| Summary | "Reminiscences of a Soldier of the Orphan Brigade" by Lot D. Young is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the personal experiences and recollections of a Confederate soldier who served in the Orphan Brigade during the Civil War. Through vivid storytelling, the author aims to capture the trials, tribulations, and camaraderie of soldiers while also serving as a tribute to the bravery of those who fought for the Confederate cause. At the start of the narrative, Young dedicates his memories to the younger generation of soldiers engaged in World War I, drawing parallels between their sacrifices and his own. He reflects on his journey from a naive young recruit in Kentucky to a battle-hardened veteran, sharing poignant stories of his enlistment, the friendships forged in the trenches, and the emotional farewells to loved ones. The opening sets a deeply personal tone, inviting readers to empathize with Young's sentiments about war, loss, and the evolving spirit of patriotism, as he describes the harrowing realities of battle and the enduring legacy of his comrades in arms.
