Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Private John Henry Cammack: A Soldier of the Confederacy, 1861-1865 to Which Is Added Press Notices and Other Papers Containing Final Tribute to His Memory The task of gathering up the scattered threads of John Henry Cammack´s war experiences has been as arduous as it was pleasant. All through the years of his middle life, when friends would be present, particularly old comrades, stories of the war were one of the great means of entertainment. To his family certain of these stories grew very dear. They were told and retold. His large fund of innate humor threw around the whole of the bitter war story a sort of glamour which took away the harshness of the actual incidents and at times made the whole thrilling experience seem to the children who heard the stories to be only a matter of holiday sport. It was this fine sense of humor that stayed with him to his last day; which smoothed over the rough places, and lent radiance to the war stories that were told in the family circle. Ten years ago members of the family and friends began urging him to write out his personal story of the war. He demurred because he thought it would seem egotistic, then he claimed that he was a poor writer, that the events had happened so long ago that he could not recall them and that nobody would be interested in the affair anyway. But, after repeated urging, he began making his notations. These were written under widely varied circumstances and it is a great wonder that there is any coherence to the narrative.
