A propos de cet article

Paperback. Lyman Gibson Bennett (18321904) had a curious mind and a keen sense of humor. He had an engineers mentality and a poets grasp of language, except for spelling. As a Union soldier, Bennett saw extensive service in the Trans-Mississippi Theater. A writer of considerable energy and intelligence, Bennetts wartime diaries recount his diverse and wide-ranging military record, stretching geographically from the prairies of Illinois to the Rocky Mountains, while a postwar account details, among other things, his labors to recruit Mountain Feds in the Ozarks. This volume provides the perspective of an individual who was both a topographical engineerwith extensive experience that spanned the country from Arkansas to the Overland Trailand a common soldier. As a member of the Thirty-Sixth Illinois Infantry, Bennett provided one of the most detailed contemporary accounts of the pivotal Battle of Pea Ridge, March 78, 1862. By December 1863, Bennett was promoted to first lieutenant in the newly formed Fourth Arkansas Cavalry (US) and wrote an invaluable first-person account of guerrilla fighting in the Ozark mountains. Readers will delight in Bennetts witty descriptions of the ankles (and even higher!) of ladies as they gathered their skirts to trek through the mud; his sometimes-cutting words about his fellow hospital patients; and his wry comments on that exclusively southern institution, the chigger. New Fields of Adventure will prove useful to scholars of the Ozarks, landscape studies, and the Civil War in the West. Lyman Gibson Bennett (18321904) had a curious mind and a keen sense of humor. A writer of considerable energy and intelligence, Bennetts wartime diaries recount his diverse and wide-ranging military record, while a postwar account details, among other things, his labors to recruit Mountain Feds in the Ozarks.
