I, Soldier: A Voice from the American Civil War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954163829)

In this mixed-genre collection of evocative verses and vignettes, a Civil War reenactor brings to life the experiences of a young, semi-literate Union soldier. With a new perspective, readers are transported back in time using 1860s grammar and cadence as this soldier vividly describes the emotions, fears and tales of his comrades. These writings are thought-provoking with many story elements eliciting tears, sighs, anger and smiles. The author's historically-based storytelling visualizes a homesick boy leaning into a flickering candlelight, and with a shaven pencil stub, scrawling down his scores of encounters. This book is dedicated to the Union soldiers of old, and those now, who always kept their oaths to support and defend our Constitution and America's democracy. Huzzah!
