Publisher's Synopsis
From the 1911 edition: The pages which follow contain the recollections of a private soldier of the 47th Alabama Infantry Regiment, one of gallant and fighting regiments of the Army of Northern Virginia. While not of an unusual character, they will nevertheless add something to the history of the tragic years of the War of Secession. This pamphlet is largely a reprint of another issue in 1909 and 1910 in two editions, namely, "A Sketch of the 47th Alabama Regiment, Volunteers, C. S. A." However, it is more than a mere revision, containing several new incidents, with considerable rearrangement. We have added a roster for the Alabama 47th Infantry along with an index and bibliography.
