Reminiscences of My Life in Camp: An African American Woman's Civil War Memoir by Susie King Taylor

3.0

2.5 stars, rounded up almost entirely for Chapter 13. I just don't understand how parts of this were so stunning while huge sections of it were so boring. It might have to do with the fact that I've never been interested in military history, but I really didn't expect most of this to be so dry.

This was required reading for my Emancipation and the Afterlife of Slavery class.
