The Story of a Soldiers Life in Canada, 1861-1870: including A Months Visit to the Confederate Headquarters

Extracted from his memoirs, this is the story of Garnet Wolseley's time in Canada, 1861-1870, a time which included the Fenian Invasion and the Red River Expedition. This is a first hand account of these important and momentous events in the early years of the Canadian Confederation.

In the text, Wolseley describes his visit to the Confederate Army near Richmond. This led to him writing an important article on the state of the Army which was published in Blackwood's Magazine and is reproduced here in full.

A fascinating read for anyone interested in this dynamic period in Canada's history and in the Confederate Army.
