I find it difficult to believe that after 64 years of reading about the American Civil War, I started when I was 13, I just got around to this book. It was a delight to read. If you read it, don't forget to read the end notes. There was a lot of interesting stuff there too.

Elisha Rhodes was there from the beginning, at the first Battle of Bull Run, to the very end, at the Appomattox campaign.
