The
Civil War comes to life through the eyes of someone who actually lived
it.
From the
beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, to the days following the
surrender at Appomattox in 1865, Carlton McCarthy draws the reader into
the world of the common Confederate soldier. With rich and vivid
details of the military camps, marches, skirmishes and battles, his
personal stories and anecdotes bring to life what it was like to be a
soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia during that long brutal war.
As a young man,
McCarthy fought with local units before finally enlisting with the 2nd
Company, Richmond Howitzer’s Artillery Unit in 1864. He captures their
day-to-day life, as well as their triumphs and tragedies, with both
heart wrench-ing honesty and with the healthy dose of humor that
enabled them all to bear the long years of hardship and deprivation.
It has an
accuracy and richness that could only come from a man who was actually
there; and when you finish reading, you feel like you were there with
him.
“This absorbing and
revealing book is an absolute must have for any Civil War buff!”
