Having graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education with a major in History, the Civil War captured my interest specifically. Having read over 100 books and historical accounts pertaining to the men and battles has given me a better appreciation for these men.

Book Details
This book is about the soldiers who fought and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for a cause they believed. In this book I have attempted to give the reader some insight into where these soldiers came from, what units they served in, the battles their regiments were involved in throughout the war, if the soldier survived the war, if the soldier was ever wounded in battle or in the hospital for any illness, and what occupation they held prior to and following the war. These were just men of ordinary means, not plantation owners, or men of wealth. Various records at libraries, census reports, military service records, birth records, marriage records, and burial records are all examples of information used while composing this history. Though these men fought for a lost cause, their actions are for no single man to judge. Only when a man meets The Almighty God can the morality of his actions in life be determined and be judged accordingly. The information in the book is factual and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
