Excerpt from A Private Chapter of the War
Excitement, and every eye is strained toward the woods skirting our front. An orderly sent to order in our out posts returned wounded. The others were absent on duty. Bailey, said the General to the writer, would you mind ordering in those fellows A horse, - a hasty mounting, a dash over the works, a dash over the intervening space, - and the order was delivered. The pickets of the outpost were already engaged with the advancing Confederate skirmish-line, and little leaden messengers hissed and whizzed uncomfortably close, cut ting through the air and foliage. A recall of pickets, an excited and confused falling in, and a hasty repair ing to our lines, closely followed by the advancing Con federates. Other pickets are coming in rapidly, and the general report is, They are coming on us heavy!

Excerpt from A Private Chapter of the War
This volume is not a complete history of military experiences of the writer; if so, it would necessarily embrace a period of time extending between September, 1861, and April, 1865. It would include enlistment and fifteen months service as a private soldier in the Sixth Infantry, Connecticut Volunteers, Army of the Potomac, at Washington; the ocean trip from Fortress Monroe to Port Royal, South Carolina, and the picturesque bombardment and reduction, at the latter place, of Forts Walker and Beauregard, November 7, 1861, and the first lodgment of Union forces on South Carolina soil; the campaign and expeditions about Hilton Head and Beaufort, South Carolina, down to February, 1863; the promotion and transfer to the Sixth Infantry, Missouri Volunteers, Army of the Tennessee; the entire campaign of Vicksburg, with its bloody charges; the Chattanooga campaign, and bloody Mission Ridge; the march to the relief of Gen. Burnside at Knoxville; the Atlanta campaign, with its principal battles and flank movements, in all of which the writer participated either as a private or as an officer with his company, or as A. D. C., Second Division Staff of the Fifteenth Army Corps, and during which he was twice wounded. To embrace these experiences, however interesting, would be foreign to the object of this volume, which is to select from the whole military history a "private chapter," and present it as worthy of being recorded as uncommon experiences.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This extraordinary memoir unveils a private chapter from the American Civil War, recounting the perilous escape of a captive Union soldier, Lieutenant Bailey. After being held prisoner in Atlanta, Lieutenant Bailey buried himself in a shallow grave to avoid detection by Confederate soldiers. When the prisoners were marched away, he heroically emerged from his earthen prison and embarked on a thrilling journey through enemy territory. Lieutenant Bailey's narrative not only provides an insider's perspective on military experiences, but also explores the complex human dynamics of the Civil War. The book delves into themes of courage, resilience, and the search for freedom. It offers insights into the lives of both Union and Confederate soldiers, as well as the civilians who found themselves caught in the crossfire of the conflict. Beyond its gripping personal narrative, the book also sheds light on the broader historical context of the Civil War. It examines the political and social tensions that led to the conflict, and explores the impact of the war on the nation as a whole. Through Lieutenant Bailey's eyes, readers gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made and the challenges faced by both sides in this tumultuous period of American history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
