About This Book

The narrative collects episodic memoirs by a survivor of a patriotic campaign, combining vivid battlefield scenes, accounts of fallen comrades, imprisonment and later military engagements, and personal reflections on sacrifice and national aspiration. Short anecdotes and descriptive vignettes recreate marches, skirmishes, hospitals, and the terrain where fighting occurred. Interspersed are portraits of morale, political tensions, and the author's memories of comradeship, courage and regret. Illustrations accompany the text, and expanded editions add biographical notes and contextual commentary on the campaign's meaning for those who took part.
