| 520 | _a"Reminiscences of a Confederate Soldier of Co. C, 2nd Va. Cavalry" by Rufus H. Peck is a historical account written in the early 20th century that reflects on the experiences of a soldier during the American Civil War. The narrative follows the author, who enlisted at a young age, as he recounts noteworthy events from his time as part of the Confederate cavalry, including battles and moments of camaraderie with fellow soldiers. Peck’s vivid recollections provide a personal glimpse into the war’s stark realities and the emotional toll it took on him and his comrades. The opening of the memoir establishes Peck's background and the context of his enlistment, detailing his enlistment with "The Botetourt Dragoons" while drawing on his sharp memories from the battlefields of 1861. He recalls the dramatic atmosphere surrounding their departure from Fincastle, the excitement of marching towards confrontation, and early interactions with local citizens that reveal a sense of community amidst the ongoing conflict. As he describes specific encounters, such as humorous incidents during their march and the poignant moments of saying goodbye to family, readers get an authentic sense of the soldier's life, marked by camaraderie, danger, and the ever-present tensions of war.
