About this book
Family storytelling provides the starting point for Luther W. Hopkins's account of service in the Confederate army between 1861 and 1865. Written at his son's urging, the memoir presents the Civil War through a young soldier's experience with the 6th Virginia Cavalry. Hopkins gives particular attention to marches, camp conditions, training and the horses that carried soldiers through the conflict. His preface addresses younger readers and explains his wish to preserve details that broader histories can overlook.
The personal voice comes through in a brief visit to his old home while his regiment is still moving, and in memories of buying fresh milk near Brandy Station. Alongside these everyday scenes are descriptions of military routes and movements around Gettysburg.
