Description
Here, in The Badge of Gallantry, Joseph Mitchell has selected the most revealing portions of this historic collection. He has linked them together in a superb narrative and commentary which form a memorable reading experience. Together, letters and text bring to life the battle experiences of both white and black officers and enlisted men, army and navy, those eager to fight and those who deplored fighting. Offering rare insights into the human side of war, The Badge of Gallantry is a distinguished contribution to the literature and history of the Civil War. - from Amzon
