| Summary | "Random Shots from a Rifleman" by J. Kincaid is a collection of personal narratives and anecdotes about a soldier's life written in the mid-19th century. The book is structured to recount various adventures and experiences from Kincaid's time serving in the military, specifically focusing on his roles in the Peninsula Wars and beyond, filled with humor and candid reflections on military life and character. At the start of the narrative, Kincaid introduces himself humorously and sets the tone for his account by describing his modest upbringing and ambitions of becoming a soldier. He illustrates the unique realities of a soldier's life with vivid anecdotes of camaraderie, mischief, and challenges faced on and off the battlefield. Among the colorful characters he depicts are both the vibrant personalities of fellow soldiers and a goose that served as a devoted companion during a guard duty, creating an engaging and light-hearted atmosphere as Kincaid prepares to delve into the tales that shaped his military career.
