Unlike most Civil War memoirs, As If It Were Glory does not romanticize the war--it recognizes the valor of the troops, but also the suffering and brutality of war. At the time of these writings, the war had already ended, and Robert Beecham reflects on what he did and the outcome of the war with an honest and intelligent eye. Beecham was also leader of a newly raised African-American unit, which he calls the best and bravest soldiers that ever lived.
