Klappentext
Major Edward Manigault, one of the commanding officers ordered by General P. G. T. Beauregard to document his unit's daily operations, began a diary in July 1863 that would become one of the most informative records to survive the Civil War. Covering thirteen months of combat in one of the Confederacy's rare siege artillery units, Manigault's journal offers a day-by-day, and at times hour-by-hour, account of life on the front lines. Especially notable for its description of artillery training, Manigault's diary vividly depicts his unit's participation in such well-known engagements at the battle for Battery Wagner and the attempt to seize the U.S. gunboat Marblehead.

Zusammenfassung
Covering 13 months of combat in one of the Confederacy's rare siege artillery units, Major Edward Manigault's journal offers a day-by-day account of life on the front lines during the American Civil War. The journal is especially noted for its description of artillery training.
