The book follows his activities from his entrance into this country through the port of New Orleans till his death in Memphis after the war.Included in this book are De Aragon's activities where they have been documented, excerpts from letters he wrote to his wife during the war, and the movements of the units in which he served, giving an overview of each battle.
