Reminiscences of a Private is William Bevens's personal chronicle
of his participation in such famous Civil War battles as Shiloh,
Chickamauga, Atlanta, and Nashville. There is no supernal heroism
here, no pretension, no grandiose analysis. Bevens is neither
introspective nor philosophical, and he rarely dwells on the larger
issues of the war. He concerns himself with what mattered to him as
a common foot soldier. There are longer and fuller accounts of the
war; however, few are as honest or as direct as this frank and
forthright journal. By confining his contributions as editor to
filling gaps in Bevens's narrative, to correcting some
misspellings, and to providing dates and explanatory notes, Daniel
Sutherland allows Bevens to tell his story of a young Arkansan at
war. His unassuming voice will speak to all readers with compelling
candor.
