The Civil War comes to life through the eyes of someone who
actually lived it. From the beginning of the American Civil War in
1861, to the days following the surrender at Appomattox in 1865,
Carlton McCarthy draws the reader into the world of the common
Confederate soldier. With rich and vivid details of the military
camps, marches, skirmishes and battles, his personal stories and
anecdotes bring to life what it was like to be a soldier in the
Army of Northern Virginia during that long brutal war. As a young
man, McCarthy fought with local units before finally enlisting with
the 2nd Company, Richmond Howitzer's Artillery Unit in 1864. He
captures their day-to-day life, as well as their triumphs and
tragedies, with both heart wrench-ing honesty and with the healthy
dose of humor that enabled them all to bear the long years of
hardship and deprivation. It has an accuracy and richness that
could only come from a man who was actually there; and when you
finish reading, you feel like you were there with him. "This
absorbing and revealing book is an absolute "must have" for any
Civil War buff "
