Content
A private who served in the 5th Ky. Inf. and the 2nd Ky. Cav., Franz A. Brohm wrote a post-war memoir that describes his participation in all the major campaigns of the Army of the Cumberland (1861-1864) from the opening of the war in Kentucky to the battle of Nashville. He also describes his subsequent cavalry service during Sherman's march through the Carolinas (1865). In addition to major battle accounts, the memoir provides glimpses of soldier's life as well as slavery in North Carolina.
