Leander Stillwell enlisted as an Illinois farm boy and served through the great campaigns of the Western theater, from Shiloh onward. His plain, honest memoir captures the ordinary soldier's Civil War: the marches, the boredom, the terror, and the comradeship. A grounded, human record for readers who want the war from the ranks.
