5.0 out of 5 stars McNeill's Rangers great study in Border Warfare, June 5, 2009

This review is from: McNeill's Rangers (The Virginia regimental history series) (Hardcover)

The Virginia Regimental Series has done so much to document units which were the passion and valor of the Confederacy. McNeill's Rangers has an extra dash of the grassroots intensity which enabled the CSA to continue their fight for so long. Roger Delauter has done a masterful job of bringing John Hanson McNeill and his troops alive. Living along the South Branch of the Potomac like McNeill, the story has special romance for me, but dedicated students of all facets of the history of the Epoch Struggle should spend some time understanding those who "stayed home" but contributed so much as did McNeill.

3.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Read" for Civil War Buffs, February 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: McNeill's Rangers (The Virginia regimental history series) (Hardcover)

Long ignored in getting due credit for their role in assisting the CSA in its efforts during the Civil War, "McNeill's Rangers" helps right that wrong. The author, Roger Delauter, has painstakingly researched the volumes of records and has transcribed a detailed description of this group of hard-drinking, hard-fighting partisans. But, Delauter's book is only a beginning as its well-documented bibliographies lead the reader to go from book to book, story to story and, eventually, provide a desire to visit the places where these events took place.

Excellent book on an outstanding group of Rangers. This will be a basis for a book I am writing. Easy to read and comprehensive.
