| Summary | "Memories of the Civil War" by Henry B. James is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The author, who served in Co. B of the 32nd Massachusetts Volunteers, recounts his personal experiences and memories from his time as a soldier during the Civil War. The book aims to provide insight into the life of a private soldier, detailing events from enlistment to various battles, as well as the camaraderie and hardships faced by the men who fought. The opening of the work sets the tone with James reflecting on his enlistment and the circumstances that led him to join the Union Army. He describes his initial reluctance and the pivotal moment following the attack on Fort Sumter that ignited his resolve to fight for his country. Throughout the first chapter, he shares anecdotes about his experiences at Fort Warren, including encounters with notable Confederate prisoners and the rigorous military training he endured. The narrative establishes a deeply personal perspective on the shared sacrifices and feelings of the soldiers, while hinting at the arduous journey ahead as they prepare to head towards the front lines of the war.
