Thirteen Months in the Rebel Army: Being a Narrative of Personal Adventures in the Infantry, Ordnance, Cavalry, Courier, and Hospital Services; with an Exhibition of the Power, Purposes, Earnestness, Military Despotism, and Demoralization of the South

Thirteen Months in the Rebel Army, published in 1862 by William G. Stevenson, is a personal narrative detailing the author's experiences as a soldier in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. Stevenson recounts his enforced enlistment, the challenges of military life, and his internal conflict regarding his allegiance to a cause he does not support. This account provides a unique perspective on the societal context of the time and the complexities of serving in a military that he fundamentally disagrees with, making it a significant contribution to Civil War literature.
