MEADVILLE, Pa., April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Osborne Wilson's Civil War Diaries": a heart-rending account of a true soldier and the several battles of his lifetime. "Osborne Wilson's Civil War Diaries" is the creation of published author George O. Wilson, Jr., a great-grandson of Osborne Wilson, the Civil War veteran who kept a daily diary of the whole Civil War. George acquired a master's degree in elementary education from Madison College, Harrisonbug, Virginia, and taught sixth grade in Rockingham schools for 41 years. He retired in 2007, but remains active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and stays busy with gardening, genealogy, and square dancing.
Wilson, Jr. shares, "Osborne joined the Confederate Army in the spring of 1861. He had no idea what he was getting into. Before he was captured in April 1865, he had been in numerous battles. In his diaries, he constantly complained about the miles and miles of marching through the countryside. He and his fellow soldiers seldom had enough food or supplies. He helped scour battlefields after the fighting, searching for food, weapons, ammunition, and supplies. Letter writing was an everyday occurrence. Often his poor health required him to help guard the ammunition train or aid with the sick and wounded in various hospitals. Some of his writings about fighting, especially at Antietam and Gettysburg, make us wonder how any of the soldiers survived the war."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, George O. Wilson, Jr.'s new book is a much closer perspective from a soldier's voice around one of the events that made history. Written through the years, this warrior's story will inspire and touch people's hearts.
