Description
I, Soldier: A Voice from the American Civil War
“With a remarkably new perspective, we are transported back in time to be immersed into the invasive tragedies of war.” -Larry Harris Jr, Creator of “Axis & Allies” military strategy games, and former Army soldier detailed to the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe
“These unromantic portrayals are thought-provoking and intensely horrifying.” -Captain Mark B. Lyles (ret.), Kuwait/Iraq War veteran, and former U.S. Naval War College staff
Expressive, insightful, unique … brilliant storytelling! In this mixed-genre collection of evocative verses and vignettes, a former Civil War reenactor brings to life the experiences of a young, semi-literate Union soldier. With a new perspective, readers are transported back in time using imperfect 1860’s grammar as this inquisitive soldier vividly describes the beliefs, encounters, and tales of his comrades and foes. These timely, timeless, and transformative writings are thought-provoking with many story elements eliciting tears, sighs, anger, and smiles. This intense rollercoasting of emotions should be read slowly. The author’s historically-based storytelling enables readers to visualize a tattered canvas tent where a homesick youth leans into flickering candlelight, and with a shaven pencil stub, scrawls down his daunting wartime impressions. I, Soldier: A Voice from the American Civil War is dedicated to the Union soldiers of old, and to those now, who steadfastly kept their oaths to loyally support and defend the American Constitution and our fragile democracy. Huzzah!
