As he states, this account of several battles in which he was an officer centers around his person and observations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut what an observer! Written nearly 50 years after the war, Bierce captures the horror, confusion, disastrous mistakes, and humor of the war from ground level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was a soldier at Shiloh, Franklin, and at many other battles of the Civil War. Seriously wounded in the head at Kennesaw Mountain he was out of action for several months but returned to service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLate in his life, Bierce disappeared without a trace in Mexico. The mystery of his disappearance has never been solved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is not another Civil War memoir quite like this. With his wonderful economy of style, his cynical wit, and his passion for the subject, Bierce left one of the most remarkable, if short, autobiographies of the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnnotated and contains:\u003cbr\u003e---On a Mountain\u003cbr\u003e---A Little of Chickamauga\u003cbr\u003e---A Crime at Pickett's Mill\u003cbr\u003e---What I Saw of Shiloh\u003cbr\u003e---What Happened at Franklin","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084650397936,"sku":"2940149174478","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149174478_p0.jpg?v=1763712860","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149174478","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
