Summary "History of Kershaw's Brigade" by D. A. Dickert is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth examination of Kershaw's Brigade, a unit of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, detailing its formation, engagements, and the experiences of the soldiers involved. It aims to preserve the personal stories, battles, and daily life of the brigade’s soldiers as they fought for their beliefs in a tumultuous era. At the start of the narrative, the author discusses the circumstances surrounding South Carolina's secession from the Union, highlighting the fervent patriotic spirit among its citizens. Dickert emphasizes the motivations behind the war and the significance of Kershaw's Brigade, which comprised several South Carolina regiments. The author further shares personal anecdotes and evocative descriptions of military life, from the excitement of enlisting to the harsh realities of battle. This opening portion establishes the tone of the book, depicting both the bravery and humanity of the soldiers against the backdrop of the Civil War while introducing the main theme of recounting personal and collective histories of the brigade.
