A Union Soldier At War - 1861-1863 - The Illustrated Edition - Military History from Primary Sources

Composed more than 50 years after the war, Leander Stillwell's classic "The Story Of A Common Soldier' remains as fascinating and insightful as ever. Based on the letters he sent home and the diary that he kept, the story follows his regiment "every mile of it's way" from St. Lois to Shiloh to the Vicksburg campaign all the way to the battles of Franklin and Nashville to the destruction of the Army of Tennessee.
This brand new edition comes complete with photographs and illustrations of the battles and personnel that played such vital roles in the war and Stillwell's own personal journey from that of a 'Common Soldier' to First Lieutenant.
