This War So Horrible: The Civil War Diary of Hiram Smith Williams, 40th Alabama Confederate Pioneer

Hiram Smith Williams

A different sort of Civil War diary.
[M]ost intriguing … for it is the diary of a Confederate who spent most of his military service as a noncombatant … a soldier who was also an outspoken opponent of military life and war in general and of the Civil War in particular. Hiram Smith Williams was a native Northerner who moved to the South shortly before the war but enlisted as a private in the 40th Alabama Infantry… . This truly unique diary, which is enlivened by Williams’s keen eye for detail, a certain literary flair, and his frank assessment of the Confederate army and cause, also includes extensive notes and a perceptive introduction.
