"Personal Recollections of the Civil War" by James Madison Stone is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative is framed through the eyes of a private soldier in the 21st Volunteer Regiment of Infantry from Massachusetts, reflecting on his experiences and observations during the Civil War. The primary focus is on the day-to-day life of soldiers in both camp and combat situations, rather than strategic military details. The opening of this memoir sets the stage for the author's personal journey as a soldier, beginning with his enlistment and initial experiences at Camp Lincoln in Worcester, Massachusetts. Stone describes the camaraderie and the adjustment to military life, detailing various activities such as drills, cooking, and the vivid experiences of marching toward the front lines. He recounts his observations of the changing dynamics in the camp, interactions with fellow soldiers, and his encounters within the local communities, shedding light on the broader social environment of the time. Through these reflections, Stone paints a vivid picture of what life was like for an average soldier during the tumultuous years of the Civil War.
