Memories of the Civil War

Henry B. James (1841 - )

Henry B James enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 20, and fought in many of the key battles of the Civil War. Thirty years later, he wrote this short memoir, which he begins by saying,, "Mine was not an exceptional experience, only that of many a boy of ’61, but it may partly answer the question so often asked: 'What did the privates do?'" - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi
