| Summary | "Notes of a Private" by John Milton Hubbard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative is rooted in the author's personal experiences as a soldier in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, specifically while serving in Company E of the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. The book provides insights into the life and sentiments of the soldiers, as well as various events and battles they participated in, highlighting the complexities of loyalty, valor, and survival amidst the backdrop of war. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to Hubbard's intentions in documenting his experiences, emphasizing a desire for truthfulness and justice regarding the men and events he observed. He recalls the initial excitement and camaraderie among the young recruits embarking on their military journey and discusses the stark transition from civilian life to war. The reader gets a glimpse of the naïveté of soldiers as they prepare for combat, filled with a mix of humor and earnestness, as they navigate through logistical challenges of soldiering. The narrative sets the foundation for a detailed exploration of wartime experiences, soldier behavior, and evolving perspectives as the Confederate forces engage in various campaigns and encounters throughout the South.
