About This Book
A soldier's journal by an Ohio artilleryman chronicles recruitment and training, daily camp life, long marches and logistical hardships, reconnaissance and expeditions, court-martial proceedings and skirmishes, and participation in larger engagements such as Wild Cat, Mill Springs, Perryville, Stone River, and Chickamauga. Entries combine practical detail about guns, wagons, and horses with travel impressions, descriptions of local terrain and towns, and observations on leadership, discipline, and unit camaraderie, closing with an appendix of supplementary notes and reflections on campaign experiences.
