"Galloping Thunder" is as comprehensive a history as any student of the Civil War could hope for, covering both the excitement of the battlefield and the mundane, everyday workings of the battalion as it marched and camped. The author also focuses on the individual personalities of the men who made up the battalion, quoting from hundreds of letters and journals. This book will allow readers to actually "see the humanity of the men," by providing a deep and thorough understanding of the soldiers' passions and motivations. The sheer volume and thoroughly researched facts of Galloping Thunder will make thisthe most significant work on this subject ever published.
