CIVIL WAR SOLDIER LIFE: IN CAMP & BATTLE. Third Edition by George F. Williams, 2001. Introduction and New Material by Patrick A. Schroeder. George Williams served for the first three years of the Civil War as a soldier and the last year as a journalist. "He tells about going into battle for the first time and how it felt later as a veteran. Williams explains the difficulties for Americans making the transition from civilian to soldier. He writes of the pleasures of camp life, about winter quarters, and gives insight on the generals and their nicknames. Williams peppers the material with first hand accounts and humorous incidents. The main idea behind his writing was to educate people who had not seen military service in the war... His work is even more impressive because he is unbiased and pays respect to the soldiers both North and South." Enjoyable and informative reading, this account of Civil War soldier life includes 18 pictures and sketches. Autographed by Patrick Schroeder. ISBN 1-889246-04-2 44 pages, 6 x 9 softbound
