Synopsis

One of the most delightful, amusing, exciting, and yet poignant memoirs of the American Civil War. Young Jack Adams fought with the 19th Massachusetts at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor.He received the nation's highest award, the Medal of Honor, for actions at the murderous charge on Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg. He was severely wounded on the second day at Gettysburg and yet eventually returned to join his men on Grant's Overland Campaign.Captured at Cold Harbor, he spent many miserable months in Confederate prison camps before finally being exchanged in March of 1865.Jack Adams saw too much of death and suffering, but he held on to his devotion to his comrades and his will to survive. Escaping once from captivity, he detailed the extensive aid he received from African-Americans at their own peril.This is one of the very best accounts of service in the Civil War that you'll read.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.Be sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.
