<p>All Quiet on the Yamhill, the journal of Corporal Royal A. Bensell, tells the story of a company of California volunteers who enlisted to fight for the Union in the Civil War - only to be sent to Oregon to guard harmless Indians.

But Corporal Bensell, no ordinary soldier, had a highly critical mind and a deep sense of the absurdity of the situation in which he and his fellow volunteers found themselves. In his journal, the dull routine of garrison life far from the realities of war becomes an absorbing tale of human frustration.</p>
