The soldiers look serious and stern, staring back at us from their formal portraits. In fact, they were young men with individual personalities filled with the exuberance of youth, married to an often fun-loving attitude toward the tough military life in which they found themselves. These 120 stories by officers and privates delve into the playful side of Confederate service from enlisting, eating, and marching, to cooking, combat, and camp life. Fun, easy to read, and informative.
