Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sparks From the Camp Fire, or Tales of the Old Veterans: Thrilling Stories of Heroic Deeds, Brave Encounters, Desperate Battles, Bold Achievements, Reckless Daring, Lofty Patriotism, Terrible Suffering and Wondrous Fortitude, as Re-Told Today Around the Modern Camp Fire
In conclusion we may say that the chief object of the editor has been to chronicle the minor incidents of the great con?ict. 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 ?ood and field - the rollicking, luxuriant humor of the camp cropping out with refreshing frequency.
