About the author

Isaac Hermann (1838–1917) is known for Memoirs of a Veteran Who Served as a Private in the 60's in the War Between the States, a firsthand account of his experiences in the American Civil War. Project Gutenberg identifies the work as a memoir by Isaac Hermann, and the book presents him as a veteran who served in multiple branches of the Confederate Army.

The memoir was published in the early 20th century and is remembered for its personal tone, mixing observation, anecdote, and recollection rather than formal military history. That makes his writing especially useful for listeners who enjoy eyewitness narratives and the everyday texture of the past.
