These famous recollections are the best ever written by a Confederate soldier. Booth participated in the Baltimore riot on April 19, 1861, and received his baptism of fire at First Manassas.

After Booth marched to the gates of Washington with Jubal Early in 1864, he was taken prisoner. James Robertson, Jr., writes "Written by a young soldier who participated in many battles before his capture, this works contains so much on affairs both on and behind the lines that it is deserving of republication."
