This fascinating volume, edited by Dr. Don E. Alberts, offers a rare glimpse into the Civil War’s often-overlooked Western Theater through the eyes of A.B. Peticolas, a Confederate soldier stationed along the Rio Grande. Peticolas’ journal entries, meticulously transcribed and annotated, provide a vivid and personal account of the hardships, battles, and daily life experienced by the Rebels who fought to defend the Southwest against Union forces. Beyond its historical significance, the book also serves as a poignant reminder of the human toll of the war, as Peticolas’ candid observations reveal the physical and emotional struggles faced by those caught in the conflict. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate this unique primary source, which sheds light on an underexplored aspect of the Civil War while offering a compelling narrative that transports one to the harsh landscapes and intense skirmishes of the Rio Grande campaign.
