Sinopsis

Written by Captain Arthur Fremantle,áof the Coldstream Guards, upon hisáreturn to England from his three-month stay (April 2 until July 16, 1863) in the Confederate Statesáof America.A very interesting and detailed account of the officerâÇÖs time witháthe Confederate forces of the South, Fremantle was a notable British witness to The Battle of Gettysburg, one of the bloodiest battles duringáthe American Civil War. This is an important account that was a best seller when published in 1864, in both the North and South.Contrary to popular belief, Fremantle was not an official representative of the United Kingdom, instead, he was something of a war tourist.
