About This Book

A private soldier's wartime memoir recounts marches, camp routine, and the chaos of battle as experienced on campaign in the Eastern theater, vividly describing skirmishes, mass engagements, and smoke-filled woods. It records duties in camp and on the line, the care of the wounded and amputations, personal loss and capture, and the close bonds among comrades. Interwoven reflections consider military traditions and the transmission of memory to later generations while detailing the practical hardships, small mercies, and moral challenges that shaped daily life in the army.
