Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Vir... by Carlton McCarthy

'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title. Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life does for the Confederate side what John Billings€™s Hardtack and Coffee, also a Bison Book, does for the Northern. Real but forgotten faces are glimpsed momentarily in famous battles, and the tramp of feet on the way to Appomattox is heard. Never as well equipped and provisioned as the Yankee, he nevertheless performed heroically. Carlton McCarthy, a private in the Army of Northern Virginia, describes the not-always-regular rations, various improvisations in clothing and weaponry, campfire entertainments, the jaunty spirits and the endless maneuvering of the men in gray. But the experience was perhaps even worse for Johnny Reb because of the odds against him.

Like his Northern counterpart, the Confederate soldier fought against bullets, starvation, miserable weather, disease, and mental strain. Language: English.This Civil War classic of soldiering in the ranks debunks all the romantic notions of war. Hope you will like it and give your comments and suggestions.
