Inside the Army of the Potomac: The Civil War Experience of Captain Francis Adams Donaldson

Description

28 b/w photos&6 maps & 6 x 9 . . . one of the finest soldier accounts of the Army of the Potomac that I have ever read." --Brian Pohanka "The letters and diary of Captain Donaldson are excellent. Some are just filled with detail." --Jeffry Wert Francis Adams Donaldson, full of idealistic enthusiasm in the early days of the Civil War, enlisted in the 71st Pennsylvania Regiment. After recovering from a wound incurred at Ball's Bluff, he quickly joined the 118th Pennsylvania. As the realities of campaigns, battles, and infighting among his fellow soldiers begin to press down on him, however, his letters and diary betray a growing disenchantment that leads to a startling climax. Donaldson's fiercely candid observations reveal much about the political life of the Army of the Potomac, and his letters contribute unforgettable descriptions of action at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. J. Gregory Acken is past president of the Old Baldy Civil War Round Table of Philadelphia, and a member of the board of governors of The Civil War Library and Museum. He lives in New Jersey.
