Disappointing,
By Roll Tide "jacksonta5" (Caledonia, MS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: History of the Fourteenth Regiment Alabama Volunteers (Hardcover)
I ordered this book with the hopes that it would be a detailed history of the 14th Alabama. I received it and was immediately disappointed. The book is 115 pages (+/-) and conatins very little history. The muster rolls are all available on the internet. Pages 38-115 contain photos. The right page contains a single photo approximately 2x3 inches. The left page contains a one to two line location/explanation of the photo. No mention is made of the 14th's involvement in the photos. A real waste of paper putting only one photo per page and using a whole page for a description. A waste of money overall in my opinion.

Disappointing!!,
By Roll Tide "jacksonta5" (Caledonia, MS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: History of the Fourteenth Regiment Alabama Volunteers (Hardcover)
Just received my book and read it in about 15-20 minutes. There is very little in the way of historical facts in the book. It contains mostly pictures that don't indicate the 14th Alabama was a part of the photo displayed. The only way this book contains 115 pages is because of the way they stretched out the photo section. The right page contains a single picture of roughly 2x3 inch. The left page contains a very brief description (one to two lines)of the photo. This method took up pages 38-115. The list of names on the muster rolls in the book can all be found on websites making this book, in my opinion, pretty much a waste of money.
