Camp-Fire and Cotton-Field: Southern Adventure in Time of War.
Life with the Union Armies, and Residence on a Louisiana Plantation
Produced by Suzanne Shell, Michel Boto and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"Camp-Fire and Cotton-Field: Southern Adventure in Time of War" by Thomas W. Knox is a historical account written in the late 19th century, specifically in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War. The book recounts the experiences and observations of the author, who served as a war correspondent and chronicled life with the Union armies while also detailing his time spent on a Louisiana plantation. Knox's narrative likely explores the complexities of war, the social dynamics of the South during this turbulent period, and the personal encounters he faced during his reporting. The opening of the work establishes Knox’s background as a journalist who transitioned from covering the tumultuous political climate in the Rocky Mountains to engaging directly with the military action of the Civil War. He describes the buildup to conflict, people's sentiments towards the war—both North and South—and his personal journey to the battlefront. Notably, he emphasizes moments of tension, such as the heated reactions to the election results in a region divided by loyalties and the growing inevitability of conflict. Knox's observations provide a glimpse into the atmosphere surrounding the impending war and the excitement and apprehension of those directly involved. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 63.8 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
