His Experience and What he saw during the War 1861 – 1865

This is a well-written history of the “F” Company, 21^st Regiment Virginia Infantry, a company from Richmond. They were part of the Second Brigade, General “Stonewall” Jackson’s Division, Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia.

The author, John Worsham, enlisted on April 21, 1861, as a private. He was promoted to adjutant on September 12, 1864. His wounds at the Battle of Winchester a week later left him permanently disabled.

Worsham wrote an account of the battles and marches of his regiment. Many sections are very detailed—perfect for my research! I was researching this regiment for Boulevard of Confusion, Book 2 of my “Spies of the Civil Series” and was able to include some important details in my story from a soldier who lived it.

Worsham was in Richmond when it fell and described his despair.

Included in this book are details of each soldier in Company “F”, wonderful information for folks researching their family history.

Recommended for readers of Civil War history and for lovers of American history.
