About This Book

A first-person regimental memoir recounts a hurried militia mobilization to repel an invading force, describing chaotic railroad transport, arrivals at a state capital, and crowded encampments. It portrays daily camp routines, persistent rain and inadequate shelter, relations with local civilians and mixed hospitality, and the monotony punctuated by sudden alarms. The account details laborious construction of rifle pits and defensive works, the flow of refugees and scouts that signal enemy proximity, and the blend of discomfort, camaraderie, and mounting tension that characterizes a brief but intense campaign.
