Leaving his Uniontown, Pennsylvania, home in February 1864, Chisholm fought with the Army of the Potomac in the final campaigns of the Civil War, as Grant pushed his superior numbers in bloody head~on collisions against Lee's dwindling Confederate Army. The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Five Forks, Appomattox~the battles that raged across Virginia will live forever in the nation's memory. At war's end, Chisholm returned to his family home, where he had the foresight to preserve a personal chronicle of the war. He collected the letters he had written home, and he transcribed them into a notebook. He also borrowed the diary of Samuel Clear, his fellow soldier and townsman, and he transcribed that into his notebook as well. The result is an extraordinary glimpse at the life of ordinary soldiers 125 years ago, as told in their own words. This is not the story of generals and grand strategies. Rather, it is the story of long, exhausting marches and endless hours on picket; of making camp, breaking it down, and making it again; of eating hardtack and sleeping on the hard ground; of cold, damp winter and hot, parched summer; of bullets and cannon shot flying, men falling, and truces to bury the dead. We see Union deserters executed and starving rebel soldiers surrender. We rejoice when peace finally comes, and then suddenly we mourn the death of Abraham Lincoln. At last, we're greatly relieved to get home to a delicious meal of squirrel pot pie. The Civil War Notebook of Daniel Chisholm reaches across the generations to bring to life voices from an America of long ago. A historically valuable document that also tells a moving and dramatic story, this book will appeal to both the serious scholar and to the general interest reader.…
