I loved the performance of the narrator, his voice did well conveying especially emotional points of the story. The writings itself I believe are a solid glimpse into the author’s experience of the war, touching on a couple important battles and containing some often overlooked details by other authors on the Civil War. That said, I often felt jostled by how the author occasionally jumped to a new setting without bridging us from the previous experience, it felt there were some gaps. Of course real life recollections can be very much like this and taking everything into consideration, it was a good recounting of his experience and I consider these stories a national treasure and I do recommend the listen.
