A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These recollections of events that occurred in Virginia during the great and bloody struggle between the States, in which the writer shared in common with his Company, are collated principally from letters written to a friend at home while the war was progressing. I have thought it best that the form of the letters be retained, only adding here and there such notes and remarks as appeared to be necessary to make of them one connected story. Having been written as the events were transpiring, they serve admirably as the framework of the narrative, and present a true reflex and picture of the state of affairs as seen by a private soldier during the bitter contest in Virginia leading up from Big Bethel to the abandonment of Richmond. The book is not meant for general circulation, but only for the boys in gray, my immediate companions in arms, who shared in the events herein related; and for their friends and kindred, who will wish to read the story, and know how those boys stood the test of battle, and endured the ordeal of the daily trials and sufferings to which they were subjected through four long, weary, tragicful years.
