Description
"In Jones Wister’s Reminiscences, the fourth son of Sarah Logan Fisher Wister and William Wister relates how he joined the Army of the Potomac on June 19, 1864, the day after Abraham Lincoln called for one hundred thousand men to defend Pennsylvania as the Southern army crossed the Potomac River. In his memoirs, Jones writes extensively about his brothers’ military service but does not speak much about his own." --Jen Merritt
