The
Websters: Letters of an American Army Family in Peace and War, 1836-1853
by Frances Marvin Smith Webster, Van R. Baker (Editor)
Book Description: When Lucien Webster, West Point graduate and
artilleryman, met Frances Smith, granddaughter of a Connecticut Revolutionary
War hero, in Florida, neither could anticipate how exciting and stressful
their lives would be over the next 17 years.
The couple was barely married before being separated by orders that
sent Lucien Ãrst to south Florida, where he established a post
on the site of present-day Miami, and then to North Carolina, where he
participated in the armyâ€s sad duty of driving the Cherokee
Indians onto their â€trail of tears.†When finally
reunited, the newlyweds were posted to duty in Maine for seven years and
then Pensacola Bay for a few months while Lucienâ€s unit prepared
for the imminent war with Mexico. For the next two years Frances and Lucienâ€s
letters were filled with the details of their lives.
The Websters has the rare distinction of containing both sides of a
correspondence between an â€Old Army†officer
and his socially prominent wife, one that reflects both their private lives
and many of the public events of the times and that interweaves their responses
to one anotherâ€s experiences.
