Billings, a veteran of the 10th Massachusetts Volunteer Light Artillery Battery in the American Civil War.

It covers the details of regular soldier life, including enlisting, how soldiers were sheltered, Army rations, offenses and punishments, a day in camp, boxes from home, foraging , the army mule, hospitals and ambulances, clothing, breaking camp and marching, and other similar topics.
