## Resource

Hidden for decades in storage, a trove of Civil War letters from brothers Samuel and Steven Pingree—later revealed by reporter Natalie Borrok—offers a raw, personal glimpse into wartime life, complete with troop maps and harrowing details. Samuel, who earned the Medal of Honor and later became Vermont’s 42nd governor, is immortalized in these intimate missives. Now preserved at the Vermont Historical Society, the letters bridge past and present, reminding us how history often waits in plain sight to be rediscovered.
