Large Octavo. 499pp. From the Library Journal review: In this exhaustive

Large Octavo. 499pp. From the Library Journal review: In this exhaustive study of one of the Civil War's most famous combat organizations (Company B, 19th Indiana Volunteers of the Iron Brigade), Gaff (If This Is War, Morningside, 1991) follows Company B from its organization through all the battles in which it participated until Appomattox. The author gives some of the best descriptions of the daily life of a Civil War soldier that can be found anywhere. He expertly portrays camp life, the feelings of soldiers during battle, the handling of deserters, home life as it affected the soldiers, hospitals, prison camps, and politics. His book gives an excellent picture of the common soldier and why he was willing to undergo all of the horrors of war for his beliefs. Recommended for all Civil War collections. Small soiled spot on bottom edge of text block, not affecting page surfaces.
