Summary "An Artilleryman's Diary" by Jenkins Lloyd Jones is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work presents a firsthand narrative of the experiences of a soldier serving in the 6th Wisconsin Battery during the American Civil War. The diary provides insights into the daily life, thoughts, and emotions of an artillery private, detailing significant events and the broader military campaigns of the era. The opening of the diary introduces Jenkins Lloyd Jones as he embarks on his military journey, leaving his home and family behind to serve in the war. He records his impressions and experiences from his enlistment and early training at Camp Randall in Wisconsin through his travels down the Mississippi River and encounters with the Union Army. The initial entries capture a mix of anticipation, homesickness, and the stark contrasts between civilian life and the rigors of military service, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the personal and historical context of his time as a soldier.
