description: Facsimile edition of two rare Civil War "novelettes" written by a Pitt County Confederate soldier during the war. The stories provide firsthand glimpses of actual war scenes in eastern North Carolina; candidly depict internal divisions among North Carolinians in western Craven and eastern Lenoir counties; and offer an unusual glimpse of social and military life on the home front. Includes a detailed introduction by the editor. These two works are reproduced as facsimiles--direct printings of the original text, not transcriptions. Type faces, lines, and print depth are uneven, just as they were printed in the Raleigh Mercury in 1864 and 1865.
