"A Tale of the Rebellion. Facts and Figures From the Standpoint of a Departmental-clerk" offers a unique perspective on the American Civil War through the eyes of a government clerk. Published in 1867, this account provides firsthand observations and insights into the daily realities and broader context of the war. This historical narrative captures the experiences and reflections of an individual deeply embedded within the bureaucratic machinery of the Union government during a period of profound national upheaval.
Alanson Penfield's work stands as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the social, political, and administrative aspects of the war beyond the battlefield. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the American Civil War from an alternative and rarely explored viewpoint.
