frequent references to men in Company K and C. There are also oblique references to information that Victoria wrote to him about the children, his family, and local events. As a representation of events and activities on both the home-front and in the field the letters are a resource for the big picture of the war and also the personal aspects.

The letters are greatly enhanced by the research files compiled by donor Paul Tremewan. The files consist of copies of a variety of background sources related to the individuals who served in Co.K and Co.C of the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Some of the data may include the soldiers’ service and burial records; pension, veterans, and survivors records; census records [mostly from U.S. Census]; genealogical records; and Paul Tremewan’s handwritten data collection forms. The various files are arranged in separate groups, alphabetically by the individuals in Co.K and Co.C, other files on individuals mentioned in the correspondence, and two pension files for Sidney Patterson (J.V. Patterson’s brother) and Aaron Thompson (J.V. Patterson’s father-in-law), both of whom served in Company K as privates under John V. Patterson’s command.

Included with the collection is an early draft of As Near Hell As I Ever Expect to Be, the later published version, and a copy of the 1893 regimental history of the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry written by Silas. S. Canfield.
