THIRTEEN MONTHS IN THE REBEL ARMY 
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 demonstration of the South by an impressed New Yorker.

William G. Stevenson was a physician from Troy, New York  and a correspondent for the Memphis Avalanche covering the war in the South. He was impressed into service in the Second Tennessee Volunteers.

The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; was a civil war in the United States between the Union ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), which was formed in 1861 by states that had seceded from the Union. 

The book recounts the author's personal experiences and adventures while serving in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. It provides a unique perspective on the life of a soldier caught in the turmoil of rebellion, detailing the societal context and the various roles he undertook within the military services.

At the start of the narrative, the author describes his journey leading to his enforced enlistment in the Rebel army. After an eventful experience with a local vigilante committee that nearly cost him his life due to his Northern origins and perceived abolitionist leanings, he finds himself compelled to volunteer. From there, Stevenson introduces us to his regiment as they navigate the challenges of military life, including camp duties, battles, and encounters with both camaraderie and conflict within the ranks, as he grapples with internal conflict regarding his allegiance and the implications of serving in a cause he does not support.
