He fough in action large and small from Belmont to Reseca to Frankin to Spanish Fort. With clarity and scrupulous honesty, Phil depicts day-to-day life of a Confederate private under the command of Bragg, Johnston and Hood. As a boy from St. Louis, Philip Stephens followed his brother to Memphis to join the Confederate Army. When his brother enlisted, Philip tagged along serving something of a mascot and friend to his brother’s company until he enlisted in the 5th Company, Washington Artillery. He was present at most of the action seen by the Army of Tennessee. In this extraordinary memoir, he provides his extensive and powerful recollections of the war. He relates what he observed in great detail, particular the last, hard year of the conflict. Through his powerful and insightful memoirs, we see what he saw on the march, on the field of battle and in camp. We feel what he felt through is descriptions of the various officers and soldiers he engages and served with and see the unique view of a young boy that can seldom be found in Civil War writing. His observations on the men of the 13th Arkansas are insightful. The Battle of Belmont, Columbus, Corinth, Chattanooga, Mission Ridge, Dalton, are all included. Later in the war, serving with the Fifth Company, Washington Artillery he fights from Resaca to New Hope Church, Jonesboro, on the Kennesaw Line, in Atlanta, Jonesboro, Allatoona, Loblolly, in Franklin, and Nashville, along the long retreat and more. His service with the Washington Artillery coincides with the rough, final years of the war, when he was not under the care of his brother. Stephenson notes the horrors of trench warfare and the stress that it put on men. The pressure became too great for some and he describes some of those who cracked. One member of his battery horrified the other members by taking his bayonet and jabbing out the eyes of a dead Yankee. The campaign had pushed many of the men to the breaking point. Perhaps no other participant has been as effective and honest in telling this story. His account of the Battle of Franklin is particularly moving, and marked a point where, afterwards, if there had been any thought if winning the war, it ended there. After Franklin, surviving would replace winning as the final goal. Through this powerful memoir we see how one survivor dealt with his memories of both the best times and the worst time of his life. THIS BOOK IS IN MINT CONDITION Handsomely bound in brown-colored, textured covers with bright, impressed lettering on the cover and spine, this book is brand new, unread and in pristine condition. The book has no wear or shortcomings. It comes in the original dust jacket that is in excellent condition as well. The pages are clean and bright white; there isn’t a mark in the book.
