"Camp, Court and Siege…" is the memoir of personal adventure and observation during two wars in the late 19th century, by American diplomat, Wickham Hoffman. Hoffman served as a Union soldier during the American Civil War. He was later appointed, among other duties, the Secretary of Legation at the American Embassy in France.
