"""Lieutenant Edward Granger was a sharp observer and an eloquent writer, and his letters home document, in thrilling detail, some of the hardest fighting of the Civil War, from Gettysburg to Trevilian Station and beyond. Combined with Sandy Barnard's excellent and fulsome commentary, this is a valuable and entertaining addition to the literature of the war.""--James Donovan, author of A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn--The Last Great Battle of the American West ""This collection of letters from an officer on Custer's staff during the Civil War provides what good primary sources do: it humanizes the Boy General by showing his boyish side through pranks and mishaps while establishing the regard in which he was held for his inspiring leadership. Sandy Barnard's expert editing adds the context necessary to fully appreciate Lieutenant Edward G. Granger and a correspondence made poignant by his own untimely death in battle.""--Brian W. Dippie, author of Custer's Last Stand: The Anatomy of an American Myth"
