An artillery man's experience of the war between the states
Carlton McCarthy, the author of this book, was a serving soldier in
the Army of the Confederacy during the great American Civil War. As
a humble private soldier of the second company of the Richmond
Howitzers, Cutshaw's Battalion of Artillery, he had an intimate
experience of life on campaign and upon the battlefield from within
the Second Corps of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
McCarthy has painted a fascinating portrait of his experience of
war and army life taking the reader to the very heart of the
everyday business of soldiering for the Southern states. Much
detail will be found in these pages concerning the minutiae of camp
and campaign in all its aspects. McCarthy gives a vivid account of
the closing stages of the war, the collapse of the Confederacy and
his return homeward immediately after the surrender and the
difficulties of subsisting in its aftermath.
