Diary of a Yankee Engineer: The Civil War Diary of John Henry Westervelt Tapa dura - 1996
de Anita Palladino
Descripción de contraportada
On September 8, 1862, John H. Westervelt enlisted as a private in the 1st New York Volunteer Engineer Corps. That same year, Westervelt shipped out of New York aboard the Star of the South to South Carolina to join the Union campaign near Charleston. In April of 1863, he began a journal for his thirteen-year-old son Frazee. One hundred and thirty-one years later, John Westervelt's journal - 68 entries written on a series of tattered yellow pages, a record of "such things as may come under my personal observations" - was found in the trash outside his former home in West Farms, New York. Soon after, his drawings, meant to accompany the journal, were discovered in the West Point Special Collections Archives. The journal and the drawings have been reunited at last in Diary of a Yankee Engineer, giving a poignant, first-hand view of a soldier's experiences during the War of the Rebellion. Westervelt's words, not intended for the history books but for the education of his young son, present an authentic and rare look at the soldier's life. This is the story of an ordinary man in an extraordinary time - a man who lived as he thought right, and who died in consequence.
