Turnbo enlisted in the summer of 1862 and served until the unit's surrender in June, 1865. Before 1910, he wrote this lengthy, detailed account of his military service, giving a private's view of the war: enlistment procedures, camp life, marches, rations, uniforms, relations with other units, officers and enlisted men. He gives a detailed account of the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry. The book is based on a diary kept during the war by Turnbo. This is not flowery prose, but an honest, down-to-earth look at the war. This book has never before been published. Chronology list, full name/subject/place index.
