War Diary of General Joseph Stockton (1862~65): (Expanded, Annotated) (Civil War Generals)

By Joseph Stockton

From first lieutenant to brigadier general, Joseph Stockton commanded through some of the bloodiest and most important battles of the American Civil War. His modest but detailed prose makes it another wonderful soldier's-eye-view of the greatest war of American history through his war diary.Of a serious battle wound during hand-to-hand combat, he writes:"...suddenly fell forward on my face. I thought I had been knocked down by the force of a shell passing by, but feeling some blood trickling down my neck, I put my hand up and found that I had been hit by a side shot through the back of my head, making a painful but not dangerous wound."He also wrote in his diary of his own tears as he witnessed a sorrowful parting between an ill Confederate soldier and his wife in a hospital.Throughout his time in service, he kept this diary, first published posthumously in 1910 by his son.For the first time ever, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
