Summary "Personal Reminiscences of the War of 1861-5" by W. H. Morgan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the author's personal experiences as a Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. Morgan recounts his time in camp, on the battlefield, and even in prison, providing insights into the camaraderie, struggles, and pivotal moments of this formative conflict in American history. The opening of the memoir introduces readers to Morgan’s intention to document his wartime experiences, emphasizing a personal narrative rather than a comprehensive history. He shares a brief sketch of the organization of his company, "The Clifton Grays," and elaborates on the context of the soldiers' lives before entering active service. Morgan connects deeply with his comrades, illustrating their shared commitment and sense of duty despite their initial inexperience in military affairs. His tone reflects a blending of nostalgia and pride, setting the stage for an exploration of the trials and tribulations that lie ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
