Rebel Private:Front & Rear: Memoirs of a Confederate… di William A. Fletcher
Excellent private's eye view, with a variety of experiences. Fletcher served in the infantry in Virginia and later in the cavalry in the Western Theater. Fascinating descriptions of foraging, life in camp and on the march, being wounded, being captured, escaping and being on the run. Detailed stories of interactions with oppressed southern civilians.
I would recommend this book highly to almost anyone. If you are interested in the American Civil War it gives you a view from the lowest rank Southern soldier, and is very interesting for that. The writer had remarkably sophisticated views of war and that particular war which are well worth reading. These memoirs are also worth reading just to come to know a very interesting person.
