George C. Marshall. Harwell asserts that the "common denominator of the Confederacy s common soldier seems to be that each wrote an account of his experiences . especially . the men who fought under Jaskson"; Eicher opines that "[p]articularly valuable sections descripes the author s service at Antietam, where he was wounders, and in the Shenandoah Valley campaign o 1864.". Coulter avers that given the account was penned forty years after the war, it nearly certainly contains inaccurate details [Coulter is not alone in this opinion].
