Book excerpt: "Let me have strength to meet my fate, wherever it may be and whenever it may overtake me. That is all I can ask at present. I have no particular liking for getting killed, even when it is necessary, and much less when it is not." Charles Johnson was born in Sweden but raised in the United States from the age of ten. Largely self-educated, he nevertheless is one of the most articulate and thoughtful of the private soldiers who wrote of their experience in the American Civil War. With the Hawkins Zouaves, he fought at the amphibious attack, the Battle of Roanoke Island, at South Mountain, Acquia Creek, and more. His description of his first time in battle is vivid, heartfelt, and honest. He seems never to have become inured to the sight of mangled comrades and writes with great feeling. His diary is a pleasure to read. When his contract was up, he mustered out before the war was finished. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Book Synopsis My Rebellion: The War of 1861-5 by : W.H. Morgan
Download or read book My Rebellion: The War of 1861-5 written by W.H. Morgan. This book was released on . Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the perspective of almost half a century, W.H. Morgan was still an unreconstructed rebel when he wrote these memoirs. While there is little new to be learned from his "Lost Cause" arguments, his experiences of camp, battle, and famous people of the war do, nevertheless, provide a fascinating look into Confederate life in the American Civil War. Though not a member of the famous Morgan family of John Hunt Morgan (whom he never mentions in his memoir), W.H. of the 11th Virginia was on the front lines and eventually a prisoner of the hated Yankees. He provides a report of conditions prior to his release. Like many old soldiers, he also has tales of the humorous side of soldiering. In addition, he provides a view of important battles in which he was engaged from the Confederate side. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
