The memoirs of Civil War generals are some of our most common sources that we look at when learning about this tumultuous conflict. But what about the voices of the common soldier? Frank Wilkeson aimed to rectify this and reassert the importance of looking at the accounts of the men who carried the muskets, served the guns, and rode into the heat of battle. Recollections of a Private Soldier in the Army of the Potomac is a wonderfully refreshing account of the American Civil War that takes listeners to the heart of what it would have been like to have served in the front ranks.

Fair account of first-hand experience of war.
Revisado: 02-04-23
I loved the performance of the narrator, his voice did well conveying especially emotional points of the story. The writings itself I believe are a solid glimpse into the author's experience of the war, touching on a couple important battles and containing some often overlooked details by other authors on the Civil War. That said, I often felt jostled by how the author occasionally jumped to a new setting without bridging us from the previous experience, it felt there were some gaps. Of course real life recollections can be very much like this and taking everything into consideration, it was a good recounting of his experience and I consider these stories a national treasure and I do recommend the listen.
