Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Civil War Memories My children, with more affection than good judgment I fancy, are somewhat insistent that I should endeavor to recall the incidents of my life so far as they are concerned with the Civil War. The memory of most of them is, I fear, hopelessly lost, and that of those that remain for the most part shadowy and indistinct. How should it be otherwise - fifty years and more agone. It is, I think, a matter of common observation, that of the strenuous days of life, the days of great events or great emotions, the things sharply held and pictured by memory are only trivialities, the utterly unimportant incidents, the smell of a flower, the adjustment of a strap, the expression on a face, perhaps at a moment when life or death was hanging in the balance. Thus, one day in North Carolina, when I had been sent during an attempted advance of our line to report on the condition and possibilities of the region beyond our right flank, I walked along the edge of a swampy thicket and started across a little road which ran through it.
