Daniel Butterfield Pease was a Union soldier with Company G of the 12th Maine Infantry Regiment. In 1864 to 1866, he wrote from Camp Coburn, Maine; Galloups Island, Massachusetts; and Augusta, Savannah, and Thomasville, Georgia. He had two brothers who were not in the service. He seems to have remained in Georgia for a period during Reconstruction.
