Synopsis
Excerpt from Narrative of a Private Soldier: In the Volunteer Army of the United States, During a Portion of the Period Covered by the Great War of the Rebellion of 1861
In writing the following narrative of my experiences during the troublous period embracing the years 1861 to 1864 I disclaim any intention of setting myself up as a historian.
The sphere in which I moved was not at anytime so elevated as to enable me to form views of men and things of so extended a character as that they could have any general bearing or interest. It is extremely seldom that a person in the ranks of an army or in the mass of a political machine becomes acquainted with the springs of a movement until its object has been accomplished or defeated. As for the army movements by Geographical Divisions, momentous crises in Congress, the probable effect of defeat in the field upon the finances of the country, and the like,we never discussed nor, for my part, thought of them.
