In my opinion, it's not of great use. Written entirely by a descendant, the document includes supposed conversations and statements from the wartime experiences of AMC. For example:

Their regiment, the 11th Alabama Infantry, was with the last of General Joseph Johnston's divisions to arrive here from Winchester. now They,d marched 25 miles to Piedmnont, where they boarded this train for the rest of the way. They had been told there was a big fight waiting for them on the other side of Bull Run Creek, just 25 miles from Washington. A Yankee army force had crossed the Potomac, and invaded Virginia! Monroe fell into his line, and they formed columns of fours with the other companies of their Fifth Brigade, and officers ordered them to move out, and urged them to quicken their pace. Look alive, men! We need to get there in a hurry, if we are gona get to help whip those Yankees!
