Summary "With Grant at Fort Donelson, Shiloh and Vicksburg" by Wilbur F. Crummer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book captures the personal experiences of the author, a soldier in the 45th Illinois Volunteers, during crucial battles of the American Civil War. It provides vivid depictions of the military campaigns led by General U.S. Grant and offers insights into the daily lives, struggles, and thoughts of young soldiers during this tumultuous period. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to two young soldiers, Will and Jim, stationed at Cairo, Illinois, in January 1862. They converse while on guard duty, expressing their eagerness for action as they sense that General Grant is preparing for an offensive—a theme supported by a vivid recollection of the events leading up to and including the pivotal battles of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. Crummer sets the stage with rich detail about the harsh conditions faced by soldiers, the camaraderie among the troops, and the grim realities of war, including moments of humor amidst the struggle for survival.
