From the rear cover
When Colonel Charles S. Wainwright (1826-1907), later Brevet Brigadier General, was commissioned in the First New York Artillery Regiment of the Army of the Potomac in October 1861, he began a journal. As an officer who fought at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg, and who witnessed the leadership of Generals McClellan, Hooker, Burnside, Meade, Grant, and Sheridan, he brilliantly describes his experiences. But Wainwright's entries go beyond military matters to include his political and social observations on Lincoln and his Cabinet, the soldiers' passion for gambling and prostitutes, army diet and medicine, and much more.
