Anotace knihy

An adopted Georgian's story of his war with the Confederacy Posterity is fortunate that the American Civil War has given us dozens of first hand accounts from soldiers of all ranks-and all are absolutely essential. They are source material for both serious and casual students. Accounts from the Union side of the conflict exist in numbers, but it is inevitable that those from the losing side are in fewer number. This account is by a French soldier who fought as an infantryman beside his friends from his adopted state of Georgia. In common with many in the Civil War, Hermann and the First Georgia Regiment quickly found themselves in the midst of hard action where casualties quickly mounted. They saw action at Antietam, Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chickamauga and on many other bloodily contested fields before the end of the war. The author tells a touching and engaging story in which he reveals himself to be a feisty and resilient soldier disinclined to accept an injury from anyone irrespective of rank, the colour of their uniform or, indeed, those in civilian attire. Originally titled 'Memoirs of a Veteran,' this title has been slightly changed for this edition to more accurately signal its subject to modern readers. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
