In the introduction of his diary, Sgt. John T. Booth of Company G,
36th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, writes that the experience of a
single soldier can never be considered a history of the conflict in
which the soldier serves, but merely a reflection of his personal
experience." Another Day in Lincoln's Army: The Civil War Journals
of Sgt. John T. Booth" brilliantly illustrates this concept,
capturing the ordinary day-to-day life of the Civil War soldier.
From Western Virginia and Antietam Creek in Maryland to
Chickamauga in the Tennessee mountains, this is the compelling
story of Booth and the 36th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (OVI) in the
American Civil War. One of only a few regiments privileged to have
served in both the eastern and western theatres of the conflict,
the 36th OVI fought in some of the bloodiest battles of the war.
Booth eloquently journals the striking contrast between the often
mundane activities of camp life and the horrifying sequences of
battle.
Edited and compiled by Marie Mollohan, "Another Day in
Lincoln's Army "also includes photographs of soldiers who served
alongside Booth, letters and diary entries from other soldiers in
the 36th OVI, and a mixture of feature stories from period
newspapers, vividly bringing this extraordinary time in America's
history to life.
