Synopsis

Front-line memories from a ten-year Army life A detailed memoir that puts you in the shoes of a soldier who rises from private to corporal, navigating guard duties, patrols, and daily discipline along the way. This edition shares the author’s observations, humor, and hard-won lessons from service and civilian life afterward.

This excerpt focuses on the practical realities of military life in the field and in garrison. It describes guard duties in Georgetown and Washington, patrols that enforce passes, and the mix of routine and danger that shaped the author’s experience. It also touches on class, leadership, camaraderie, and the sometimes tough decisions soldiers faced.

• Concrete scenes of guard duty, patrols, and arrests in 19th-century Washington, with a focus on daily routines.


• Personal reflections on leadership, discipline, and the long arc from soldier to civilian life.


• Observations about pay, living conditions, and the social dynamics of a growing American army.


• Hints of how military service shaped the author’s later career and outlook.

Ideal for readers of military memoirs and historical accounts of life in the U.S. Army during and after the Civil War era, who want a grounded, first‑hand perspective without overly technical detail.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
