Publisher's Synopsis

In conclusion we may say that the chief object of the editor has been to chronicle the minor incidents of the great conflict. Detailed histories and official records must of necessity be resorted to for the graver and weightier matters, for criticism or censure of the more prominent actors in the gory drama; but this volume tells of the experience of private soldiers, innumerable incidents of ad venture and daring, items of personal endurance and suffering, details of peril by flood and field - the rollicking, luxuriant humor of the camp cropping out with refreshing frequency.
