5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable Reading, December 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: IRON MEN, IRON WILL: The Nineteenth Indiana Regiment of the Iron Brigade (Hardcover)

This book was simply a pleasure to read. While it was well documented, the documentation did not grind the book to a halt. I would consider this more as an anecdotal history rather than a military history. The author puts a human face on a serious topic. I have now read all of the books in print on the Iron Brigade and the Nineteenth Indiana Volunteers and this one is the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Nineteenth Indiana Book, February 15, 2001

This review is from: Iron Men, Iron Will: The Nineteenth Indiana Regiment of the Iron Brigade (Paperback)

What a great book on the Nineteenth Indiana Volunteers of the Iron Brigade. The book was maticulously researched and documented. The best part about the book was that the documentation did not detract from the enjoyable reading. The pictures and roster were very helpful. I have personally read over 200 Civil War regimental histories and this one was my favorite. I have read two other books on the Nineteenth Indiana and found them to be lacking in documentation and in ease of reading. This book is the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best History of the 19th Indiana, December 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: IRON MEN, IRON WILL: The Nineteenth Indiana Regiment of the Iron Brigade (Hardcover)

As an ardent student of history I found this book to be wonderfully documented and accurate. I have read all of the books about the 19th Indiana and the Iron Brigade and found this one to be the best by far. I was so intrigued with the book that I visited the critical archives and libraries cited in Mr. Dunn's book to verify their accuracy. Each entry which I checked was quoted exactly as I found them. I have heard through some Civil War circles that there has been an attempt to impugn this book in an attempt to increase sales of the other 19th Indiana books. If so, this is sad. I have recommended this book to all of my friends.
