Henry Perkins Goddard (1842-1916) served in the Union army during the Civil War as both a soldier and war correspondent. Edited by his grandson, Calvin Goddard Zon, this book represents a collection of Goddard's letters, journals, and newspaper dispatches about the war and the era of reconciliation that followed. He covered many of the war's most well-known battles--Fredericksburg, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg--as well as the misery of camp life and the attitudes, beliefs, and motivations of his comrades.
