From Booklist
This presentation of Vermont's participation in the Civil War is an updated example of the state-oriented Civil War volumes that flourished a century ago. That participation was extensive, involving more than 34,000 Vermonters, 5,000 of whom did not return. A gifted amateur historian, Coffin provides ample material on the Vermont background of the men who went to war, and vivid, readable accounts of their presence in virtually every major battle in the eastern theater. He also covers Vermonters who became POWs and those at home who had the novel experience of being raided by Confederate guerrillas operating across the Canadian border. A sound and valuable addition to Civil War and regional history collections. Roland Green
