The Story of a Common Soldier of Army Life in the Civil War, 1861-1865
The Story of a Common Soldier of Army Life in the Civil War, 1861-1865
There exist a number of books devoted to the Civil War of America whose authors have sometimes absolutely different opinions on the causes and course of the war. However, this version proposed by Leander Stillwell is pretty special and very interesting. He shares his own life story and experience. He was born in Otterville, Illinois and in January 1862 had to leave his native farm and go to take part in the war. He participated in many battles but at that time already understood that the Civil War was unnecessary as many other soldiers thought. Leander Stillwell criticized his commanders and officers in an honest way. This book is a must-have for everyone interested in the mysteries from the history of the United States.
