Memories of the Civil War, by Henry B. James (1841 - )

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/memories-of-the-civil-war-henry-b-james/
Henry B James enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 20, and fought in many of the key battles of the Civil War. Thirty years later, he wrote this short memoir, which he begins by saying,, "Mine was not an exceptional experience, only that of many a boy of ’61, but it may partly answer the question so often asked: 'What did the privates do?'" (Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Thanks! Chapter three is up. As terse as James' writing is, there are some descriptions in this chapter that really made an impression on me.
Oh, and by the way : HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :birthday:

Scott burst out with "Rude!" regarding the well. (He's eating with me while I was running the recording)
