 | | Both Smith brothers were badly wounded June remaining hospitalized for several weeks before returning to duty with the 22nd, which participated in the Atlanta Campaign and thereafter in reserve in Georgia and Tennessee. |
 | | The Smith Brothers collection is a slender, but significant one, documenting the combined Civil War service of two brothers from Marion, Mich. June's five letters are less descriptive, and somewhat less interesting than the seven of his brother, Gus (one letter was written jointly), but both have something to say. |
 | | Perhaps the two most interesting are an undated letter from Gus, probably written in the fall, 1862, describing his tent and living conditions in Kentucky, and his letter from May, 1863, crowing over his promotion to captain. |
