Synopsis
Excerpt from Cavalry Life in Tent and Field
The young stepmother of the lads in question not only lent her husband to his country, but during the entire three years of his absence tilled and tended the farm, and so well, that on his return it had not only improved in appear ance, but also increased in value.
It requires little imagination to picture the sad parting when father and sons, after having enlisted in the Eighty-ninth Regiment New York Volunteers, left the quiet little village to join the army.
The younger son was not at first permitted to act as a soldier on account of his youth. Al lowed to carry the flag at the head of the com mand, his bravery and boldness caused his father incessant anxiety. At the battle of Camden, when the second color bearer fell, our young hero seized his flag and carried that also until the close of battle. For such an act of bravery General Burnside summoned him to head quarters, and sent him home on recruiting service.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This captivating memoir charts the extraordinary experiences of a young woman as she navigates the perils and hardships of life as an army wife on the untamed American frontier in the mid-19th century. Thrust into a harsh and unforgiving environment, the author recounts her arduous journey to join her husband at a remote outpost in Nevada, enduring grueling stagecoach rides and treacherous mountain crossings. Undeterred by the challenges she faces, she vividly describes the isolated and primitive living conditions, the lack of basic necessities, and the relentless struggle to maintain a semblance of comfort in the face of extreme weather and limited resources. Beyond the physical hardships, the author delves into the emotional toll of frontier life, exploring themes of loneliness, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to venture into the unknown. By shedding light on the sacrifices and challenges endured by army families during this transformative era in American history, this book offers a unique and deeply personal perspective on the indomitable strength and fortitude of those who helped shape the nation's destiny.
