"Entertaining, enlightening, consummately human, Van Willard's war may have had days when time hung heavily on his hands, but no reader will suffer his boredom in reading this narrative." --William C. Davis
A really well written war memoir by a man who served in the 3rd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. Probably the best I've ever read as far as memoirs go, Willard could've been a professional writer. On top of a lot of personal and philosophical viewpoints on the war and life, I highly recommend it.
