Originally written in 1898, Confederate Private George W. Nichols’s aptly titled Soldier’s Story of His Regiment is one of the classic narratives of frontline infantry service in the Army of Northern Virginia.
Nichols’s 61st Georgia fought in the renowned brigade commanded in turn by General Alexander R. Lawton, General John B. Gordon, and General Clement A. Evans, three of the most distinguished and heroic soldiers of the war. Nichols framed his account without sentimental hindsight; in addition to reporting great battles and dramatic moments, he told the story of two cousins killing each other in a quarrel about cooking duties and described maggot-infested corpses around Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. Nichols reminiscences are a witty, fast-moving account of one of the most hard-fought units of the war. In addition to other battles, the 61st Georgia Volunteers fought at Gaines’ Mill, Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Valley Campaign of 1864, Monocacy, Third Battle of Winchester, Cedar Creek, Petersburg, Fort Stedman, Appomattox. A truly extraordinary, Confederate memoir.
