Description

"What a strange experience this is," I thought, "that two men can draw swords against each other, and then can forget their hatred, and wash it away in blood." Captain Robert Patrick penned one of the most tender and humorous memoirs of the American Civil War. Intelligent and articulate, he captured the life of "war as seen from the ranks" as well if not better than most of his contemporaries.Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, and other battles were part of his experience, as were multiple woundings. Yet his account is full of good humor and obvious love for his men.Though they fought fiercely, many retained feelings of brotherly comradeship with Rebels. After capturing some Confederates at Gettysburg, Patrick heard one say in a hospital:"We uns can't understand you uns; you fight us like devils, and treat us like friends."Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it.
