Personal Recollections of Service in the Army of the Cumberland and Sherman’s Army

A deeply Christian man, with a pervading moral compass, McNeil writes in honest clarity about the difficulties he faced during his time fighting for a united country and the rights of the natives throughout the period 1861 – 1865. Written in a very accessible and personal style McNeil remembers, with fantastic historical accuracy, the many battles and ambushes that he was a part of. The diary of veteran, S. A. McNeil, detail his immensely moving time as a member of the 31st Ohio Regiment during the time of the American Civil War.
