John Beatty, The Citizen-Soldier, 1st Ed.

Description

General John Beatty’s The Citizen-Soldier; or, Memoirs of a Volunteer tells the story of service with the 3rd Ohio regiment and in the Army of the Cumberland in the west.

Of this work historian Lloyd Lewis writes “Like Grant’s Memoirs, [Beatty] views war and warriors with a candor and common sense and humor that are undated.” A witty and sometimes caustic reminiscence including Perryville, Stones River and Chickamauga.

Lightly foxed; light rubbing; light mottling; light chipping of extremities; else very good.
