520			_a"A Raw Recruit's War Experiences" by Ansel D. Nickerson is a personal account of the author's experiences as a soldier in the Eleventh Rhode Island Volunteers during the American Civil War, written in the late 19th century. This historical account provides insight into the life of a "raw recruit," detailing both the humorous and serious aspects of military life during a tumultuous period in U.S. history. The book likely spans the time from the early 1860s to around the late 1880s, reflecting on the Civil War and its aftermath, focusing on themes of duty, camaraderie, and the human experience of warfare. In this engaging recounting, Nickerson shares anecdotes from his enlistment through his various assignments, including camp life, drills, and the emotional toll of witnessing the consequences of war. He describes the camaraderie, levity, and hardships faced by soldiers, contrasting the romanticized notions of heroism with the stark reality of military duty. From the burdensome knapsacks filled with personal items to humorous mishaps during drills, the memoir captures the essence of a soldier's life, blending laughter and sorrow. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of patriotism and the sacrifices made by those who served, along with a heartfelt reflection on what it meant to be part of the war effort during such a critical time in American history.
