ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The TSVP Radio Theater Podcast presents Soldier, Come Home!,  a Civil War play for voices that brings to life the historical letters (1859 - 1865) of Frank W. Wicks' great-grandparents, Philip and Mary Pringle, as well as other members from his Western Pennsylvania family.

The long-held family letters, discovered in a shoe box in the attic of the Wicks family home, give us a deeply personal and intimate look into the life of one American family.  From the home front farm to the battlefields of Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Appomattox, this deeply moving play for voices reveals the hardships so many families endured during America's most costly war.
