This leather-bound volume, like every book in the Collector's Library of the Civil War, has been reproduced photographically from the original edition. It thus preserves the authenticity of the original, including typographical errors and printing irregularities.
The Army Memoirs of Lucius W. Barber is a lively, highly personal account of his experience during "the four years, five months and 27 days" that he wore "the livery of Uncle Sam."
Barber was a Midwestern farmboy who eagerly joined the Union Army during the War's first weeks, moved around a lot, fought in several battles, got a taste of prison, and returned home safe at War's end. He kept a detailed written record of where he went and what he saw, and he was a man of many strong opinions, which he did not hesitate to air.
Frontispiece: Portrait of Lucius Barber. Appendix: Barber's Obituary.
