When Colonel Charles S. Wainwright (1826-1907), later a brevet
brigadier general, was commissioned in the First New York Artillery
Regiment of the Army of the Potomac in October 1861, he began a
journal. As an officer who fought at Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor,
Spotsylvania, and Petersburg, and who witnessed the leadership of
Generals McClellan, Hooker, Burnside, Meade, Grant, and Sheridan,
he brilliantly describes his experiences, views, and emotions. But
Wainwright's entries go beyond military matters to include his
political and social observations. Skillfully edited by Allan
Nevins, historian and author of the classic multivolume Ordeal of
the Union , this journal is Wainwright's vivid and invaluable gift
to posterity.
