Book Description
Osborne Oldroyd had two residences in common with his martyred Commander-in-Chief, Abraham Lincoln. He and his family rented the Lincoln house in Springfield after the war and he was instrumental in convincing Robert Lincoln to donate the house to the state. Oldroyd later lived in the Peterson House, where the late President died across the street from Ford's Theater.What was it like day to day for the soldier in the trenches? Osborn Oldroyd, just shy of 21-years-old, kept a diary during the siege of Vicksburg and published it in 1895. For the first time, this compelling, thrilling, sad, and humorous account is available in an affordable, well-formatted abridged e-book.Far from being mere cannon fodder, many of the soldiers of the Civil War were keen observers of the events that changed America forever. They were capable of writing intimate, engaging prose and they were not insensible to the beauty of the night sky or the awful beauty of destruction. With wit, irony, and fierce patriotism, Oldroyd draws us in.From Oldroyd's diary: "...kept up the firing for four hours, during which time the smoke was so thick we could see nothing but the flash of the guns. No fog could have so completely hid from view objects around...such a screeching of shot and shell must prove a terror to them, and my heart has not yet grown so hardened that I can not feel for them."And:"Soldiers grow more friendly as they are brought better to realize the terrible ravages of war. As Colonel Force called us to 'Attention!' this morning, one of the boys remarked, 'I love that man more than ever.'"Even in the midst of the crash of battle, Oldroyd tells us, "Boys at the front have time for sport, which is not to be interrupted even by stray shells." He then goes on to describe a card game during which the boys did not even acknowledge shells flying over their heads.Later he writes of sneaking into a Vicksburg home during the siege and being invited to stay for a birthday party.No history can convey the awful and comical events of Vicksburg like the stories of the common soldiers. No general's account of strategy can bring the same kind of immediacy to events. You'll find yourself at Vicksburg in a way you never thought possible.
