About This Book
A veteran member of a volunteer infantry company delivers a compact, chronological record combining personal reminiscence, action reports, and formal rosters. The narrative traces recruitment and local origins, marches, camp life, picket duty, engagements and their casualties, and the medical and moral hardships endured, while naming officers and enlisted men and giving muster-type details. Commentary ranges from affectionate camaraderie to candid criticism of leadership, and memorial passages honor the fallen. The compilation is presented as a commemorative, practical account intended to preserve the experiences and service of the company for its participants and their families.
