Civil War Experiences

Civil War Experiences AKA Civil War Experiences under Bayard, Gregg, Kilpatrick, Custer, Raulston, and Newberry, 1862, 1863, 1864 is an American Civil War history text by Henry Coddington Meyer. On the day Fort Sumter surrendered and the American Civil War began, I was seventeen years old, having been born April 14, 1844. Like other boys, I proposed enlisting, but my father refused consent; and at that time youths under eighteen years would not be accepted without the consent of parents.
