Summary "Reminiscences of the Civil War, 1861-1865" by Preston Lafayette Ledford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a personal memoir that recounts the author's experiences during the American Civil War, aiming to capture the memories and stories of the soldiers who participated in the conflict. Ledford, a former Confederate soldier, emphasizes that many personal and historical stories from the war remain untold and seeks to preserve them for future generations. The opening of this memoir introduces Ledford's purpose and perspective as he reflects on the factors leading up to the Civil War, beginning with political tensions and the secession of the Southern states. It describes the initial stages of the conflict, including the loss of loved ones as soldiers leave for war and the emotional farewells from families. The text poignantly illustrates the human cost of the conflict through personal anecdotes, and Ledford opts for a straightforward narrative style, asserting the importance of documenting the personal experiences and tribulations of those who lived through the Civil War.
