I truly believe that you will enjoy reading this unique book on the American Civil War. It is written through the eyes of one individual soldier of the Louisiana 17th Infantry Regiment. It is not written from the commanding officers’ viewpoints, but from the common combatant. You will experience camp life, death in all forms, and battle for places like Shiloh, Corinth, Chickasaw Bluffs, Port Gibson, and Vicksburg. In the appendix, you may find the name of your ancestor as an enlistee or on the list of the dead.
