Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Virginia, 1861-1865
WE are familiar With the names and deeds of the generals, from the commander-in-chief down to the almost innumerable brigadiers, and we are all more or less ignorant of the habits and characteristics of the individuals who com posed the rank and file of the grand armies of 1861 - 65.
As time rolls on, the historian, condensing matters, mentions the men by brigades, divisions, and corps. But here let us look at the individual soldier separated from the huge masses of men composing the armies, and doing his own work and duty.
The fame of Lee and Jackson, world-wide, and as the years increase ever brighter, is but condensed and personified admiration of the2 soldier life.
