The Making of a Soldier is the story of a young man who grew up the mid 1800's enduring the rigors of early American life. His character was that, which is so often the result of a close-knit family life coupled with hardships and strong-willed parents who tried to build good ethics in their children. The stories that have been passed down through the years about John Wesley, as a lad, testify to that character. He was a gentle, kind, yet hard working young man from his early youth. His determination to get into the Civil War before it ended was typical of his character. Some of the study is fiction, by necessity, but the basic truths that emerge through-out the story are what carries the story forward. The fact that he wrote entries in his diary every single day, even when he was wounded is ample proof of his diligence and determination. His concern about his comrades and his family were genuine, and his struggle with the ethics of shooting another human being, lend truth to the character of the man.
