W. H. Morgan served with the 11th Virginia Infantry, and he tells his war as he told it at veterans’ gatherings: camp and bivouac, picket duty and skirmish lines, Blackburn’s Ford, the Seven Days, Second Manassas and Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and, at last, life as a prisoner. Along the way he also argues the Southern case for secession.
