$3.00Buy NowLeander Stillwell was typical of thousands of Northern boys who answered President Lincoln’s call for volunteers. In January 1862, only a few months past his 18th birthday, and only after he and his father had sowed the wheat, gathered the corn and cut the winter firewood, Stillwell left his family’s log cabin in the Jersey County backwoods of western Illinois and enlisted in Company D of the 61st Illinois Infantry Regiment. For three and a half years he served in the Western theater of operations as a noncommissioned officer before being mustered out as a lieutenant in September 1865. His first—and biggest—battle, Shiloh, was the one he remembered most vividly. He also took part in skirmishes in Tennessee and Arkansas, as well as the Siege of Vicksburg. In The Story of a Common Soldier Stillwell tells of his Army experiences, as critic H. L. Mencken observed admiringly in a review, “in plain, straightforward American, naked and unashamed, without any of the customary strutting and bawling.” Small for his age and given to taking solitary walks in the woods beyond the picket lines, Stillwell was nevertheless an enthusiastic and obedient soldier. “Just a little mortifying,” was Stillwell’s reaction when his regiment missed two battles because it had been left to guard a town in Tennessee. But, he hastened to add, “the common soldier can only obey orders, and stay where he is put, and doubtless it was all for the best.”

About the book: Benjamin Franklin excelled in the roles of diplomat, postmaster, political theorist, scientist, satirist, and musician, and yet we still know so little about his life. Fellow Philadelphian George Fisher wrote this biography in 1898—illustrated here with black and white images throughout—and it depicts a Ben Franklin not seen in other portraits of the man. Following him from his boyhood, when he first wrote articles for his brother’s Boston paper, to his years as a statesman and inventor, Fisher also deals with Franklin’s political intrigues with the British and French, as well as his illegitimate children, offering a unique perspective of this most fascinating American figure. -
