The Journal of James Edmond Pease: A Civil War Union Soldier

175 pp. | Scholastic | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-590-43814-X $$9.95
(3) 4-6 My Name Is America series. Sixteen-year-old James joins the Union Army and is asked by his commanding officer to keep a journal of his company's exploits. A more embellished version than was intended, his journal is a personal reaction to death and privation, to war and blood, to loss and anger, and a sad but moving testament to lost youth. Illustrated with sketches by the author, reproductions, and maps.
Reviewer: Mary M. Burns
