Wounded twice, he served to the end of the war in the presence of some of the most famous commanders of the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFavill made insightful and candid assessments of the commanders and peers with whom he served, some of which may surprise you. He was never as enamored of McClellan as so many of his comrades were, though he initially had high hopes for Little Mac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, Josiah never grew inured to the sights and sounds of war. Though he believed fervently in the rightness of the cause, he repeatedly recorded the horror of seeing men destroyed and he felt a sense of a melancholy over what the terrible destruction of war said about humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut he also wrote of much humor and the great comradeship of his brothers in arms. At the end of the war, the young officer was not yet 24 years old.\u003c\/p\u003eCited by historians, Favill's diary paints a vivid and colorful portrait of one young officer's experiences during the defining event of his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josiah Marshall Favill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1703444787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781703444780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.86d","brand":"Josiah Marshall Favill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140800729343,"sku":"9781703444780","price":17.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0adb1c4-2cad-40b9-9650-505f7364a2aa.jpg?v=1726597068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-diary-of-a-young-josiah-marshall-favill-9781703444780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
