Product Description
"This is the story of the American Civil War told from the perspective of a Private. It is the tale of one man who attempted to make a difference in a conflict that tore his nation apart. Thomas Tilden Bailey—a Private in that epic struggle—tells the all-too-familiar story of a single soldier and the difficulties he faced. From his problems with the bureaucracy of military life, to struggles within his own ranks, to the realities a captured soldier faces in an escalating conflict, Bailey reminds us that in any war it is often the travails of the unknown soldiers that make the best stories."
