The Great War Relic (Abridged, Annotated)
You are unlikely to find another memoir of the American Civil War to match this one for eccentricity. Yet it is well worth your reading time.
Charles Cummings made it through the war with the 24th Michigan Infantry Volunteers with nary a scratch. He was in battle and spent time in the notorious Andersonville Prison, where he helped amputate the feet of another soldier with gangrene. It wasn't until later in civilian life that Cummings lost his own feet. All that and more is told in this raucous account of war.
Included is another unique account, that of George E. Reed, who wrote about his time with the Sixth Army Corps in the summer of 1863. His account was written while he was in the ranks and it is written entirely in verse. It may be the only such account from that war.
Cummings includes a wide variety of other anecdotes of the war that will keep you laughing or crying.
Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
