The research so obviously on display on virtually every page of his scholarship commingling with fine narrative skill, deserves special praise”—ARGunners Magazine “Abel delivers a balanced narrative about a single company and its combat experience during America’s tumultuous internal conflict. ... Abel’s study makes a solid contribution to the growing literature centered on the soldier experience during the Civil War.”—Emerging Civil War “I am happy to recommend Donald W. Abel Jr’s Boy General of the 11th Alabama: John C.C. Sanders and Company C in the Civil War. Abel has done a massive amount of research into the development and role that Company C played in the 11th Alabama Regiment. He has relied extensively upon the extant primary sources, some of which he personally ‘tracked down’ in his painstaking research into the lives of the men who fought in Company C. This work is a significant contribution in the continued study of the 11th Alabama Infantry, and one I can wholeheartedly recommend.”—Dr. Ron Griffin, instructor in the Ministry Training Institute, Samford University; author of The 11th Alabama Volunteer Regiment in the Civil War Author InformationDonald W. Abel, Jr., is a retired financial industry executive living in Nashville, Tennessee. His great-great grandfather was a member of Company C.
