... offers an unsurpassed chronicle of the war in the West." ―Register of the Kentucky Historical SocietyThis eyewitness account brings a better understanding to a conflict that brought a nation to its knees." ―Historical Media Review... an exceptional Civil War narrative. It has value for the military and literary historian." ―War; Literature; and the ArtsThe letters and diary of Major James Austin Connolly; 123rd Illinois Infantry; constitute an unsurpassed record of Civil War campaigning in the West. Connolly had a flair for narrative; an eye for people and places; and a smooth and facile style. His accounts offer a realistic picture of day-to-day soldiering in the Civil War―of rough; spare living in the field; of boredom and fun in camp; of seemingly aimless scouts; and of the high excitement of battle.
