Last week I posted a book composed from the letters a young Union soldier wrote to his sweetheart from the first months of the war till the letters stopped at Cold Harbor.
I wanted to follow up with a well written first hand account from a Confederate soldier who served during the same time frame, in the same battles, here we have the other side of the story, we see myths stripped away, we see another young idealistic boy rush off to war and the hardened warrior he becomes.
