| Summary | "A History of Lumsden's Battery, C.S.A." by George Little and James Robert Maxwell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the experiences and operations of Lumsden's Battery, a Confederate artillery unit during the American Civil War, detailing its formation, various battles, and the daily life of soldiers. The book aims to provide a personal perspective on the lives of these soldiers as they served in the Civil War, enriched by first-hand accounts and diaries. At the start of the book, the authors describe the formation of Lumsden's Battery in May 1861, amidst the fervor of young men volunteering for Confederate service. The narrative introduces notable figures such as Captain Charles L. Lumsden and various sergeants who played critical roles in the unit. The text details the initial recruitment process and the early experiences of the battery members, capturing the shift from civilian life to military preparations, as well as the camaraderie and challenges they faced in the early days of their service. The opening sets a vivid stage for the historical events to follow, focusing on their training, the realities of camp life, and their first deployment. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
