by Julia Sellers Irvine

The lost art of letter writing comes alive in a
soldier's letters from the front, in Letters
from Korea, a historical bit of Americana from
the year 1953, when the United States was
fighting in the Korean War. These letters were
written to the author's mother, Elsie Jones
Irvine, while her father, James Preston Irvine,
was stationed in Korea during the war. They are
not only love letters, but are a chronicle of
the time, providing an intriguing slice of
history of what was happening during that era
in both countries. Julia Irvine came across the
letters in an old footlocker in 2005, fifty-two
years after they were written. Retired teacher
Julia Irvine grew up an Army brat. She now
lives in Columbus, Georgia. This is her first
book, which was inspired by "finding the
letters my father wrote to my mother."
