Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Augustus Meyers was a writer and former soldier whose firsthand account of military life offers valuable insight into a transformative period in American history. Born in 1841 in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Meyers immigrated to the United States and later enlisted in the U.S. Army at a young age. His most notable work, Ten Years in the Ranks, U.S. Army, recounts his experiences during both frontier service and the Civil War, capturing the discipline, challenges, and routines of enlisted life. His detailed recollections shed light on lesser-known military customs and daily practices, providing historians and readers with a rare view into 19th-century army structure and culture. Meyers focused less on large-scale battles and more on the lived realities of soldiers - offering observations on camaraderie, hardship, training, and the institutional nature of military service. His writing is valued not only for its historical accuracy but also for its personal tone and careful attention to detail. He died in 1919 in New York, leaving behind a work that remains a respected contribution to American military literature.
