Men and Things I Saw in Civil War Days (Abridged, Annotated)

James Fowler Rusling

4.9/5 (14135 ratings)

Description:The great appeal in James Rusling’s memoir of the American Civil War is not his analysis or judgments about any aspect of the war itself or of the men whom he profiles in these pages. The appeal is in the anecdotes he shares about several of the greatest generals with whom he served, as well as short sketches of his interactions with Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. Rusling is mostly quite fawning of the men he served under (except McClellan, Burnside, and Hooker) but he nevertheless offers unique and truly interesting stories of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, and others. General Rusling was a professor of Natural Sciences and Belles Lettres at Dickinson Seminary from 1854-57. He read law and was admitted to the Pennsylvania and New Jersey bars. In 1869, President Grant appointed Rusling as United States Pension Agent for New Jersey, which he served until 1877. “I do not believe a man ever stood guard in front of the enemy at night,” said General Sherman on one occasion, or passed through the crash of battle, without in a measure its telling upon his physical system. Nor did any man ever carry a knapsack, haversack, gun, and ammunition on those long marches, sleeping on the ground at night, exposed to all kinds of weather, living upon hardtack and other army fare, without injury to him. It may not show its effects in ten years or twenty years, but the results are sure to come.”—William Tecumseh Sherman Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
