Civil War Valentines
Several years before the outbreak of the American Civil War, Esther Howland of Worchester, Massachusetts began selling Valentine greeting cards in her father’s book and stationery store. Already an annual event in England, by 1849 it was reported in Graham’s American Monthly that:
Saint Valentines’ Day is becoming, nay, it has become a national holiday.
During the Civil War era, Valentine’s Day cards were very popular greetings exchanged between soldiers and their worried wives and sweethearts. By that time there were many companies manufacturing cards designed just for lonely sweethearts parted by the war. Locks of hair were commonly included with the card; a keepsake to be treasured by the separated couples.
