Aprašymas

Author Drew W. Allbritten was an American Civil War reenactor for nearly two decades portraying a young, semi-literate man from a small northern town who enlisted in the Union Army at the beginning of the Civil War.

Using authentic 1860's language and numerous photographs from the period, this collection of writings, poems and vignettes realistically and dramatically reproduces the emotions, fears, tensions, and friendships of a soldier then (and perhaps even now).

While no reenactment can truly demonstrate the brutalities of war, I Soldier provides a unique glimpse into the perspectives and challenges of a typical Civil War private. It covers each year of the nation's Civil War with some reflections on the impact of those involved. it seeks to take the reader into the era by re-acquainting them with the American Civil War.
