The diary of a young officer serving with the armies of the United States during the war of the rebellion

Extremely well written diary of an 18yr old man who volunteers as a '90-day man' and serves with the 71st NY Volunteers at Bull Run as a private.
Mustering out with the rest of the 90-day men, he returns to NYC and volunteers as a 3yr man for the 57th NY Volunteers as an officer.
He describes camp life and attitudes of the officers and men of the Army of the Potomac. He describes his participation in every battle and fight from Seven Days though Spotsylvania, where his narrative ends. I wish he had continued his story to the war's
end and beyond. He survived the war because he published the work in 1909. This is a man of honor, duty, and courage.
