This War So Horrible: The Civil War Diary of Hiram Smith Williams, 40th Alabama Confederate PioneerUniversity of Alabama Press, 30 мар. 1993 г. - Всего страниц: 175 A different sort of Civil War diary. "[M]ost intriguing . . . for it is the diary of a Confederate who spent most of his military service as a noncombatant . . . a soldier who was also an outspoken opponent of military life and war in general and of the Civil War in particular. Hiram Smith Williams was a native Northerner who moved to the South shortly before the war but enlisted as a private in the 40th Alabama Infantry. . . . This truly unique diary, which is enlivened by Williams’s keen eye for detail, a certain literary flair, and his frank assessment of the Confederate army and cause, also includes extensive notes and a perceptive introduction." —Civil War History |
