"July 1, 1864: This campaign is coming down to a question of muscle and nerve. It is the 62d day for us, over 50 of which we have passed under fire."

One of the earliest to enlist in the Union cause of the American Civil War upon Lincoln's call for volunteers, Charles Wills kept a diary throughout his service beyond the end of the war. He also wrote frequent letters home, captured here as well.

He saw combat in many campaigns, including the fall of Atlanta and Sherman's march to the sea. Wills' accounts of battles, camp life, and famous generals he saw, as well as his soldier's comments on the prosecution of the war are priceless.

Educated, articulate, a keen observer, and a fervent Union man, Wills wrote one of the most fascinating accounts of the Civil War. If you're interested in the American Civil War, this is one soldier's account you must not miss.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
