Beskrivelse af Campaigns of a Non-Combatant
George Alfred Townsend was a special war correspondent for the Philadelphia Press and New York Herald during the Civil War. He followed McClellan's Army of the Potomac and Pope's Army of Virginia in the spring and summer of 1862, filing dozens of dispatches to his editors. Finally, after suffering from the effects of 'swamp fever, ' he took a two-year break in Europe, where he lectured about his experiences. Townsend returned to the war front in 1865 and - assuming the pen name of "GATH" - was the first correspondent to describe the war's climax at Five Forks. He released his memoir in 1866, detailing his personal experiences and recollections of the Civil War and those dramatic days.
