About This Book

A collection of personal wartime reminiscences and essays that traces enlistment, the makeup and character of the fighting force, homefront attitudes, economic strains, notable commanders and colorful personalities, and bureaucratic frustrations, culminating in the conflict's end and its aftermath. The pieces blend anecdote and character sketch with reflective commentary on honor, loss, and social customs, and conclude with an extended essay situating those memories within the region's earlier social and political order.

DEDICATION.


I wish to dedicate this book to my brother, Edward Eggleston; and even if there were no motives of affection impelling me thereto, I should still feel bound to inscribe his name upon this page, as an act of justice, in order that those critics who confounded me with him, when I put forth a little novel a year ago, may have no chance to hold him responsible for my political as they did for my literary sins.
