Thompson is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book compiles experiences from the author’s time serving in the Third Iowa Regiment during the Civil War, primarily based on a diary kept during his service. It offers a firsthand look at military life, the camaraderie among soldiers, and the psychological and physical challenges they faced.  At the start of the narrative, the author outlines the enthusiastic enlistment of men from Iowa into the Union Army during the Civil War. He details the formation of the Third Iowa Regiment and the diversity of its members, highlighting their motivations for joining the fight to preserve the Union. The opening then transitions into a description of their early experiences in camp, characterized by a mixture of excitement and discontent, as they cope with military discipline, inadequate provisions, and the stark realities of preparing for combat. Thompson captures the initial fervor of military life, setting the stage for the challenges and adventures that lie ahead in his service.
