Richmond Howitzers Winter Camp Tales Amid War Hardships
A fragmentary memoir recalls the Army of Northern Virginia Howitzers during 1862 at the Rapidan winter quarters. It details poverty, hay details for subsistence, improvised shelter, and meals, with scenes of guard duty, transport, and the soldiers’ rough, often entertaining, life despite shortages and constant threat. The narrative preserves names and places tied to Confederate artillery life and the era’s social dynamics.
