CONFEDERATE SCOUT-SNIPER THE CIVIL WAR MEMOIR OF BERRY BENSON EDITED BY SUSAN WILLIAMS BENSON FOREWORD BY HERMAN HATTAWAY FIRST EDITION MINT CONDITION This is a brand new, unread, pristine condition book. PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA PRESS, ATHENS, IN 1992 Confederate scout and sharpshooter Berry Greenwood Benson witnessed the first shot fired on Fort Sumter, retreated with Lee's Army to its surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, and missed little of the action in between. This straightforward memoir of his service is a remarkable narrative, filled with the minutiae of the soldier's life and paced by a continual succession of battlefield anecdotes. Three main stories emerge from Benson's account: his reconnaissance exploits, his experiences in battle, and his escape from prison.
