Synopsis

A vivid, firsthand Civil War memoir that follows a young soldier from the battlefront to the home front. This account, drawn from the author’s own experiences, offers a clear, human view of campaigns, camp life, and the enduring memory of a tough, revolutionary era. Though rooted in specific battles, the narrative centers on courage, endurance, and the transforming power of memory in the aftermath of war. The book presents not only relentless fighting but also the everyday moments—from field hospitals to long homecomings—that shaped a generation.

Through these pages you’ll move with a regiment that endured hardship, kept moving, and looked toward peace. You’ll see the wide sweep of strategy and the intimate realities of marching, camping, and tending the wounded. The narrative also explores the people who supported soldiers—the Sanitary and Christian Commissions, army chaplains, and volunteers who bridged front lines and home fronts. It is a portrait of war as told by a participant, not a historian.

• Vivid frontline scenes, campaigns, and the rhythm of army life across years of conflict.


• Behind-the-scenes looks at field hospitals, ambulances, and the care of the wounded.


• The human network of support, including the Sanitary and Christian Commissions and the army chaplains.


• The emotional arc of return, memory, and reconciliation during the homecoming and grand reviews.

Ideal for readers of Civil War history, memoirs, and personal accounts of wartime experiences.

A propos du livre

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.
