A friend who is an historian obtained a soldier's letter describing the heroic death of a Civil War officer we now know to be Captain Jonathan S. Slaymaker (2nd Iowa Inf., Co. C) during the battle of Fort Donelson, TN 2/15/62. He is not a genealogist, but thinking family might be interested, wants to share the contents of the letter with Slaymaker's descendents. Thus, we are seeking information about known family for this person. If you can help, please contact me at: [email protected] Thank you, John Johnston
