"A History of the Army Experience of William A. Canfield" by William A. Canfield is a memoir written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a personal historical account that reflects on the author's life as a soldier in the Union Army during the Civil War. Canfield, having lost his arm in battle, recounts his experiences both in combat and in hospital care, providing a personal perspective on the struggles and sacrifices faced by soldiers during this tumultuous period in American history. In this narrative, William A. Canfield shares his journey from enlistment to his experiences on and off the battlefield. He chronicles significant events such as his first night on picket duty, the chaos of various battles, and his eventual injury at the Wilderness. Through vivid descriptions of camp life, battle glory, camaraderie among soldiers, and the hardships of hospital care, Canfield paints a comprehensive picture of military life during the Civil War. His reflections on both moral and spiritual awakenings, as well as the kindness of those he encountered, demonstrate the profound impact that the war had on his life. Ultimately, this memoir serves not just as a record of military service but as a testament to resilience and the necessity for human connection amidst the ravages of war.
