| Summary | "In The Ranks: From the Wilderness to Appomattox Court House" by R. E. McBride is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative recounts the experiences of a private soldier in the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War, detailing the hardships, battles, and camaraderie among the men serving in this tumultuous period. The author presents a personal view of the war, offering insights into the feelings and struggles faced by the soldiers." "At the start of the book, McBride introduces his recollections from the time of the Civil War, emphasizing the personal nature of his narrative as he navigates through the memories of battles, camaraderie, and loss. The opening sections describe the feeling that accompanies the outbreak of war, recounting not only the history and impact of significant battles like Bull Run and Gaines’ Mill but also his introduction to military life as a young soldier. The tone fluctuates between the gravity of conflict and moments reflecting on innocence and youthful aspirations, painting a vivid picture of a soldier's life amid the chaos of war."
