James Edward Glazier's Civil War experience is reflected in his letters to his parents, brother Charles, and friend Annie G. Monroe. He details his training in Annapolis, Maryland, Burnside's Expedition to the Carolinas, and his work in the hospital. A letter from his brother Ezra deals with religious aspects of the Civil War. In his diaries after the Civil War, Glazier writes about farming on the Pacific Coast from 1868 to 1882, his work, expenses, family news, social life, including Fourth of July celebrations, tent revivals, and the reunion of the 23rd Massachusetts Regiment in 1888.
