King","description":"\u003cp\u003e8-page b\/w photo section  6 x 9  Gives a new perspective of the battle of Chickamauga  Includes account of the little-known Nickojack Massacre  In 1862 John M. King joined the 92nd Illinois Mounted Infantry. During his service for the Union he traveled 15 000 miles and participated in 33 engagements. A newspaper owner and editor  he naturally recorded his experiences using an inquisitive  often wry style. Throughout he registered the comic along with the tragic: his drunken commanders  the infighting among his comrades  and the often unjust disparities between officers and soldiers. This uncommonly literate diary  meticulously edited  is a hidden gem that will appeal to anyone who has ever taken an interest in the Civil War.
