This is a superb memoir of the Civil War. First published in the 1890's like so many other memoirs it differs in that the author is writing from his dairy. While other memoirs from the period seem nostalgic and full of bravado Andrews tells it like it was, with few tangential passages to muddy the flow of his narrative. The matter of fact recounting of this soldier's life is a melody of endless boredom in camp, child-like wonder at a world he otherwise would not have seen, heartrending pathos and sometimes side-splitting humor. A modern editor's footnotes correct Andrews sometimes mistaken beliefs regarding large-scale events and historical details and add addition context for the narrative. This is a great book, both for the Civil War scholar and the casual reader.
