a very unique perspective of the reality of the war
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have never read anything of the Civil War that so delineates the war from the perspective of the "man in the ranks...the Private." The author has allowed time to temper his writings so that what he writes of gives a real sense of honesty...it is what happened, not from the pen of the "generals'" but of one who carried the fight personally to the foe as well as living the reality of the war day to day...a rare find, indeed!
Interesting first hand account of the Civil War.

This is a good book and an interesting first person story from another time and place. However my copy abruptly ends while he is taking a prisoner down south. He stops at a farm house for the night and then the book just ends. Did the author never complete the book or did I just get a bad copy? Despite this I would still highly recommend reading this book.
Engrossing . A great perspective of the common soldier.

The best autobiography of a Confederate Civil War Soldier I have read. I hope it is reprinted, great Christmas gifts. A must have!
A wonderful book that puts you next to the soldiers marching
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is a wonderful, slow, compelling read that places you beside the rebel soldiers as they march from day to day, from battle to battle. We are marching to Gettysburg now, where a battle was not supposed to be fought. Accidents of war. If anyone out there has more info on Alexander Hunter, I would appreciate anything you can tell me by e-mail. Thanks very much. Steve
