| Summary | "Life in the Confederate Army" by Arthur Peronneau Ford and Marion Johnstone Ford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work documents the personal experiences of a private soldier in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The narrative focuses on the everyday life and challenges faced by common soldiers, rather than the grand narratives of battles or campaigns, providing insight into the human aspects of military service during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book introduces the author's decision to join the Confederate Army shortly after the war began, depicting the initial enthusiasm of young soldiers as they enlist and prepare for combat. Ford shares anecdotes about daily life, military drills, and interactions with fellow soldiers and their servants. He vividly recounts the sounds of battle, such as cannon fire and the tension of engaging with enemy forces, reflecting on both the camaraderie and the fear experienced by soldiers. The text paints a picture of the unique challenges faced by the individuals in the army, including logistical struggles and personal reflections on bravery and survival in the face of adversity.
