The Life of a Civil War Soldier!

The Life of a Civil War soldier
Have you ever wondered what the life of a Civil War soldier was like?  My life of a Civil War soldier is very hard and boring I have to march to camp to camp and camp life is boring I didn’t get to see any action for nearly a year my feet skin peeled off like the layers of an onion from walking. I entertain myself  by  playing cards,baseball,reading books,and hunting. When I am walking I have to carry a lot of stuff I usually just carry a rifle and cartridges. Cartridges are made of paper and had bullets and gunpowder in them.  My life is miserable I have to walk threw sticky mud carrying a heavy backpack I get bit up by flies and mosquitoes. It got very hot in the  Summer and I wore heavy uniforms. In the Winter it is very cold and rainy and sometimes snows. It gets so cold that I have to tie to tents together and sleep with a fellow soldier this keeps me warm. A Lot of soldiers  died from sickness. More soldiers died from sickness then being wounded on the battlefield.I might not survive but I hope I win the War!  Do you think I will win the war?
