A very  good read is The Rebel Yell & The Yankee Hurrah,the Civil War Journal 
of a  Maine Volunteer,by private John W.Hale, 17th Maine Regiment.It follows 
him  from the time he joins up at Camp King,Cape Elizabeth,Maine, August 
1862,until  he is mustered out in June 1865.If you don't already have it,I think 
you can  still find a copy.The one I have is 1985 copyright & I found it with  
Barnes & Nobel in their used books.I found it very interesting as its from  a 
privates view, which is altogether different from a  generals.
 
Yes, a quite enjoyable and informative read.
