"Campaigns of a Non-Combatant, and His Romaunt Abroad During the War" by George Alfred Townsend is a historical account written in the mid-19th century.

Townsend's narrative offers a unique perspective, blending personal anecdotes with a portrayal of the war's impact on both soldiers and civilians. The opening of the book introduces the author's reflections on his role as a war correspondent, emphasizing his struggles with the duality of his profession, which often prevents him from enjoying the beauty of the world around him.
