"Follow the story of the Civil War as it unfolds in the words of the people who lived through it. With records of daily events from January 1, 1861 to May 30, 1866, this fascinating chronicle includes illuminating background information on the population of America, its society and economics, the issue of states' rights, and even medical practices of the day. Here is a major contribution to the legacy and recorded history of the Civil War. "The voices of soldiers, sailors, and civilians, northerners and southerners, generals and privates, combine to create a distinctively American chorus." [Publishers Weekly]

"The book reads as if you were actually on the battlefields experiencing the day by day hardships of the common soldier...his fears, apprehensions, superstitions, "germ infested meals", daily drills, camp games, plus constant marching, marching, marching in all kinds of terrible weather......
It reads like a who's who of the army and government leadership...North and South...
Many of them appointed to a high rank which they did not deserve...especially when they were solely base on their governmental political contacts...
Each chronological day brings on a new set of adventures...you get caught up in what it was like to live and experience their continuing hardships through the diaries and letters of the participants...
I highly recommend this book to the hardcore Civil War buff...I found it to be very educational and fascinating reading..." [a private review]
