"Ms. Roberson brings to life Eli Landers and his family in this truly outstanding book." -Civil War Courier
"I expect to be a man of honor to our country at the risk to my life." -Pvt. Eli Pinson Landers, letter dated September 24, 1863, camp near Chattanooga, TN
When her neighbor handed her a stack of yellowed letters that had been rescued from an Atlanta, Georgia, trash pile, author Elizabeth Whitley Roberson had no idea she was about to embark on a fact-finding mission through six states, from Civil War battlegrounds in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia to Gwinnett County in North Georgia. The author of these letters was a young man named Eli Pinson Landers, a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. Weep Not For Me, Dear Mother is a collection of the letters this brave young man diligently wrote to his mother, Susan Landers, back in their home of Yellow River, Georgia. The book traces his life in battles at Gettysburg, Manassas, and Chickamauga, among others.
