Yours Till Death,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Alabama-Coushatta Indians (Centennial Series of the Association of Former Students, Texas A&M University) (Hardcover)
Yours Till Death: Civil War Letters of John W. Cotton (Library of Alabama Classics)This book is a glimpse into the boredom and misery of the soldiers in that war, and probably like other wars. It is not easy to read due to the lack of grammar and punctuation in the text. It was published as the author wrote the letters home to his wife. After a few dozen pages the reader can begin to sort out the sentences and make some sense out of it, but some may get tired of trying before they get to that point. All that said, I still treasure the book due to the knowledge imparted of that tragic time when men tried to stop the invasion of their land by a government they could not abide. Buy it and take the time to read and understand...willie walker
