In all of the dusty volumes of Civil War memoirs that no one reads anymore, once in a while we come across one such as this. Written by a man with literary aspirations from a regiment of like-minded soldiers, Albert Marshall’s use of the pen produced more eloquence than did that of many of his contemporaries. He left one of the most compelling accounts of the siege of Vicksburg from a private soldier's point of view. He also wrote of service in Texas, which is rare among Civil War memoirs. Eloquent, funny, poignant, and immensely satisfying, Marshall's memoir from his journal is one of the best of the genre. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.

It is now unclear why Phil Koempel's diary was subtitled "1861-1865" when it was first published, as the extant manuscript contains only his last year of service in the American Civil War starting with his re-enlistment in 1864. However, this last year of service was full of action and sacrifice.He was an early enlistee upon the outbreak of war, was at the first battle of Bull Run, served with Fremont, Sheridan, Pope, and was with Grant at Appomattox.Captured in June of 1864, he spent many months in the hellish Andersonville Confederate prison camp. Sick and nearly starved to death, he maintained his diary until he was paroled back to Union lines, recovered his health, and went with Grant's troops to the surrender of Lee's army.The great value in Koempel's diary is it's day-to-day details. He even has price lists for the meager goods available at Andersonville.
