| Summary | "Civil War Experiences" by Henry C. Meyer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's firsthand experiences during the Civil War, specifically his service in the 24th New York Cavalry. Through a series of detailed narratives, Meyer recounts his enlistment, various battles, interactions with significant figures, and the camaraderie developed during his military service. At the start of the narrative, Meyer reflects on his youthful decision to enlist in the army despite his father's objections and shares his journey to join the regiment. He provides vivid descriptions of his initial experiences, from the chaotic atmosphere of military recruitment to the challenges faced on his first mission. The opening portion emphasizes not only his personal growth and determination but also the vivid realities of war, setting the stage for the broader events of his service that unfold throughout the book.
