註釋He was a seventeen-year-old New England preacher's son who had lied about his age and enlisted in the Union Army in the Civil War with visions of glory and of an early return home. He was to serve three long years, from December 1861 to December 1864, with extended periods of inaction interspersed with brief skirmishes and then service in some of the bitterest battles of the war at Port Hudson and later in the Virginia Campaign. He wrote over 100 letters home, and kept a diary for a least two years. From these we are given vivid pictures, both actual sketches and verbal descriptions, of life in the Union Army and the war and glimpses of Eugene's confused inner struggle that lasted beyond the war years. Tramping Out The Vintage is the picture of one man in the Civil War. It could be the picture of man in war. -- Back cover.
