Thoughts on the Common Soldier
Reminiscences of Camp Cheatham, 1861:

A private soldier is but an automaton, a machine that works by the command of a good, bad, or indifferent engineer, and is presumed to know nothing of all these great events. His business is to load and shoot, stand picket, videt, etc., while the officers sleep, or perhaps die on the field of battle and glory, and his obituary and epitaph but "one" remembered among the slain, but to what company, regiment, brigade or corps he belongs, there is no account; he is soon forgotten. (p. 22)

Thanks...MUD

Thanks for recognizing the bravery of Southern Soldiers. While many damnYankees are of the idea Confederates fought only for slavery, Sam Watkins didn't even own a slave, he like many other Southern men went off to war to fight for his country, his freedom, for what he believed in. Its too bad many Americans don't hold to those values anymore, nor do other countries, like Canada and France, Germany and a few other of "our friends". "Let someone else do the dying" they say, "we don't want to go to war"! No sane man takes joy at the thought of war, but when war is forced upon us, brave souls of stout heart have the courage to stand up and be counted. I feel justifiably proud to acknowledge that I am of Southern descent! I am proud of my country and its beliefs which the Founders gave to us. And of the one precious commodity which I and many other veterans fought for ... FREEDOM.

If you would ping some of the foxhole crowd to Next Time You See a Man or Woman in (Military) Uniform, Say "Thank You", I would greatly appreciate it. I think it is an excellent essay from a very good friend.
