Review
Band Of Brothers tells the story of the "Southern Confederates", one of the most well educated, zealously religious and unbelievably gallant group of men to engage in the American Civil War. An immortal "band of brothers", their trials of being wounded prisoner of war, sham battles, a prayer meeting in the trenches, sleeping while marching, sleeping during a skirmish, and throwing lighted turpentine balls into the enemy's camps are recounted, and much, much more! An educator who joined the war to watch over his young students, Captain James I. Hall's reminiscences and letters are present in full. Also included is C. B. Simonton's detailed account of the organization of the unit, including the exact speeches at the presentation and acceptance of their first flag. The battles of Columbus, Perryville, Atlanta, and others are all faithfully chronicled. No Civil War studies library can be considered complete without the addition of James Fleming's Band Of Brothers. Send for the free White Mane catalog for a complete listing of their Civil War titles. -- Midwest Book Review
