For Generations to come - Book 4 The diary and memories of a Civil War soldier - part 1

For Generations to come tells six different soldier's story. The Knauss family fought for the Union but there were other soldier's stories, the Confederate soldier's story, the doctor's story, the pastor's story, the women's story, and the black story. This American story also tells the Native American's story.Book 4 The diary and memories of a Civil War soldier - part 1 - 1800's young men enter the American Civil WarFrom the time he was in grade school, no one messed with David, or his best friend, Chunky. When the two boys wrestled, and if David had fought really hard, sometimes Chunky would let him win, but not always. Together the boys made fond childhood memories of playing in the barn, hiding in the hay, building forts in the big piles of animal feed.David and Chunky rode together on the same mule, named Henry, on the way to enlist. When they got there, all they had to do was turn him loose and swat him on the butt, then shout, "Henry, home" and the mule would find his way back to the barn. David and Chunky enlisted together in Company D.First, I think of the home-leaving. The sad thoughts of separating from dear ones and the comforts of home. To engage in the turmoil of war-for which I have no taste whatever. Why did I, with others, decide to enlist and join the 153rd regiment? It was in response to the call of my country in her great struggle. That call was stronger than the ties which bind us to our loved ones.
