Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his enlistment in 1861 to mustering out at the end of the American Civil War, Martin Haynes kept up a voluminous correspondence with the girl he'd left behind him: Cornelia Lane. Throughout the bloody fighting at Gettysburg, Malvern Hill, and other famous battles, it is remarkable how little it seems Haynes withheld from the woman who became his wife. A very popular song title during the Civil War, every soldier knew "The Girl I Left Behind Me" and had someone about who they could sing it. In excruciating detail, Haynes relates the freezing cold, the killing heat, the torn bodies, deaths of friends, and the victories won by his New Hampshire regiment boys. After the war, Haynes was editor and publisher of the "Lake Village Times" and a United States Representative for the state of New Hampshire. By the time he wrote this book in 1916, he had been married to Cornelia for more than fifty years. Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Minor War History Compiled From a Soldier Boy's Letters to the Girl I Left Behind Me, 1861-1864 F you could look in on this scene you would rate it as about as I good a comedy as we ever took in at Bidwell and Marston's. I am writing on a rough board table, and right opposite me the fellow who has set up as company barber is skinning a poor victim alive. I don't think he is much Of a barber, and from the spasmodic and at times profane remarks Of the patriot he is practicing on, I gather that I am not alone in that Opinion.

Book Synopsis From a Soldier's Journal: 1861-64 (Expanded, Annotated) by : Albert O. Marshall

Download or read book From a Soldier's Journal: 1861-64 (Expanded, Annotated) written by Albert O. Marshall. This book was released on 2016-11-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all of the dusty volumes of Civil War memoirs that no one reads anymore, once in a while we come across one such as this. Written by a man with literary aspirations from a regiment of like-minded soldiers, Albert Marshall’s use of the pen produced more eloquence than did that of many of his contemporaries. He left one of the most compelling accounts of the siege of Vicksburg from a private soldier's point of view. He also wrote of service in Texas, which is rare among Civil War memoirs. Eloquent, funny, poignant, and immensely satisfying, Marshall's memoir from his journal is one of the best of the genre. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.
