Diary Of Battery A, First Regiment Rhode Island Light Artillery

A vivid window into a soldier's daily life on the march and in camp. A living record of endurance, discipline, and memory that keeps history intimate and immediate. Diary Of Battery A, First Regiment Rhode Island Light Artillery brings a civil war diary to life as a battlefield memoir that moves beyond dates and battles. Theodore Reichardt's regimental diary captures not just campaigns, but the texture of life under canvas, the routines of drill, the cadence of letters home, and the small reckonings that shape courage. It is a history student resource that reads with the clarity of a narrative and the rigor of primary testimony, a companion for battlefield history readers and those studying us civil war era military life. The work stands as both a compelling narrative and a careful record of a Rhode Island militia unit in action, offering a rare glimpse into the rhythm of soldier daily life amid the upheavals of war. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure - it invites casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to experience the immediacy and moral resolve of a regimental diary, a diverse archive that enriches any battlefield diaries anthology.
