Summary

Private William A. Fletcher fought with the famed Texas Brigade at Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, Second Manassas, and Chickamauga. In 1907, he published this fascinating account of his exploits, but a fire destroyed all but a few copies before they could be distributed. One copy, however, did make its way to the Library of Congress. Now this rare glimpse of the war from a grunt's perspective is available to the general reader.

Author Biography

Richard Wheeler, an ex-marine, is the author of sixteen other books of military history, eleven of which deal with different Civil War campaigns and battles, including Voices of the Civil War, winner of the New York City Civil War Round Table's Fletcher Pratt Award. Wheeler is also the author of Voices of 1776: The Story of the American Revolution in the Words of Those Who Were There (Meridian). He lives in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania.
