At the start of this memoir, Tyler shares his initial enlistment in the military following the attack on Fort Sumter, detailing his early experiences in training at Camp Douglas, Chicago. He introduces readers to fellow comrades and notes the humorous mishaps that occurred during their drills, as well as poignant moments such as his farewells to family before heading to active duty.
