Synopsis

This book chronicles the military tenure of the author from 1843 to the breakout of the Mexican War. Serving in the 2nd infantry regiment, the author details the character of old army life, discusses the personal and professional qualities of his fellow officers, and describes the duties, challenges, and rewards of service. The author's experiences, set against the backdrop of the recently concluded War of 1812 and the US-Mexico conflict, provide a unique lens through which to examine the life of a mid-19th-century soldier. In sharing these experiences, the author illustrates the courage, camaraderie, and resilience required to serve, and provides valuable insights into a formative period of American history.
