From the publisher

Detailed Minutiae Of Soldier Life In The Army Of Northern Virginia, 1861-1865 is a non-fiction book written by Carlton McCarthy and first published in 1882. The book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the daily life of soldiers who fought for the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. The author, himself a former Confederate soldier, draws on his personal experiences and observations as well as on letters, diaries, and other primary sources to paint a vivid picture of the hardships, challenges, and triumphs of the soldiers who served under General Robert E. Lee. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the initial enlistment and training of soldiers to their experiences on the battlefield, in camp, and on the march. It delves into the soldiers' diet, clothing, shelter, and medical care, as well as their leisure activities, religious practices, and relationships with officers and fellow soldiers. The author also provides insights into the social and political context of the war, including the role of slavery, states' rights, and the Confederate cause.Overall, Detailed Minutiae Of Soldier Life In The Army Of Northern Virginia, 1861-1865 is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the Civil War and the soldiers who fought in it. It provides a wealth of information and anecdotes that will be of interest to anyone interested in military history, the Civil War, or the daily lives of ordinary people during a time of great upheaval and conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

From the rear cover

This Civil War classic of soldiering in the ranks debunks all the romantic notions of war. Like his Northern counterpart, the Confederate soldier fought against bullets, starvation, miserable weather, disease, and mental strain. But the experience was perhaps even worse for Johnny Reb because of the odds against him. Never as well equipped and provisioned as the Yankee, he nevertheless performed heroically.
