Well-conceived and well-written, this volume's greatest value lies in its rich portrayal of how an army of civilian volunteers lived, fought, and died--real men with all the virtues and failings of real men. It is a great resource for understanding the realities of the Civil War. North & South Lowry has taken the genre of the historical underside to its proper scholarly limits; he has coupled the lurid and the weird with excellent research and analysis. Civil War Times
