While eyewitness accounts of the Civil War by enlisted men are
uncommon, even scarcer are personal narratives from the Civil War
in the West. These journals and letters were written by Lewis Roe,
an Illinois farm boy who served in the 7th U.S. Infantry and the
50th Illinois Volunteer Infantry between 1860 and 1865. They offer
details of an epic march from Fort Bridger, Wyoming, to New Mexico,
a firsthand account of the Battle of Valverde (1862), and Roe's
efforts to understand ongoing events as the country rushed toward
the outbreak of hostilities. Later in the war, Roe documented the
Union occupation of Rome, Georgia, and the battle of Allatoona, and
left us a candid account of an enlisted man's experiences with
Sherman's army on its March to the Sea and in the Carolinas
Campaign. His relative objectivity and attention to everyday
details make this valuable record a lively read.
