Collected by William Hamilton Busbey of the 1st Kentucky, this collection of Chicago newspaper stories contains a wealth of data on everyday soldier life not to be found elsewhere. The account of the battle of Stone's River is particularly fascinating giving an excellent prospective of what a soldier saw from the ranks.
