Sojourns of a Patriot: The Field and Prison Papers of An Unreconstructed Confederate (Journal of Confederate History Series)
Confederate corporal Augustus Pitt Adamson of Jonesboro, GA enlisted in Company E, 30th Georgia Volunteer Infantry in 1861, steadfastly serving his country until the spring of 1865. Over 80 letters, carefully edited with commentary, reveal a keen insight into the military, political and social scenes of a war-torn nation struggling to achieve its independence. A.P. Adamson writes of his participation in the actions at the siege of Savannah, campaigning in the Carolinas and Florida, the abortive Vicksburg relief expedition and the battle of Jackson, the gallant charge of the 30th on the first day of the Battle of Chickamauga, where he was wounded while serving in the color guard, and the 1864 North Georgia campaign at Dalton, Rocky Face Ridge, and Resaca, until his capture at Calhoun in May. He then describes his experiences in a journal written during his incarceration at the "Andersonville of the North," Rock Island POW Camp, Illinois. The abiding faith and ardent patriotism of Adamson are constant themes throughout this book.
