Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Young Volunteer: A Record of the Experiences of a Private Soldier What is army life during the time of war like, as seen by "the rank and file" - the men who compose the great majority? To give an idea of the experiences and everyday existence of the private soldier was the main object in writing this story. The world is full of books written from the standpoint of the officers, giving the movements of troops and general accounts of great battles, and describing the maneuvers as witnessed from headquarters. They are histories, it is true, as seen by the writers, but they do not portray the life, hardships, trials and sufferings of that portion of the army known as "the men." There is a great dividing gulf, military and social, between "officers" and "men," and they see the same things with vastly different eyes. There are very few works relating to the actual experiences of the private soldier, giving his troubles and his joys, and presenting the dark and the bright sides of his life in the army. Hence this story covers a somewhat unbeaten field, and its novelty will proportionately add to its interest. The story is historically correct, so far as it goes. It is part of the history of the Thirteenth Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, in the War of the Rebellion. But it is only so in part, for it is merely carried far enough to give the reader an idea of a private´s life in the army.
