Many memoirs of the American Civil War were written, as John Gill's was, for the eyes of family and friends only. It is our good fortune that their accounts survived.

One of the benefits of private publishing was that the author felt less necessity to censor themselves or conform their writing to prevailing sentiments. As an unreconstructed Rebel, John Gill writes of the horrors of the war, the loss of good friends, and unfortunately a longing for the days when slavery kept his world in the order in which he was accustomed. One wonders how his descendants would read this today.

Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. Gill fought at Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, and many other important battles.

For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. 

Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
