Battle and Banter in Civil War Memoir at Resaca
A Civil War reminiscence recounts the Nineteenth Michigan at McMinnville and Resaca, where a cannonade and brave stands led to a flag planting amid casualties. Jake Stone, captured as a cowardly figure, narrates a comic, chaotic escape from danger while the regiment endured the front. The piece blends military action with a humorous, dialect filled anecdote of Jake’s near-miss retreat and subsequent quips.
