Under Five Commanders in the Civil War (Expanded, Annotated)

By Jacob Henry Cole

As Jacob Cole watched commanders come and go throughout the American Civil War, he remained steadfastly on the front lines at places like Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, and Antietam. Like many men of his generation, he was able to capture the humor, sorrow, and horror of that bloodiest of American conflicts in this wonderful 1906 memoir.Shortly after the firing on Fort Sumter and the call for volunteers, 14-year-old Cole enlisted on the 24th day of August, 1861, at New York City in Company A, Fifty-seventh New York Volunteer Infantry. He also served with the First Fire Zouaves, made up of New York firemen. He wore the unconventional uniform of the Zouaves but his experiences were like every other fighter who remained in to the end. He saw action at Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor and elsewhere.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.
