• Excerpt from Life in the Confederate Army: Being Personal Experiences of a Private Soldier in the Confederate Army. And Some Experiences and Sketches of Southern LifeOur company fell back from here to a plantation about a mile inland, where we made our camp. I was a very enthusiastic, energetic youngster, and in pitching our large Sibley tent worked with such energy that I attracted the attention of one of our men, Mr. H. Gourdin Young, who jokingly said, Ford, you are a splendid worker. If you were a negro, I would buy you. He was very much my senior.After remaining here for about two months, our men doing some picket duty, we were transferred to Fort Pemberton, a very strong earthwork of 16 guns, on the Stono River, and garrisoned by Lucas' bat talion of Regulars, in which my brother was a lieu tenant. Here we remained for about three months.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
