The account of the Valley Campaign presented in this particular book is from the experiences of a non-combatant citizen of the Valley. The author tells a story of the Civil War as related by one who was an eyewitness of the facts. The story is told from the standpoint of a boy, who here gives observations and relates experiences that are not usually recounted by the historian. The incidents connected with the story are located almost entirely in the Valley of Virginia, a region that was a scenic and important theater of military operations during the four years of strife, and that suffered as much from the effects of the war as any section of the South. The trials, sufferings, and privations of the people who remained at home and were non-combatant are presented in this chronicle as frankly and as truthfully as possible.
