Query: The story of a common soldier of Army life in the Civil War

The author, Leander Stillwill, was a teenager when he enlisted in the 61st Illinois Volunteer Regiment and he wrote letters weekly to his family back home. Years later, he again came into possession of those letters and from them wrote this account of the Civil War. His perspective, and the details of his daily life are facinating, and though he wasn't a professional author, his narrative is extremely entertaining and insightful. For example, in order to prevent or cure malaria, the Regiment gave the men a mixture of wiskey and quinine in the morning before breakfast. Most didn't think it did any good, but they got their ration anyway. If you enjoy history, actual military accounts of the Civil War, or have interest in life in America 150 years ago, you will appreciate this work. Definately 5 stars.
