| 520 | 1 | |a "In 1862 at the age of thirty-two, physician John Bennitt of Centerville, Michigan, joined the 19th Michigan Infantry Regiment as an assistant surgeon and remained in military service until the end of the war. During this time, Bennitt wrote more than two hundred letters home to his wife and daughters. In them he shared his careful and detailed observations of army life, including dramatic battles, his medical trials in the field and army hospitals, and character sketches of his regimental comrades, captured Confederates, and local southern citizens. Bennitt writes about the war's progress on both the battlefield and the home front and also reveals his changing view of slavery and race." "Bennitt traces the history of the 19th Michigan Infantry, from its mustering in Dowagiac in August 1862, to its duty in Kentucky and Tennessee, its capture and imprisonment by Confederate forces and its subsequent exchange and reorganization, its participation in the Atlanta and the Carolinas campaigns, its place in the Grand Review in Washington, and its final mustering out in Detroit in June 1865. John Bennitt's significant collection of letters sheds light not only on the Civil War but also on life in a small Michigan town."--BOOK JACKET. | |
