Viac o knihe

Offering a rare perspective on the Civil War, this memoir captures the experiences of Private William A. Fletcher, a Confederate soldier in the Texas Brigade. His vivid recollections from key battles, including Gettysburg and Chancellorsville, highlight the horrors and absurdities of war. Originally published in 1907, the book was nearly lost to history due to a fire, with only a few copies surviving. Its rediscovery provides invaluable insight into the Southern viewpoint, making it an essential read for understanding the conflict's human aspects.
