Description

“Mr. Dunn Browne’s Experiences in the Army,” edited by noted Civil War author Stephen Sears, provides a candid, frequently witty, in the back of-the-scenes have a look at the Civil War. A number of battlefront letters composed by Browne (pseudonym of Captain Samuel Wheelock Fiske of the 14th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry), this book is unique in the literature of the Civil War. Fiske was once at once a fighting infantryman and an experienced newspaper correspondent, and no person on this war, on either side, wrote better accounts of a soldier’s experiences in battle and in camp. From Antietam to the Wilderness, readers of the Springfield Republican had Dunn Browne to give an explanation for to them just how it was once in the Army of the Potomac. As well as, he was once an investigative reporter (before that term was once invented) who delved into the follies of the army bureaucracy, the sophistries of the Copperheads, and the abuses of conscription. He delved, too, into the complexities of why men fight.
