Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XX. SCATTERING REMINISCENCES. A COMBADE S LOVE. DEGREES g'AMES TABOR and Dennis Garrity O 1 were about the last two soldiers that DEGREES DEGREES DEGREESJ* would have been taken for chums. Garrity was a great thick-chested Irishman with brawny arms and a roistering sort of manner who had served through the Crimean war and knew more of tactics in the first year of the Civil war than half of our officers. Tabor was scarce more than a boy, a slender, palefaced youth, mild of manner and gentle of speech as a girl. Tabor's mother had given him a little pocket Bible when she kissed him good-bye, and, unmindful of the jeers of his comrades, he read it every evening and knelt and offered up a silent prayer before wrapping himself in his blanket. When the first death occurred in our camp we had no chaplain. Tabor was called upon to read the burial service and make a prayer. After that some of the boys tried to tease him by calling him "parson." AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN. Away up in York state there was an oldfashioned flower garden with roses, hollyhocks, sweet-williams, larkspurs, marigolds, lady-slippers, pansies, violets and other emblems of purity and the simple life. The boy had loved that old garden, so when it came summer he had a little reminder of it with a box of pansies by the side of his tent. One day a soldier who had been drinking just enough of the sutler's beer to make him think he was smart came along, and as he passed Tabor's tent he gave the box a kick, upsetting it. Garrity saw the act, and he took the smart chap by his coat collar and shook him as a terrier would a rat. A crowd gathered and then Garrity proceeded to read the riot act to those assembled. "Look a'here, my hearties," said he, "I'm going to give you young devils some advice, an'..

"[...]were badly frightened when the train pulled into the city. The reception was in marked contrast with that in Philadelphia, but the passage through Baltimore was without incident. From Baltimore to Washington there was abundant evidence that the field of operations was not far distant. The railroad was heavily guarded, and camps of soldiers were frequently seen. The boy who two days before had left a quiet country town had to pinch himself occasionally to see if he were really awake and that it was not all a dream. Washington swarmed with soldiers. Troops were camped right in the heart of the city. Heavily laden wagons with the wheels in mud and ruts clear up to the hubs were pulled through Pennsylvania avenue by six and eight mule teams. The capitol and the Washington monument were then unfinished.[...]".

A Leonaur 'two in one' original book on the American Civil War This unique Leonaur edition is sure to appeal to all enthusiasts of the history of the American Civil War. Both titles contained in this book share a common author and common themes. The young Delavan Miller, at scarcely thirteen years old, enlisted as a drummer boy in the New York Heavy Artillery of the Union Army. He has left posterity with a riveting and engagingly anecdote filled first hand account of his experiences at the sharp end of war-including details of camp and march as well as harrowing accounts of full battle including those of Cold Harbor and Petersburg. What makes this Leonaur edition special is that later in life Miller turned his attention to the writing of fiction, particularly short stories, which not only took the American Civil War as a theme, but also focussed on drums and the boys who played them-those stories are included here. This 'two in one' volume is an essential, welcome and charming addition to any library of the American Civil War. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
