The story of the American Civil War is best told by those who lived it and endured the hardships, heartaches, and sacrifices on the battlefield and throughout long, hard-fought campaigns. Bvt.

Cross Keys, 1862."The deafening roar of musketry and the wiz of grape and canister. The crushing of timber by the dread missiles mingled with the unearthly yells of opposing forces and the moaning of the dying and the screams of the wounded. Oh God, how terrible is war..."-Sgt. T.J. EvansGettysburg, 1863. " under the cover of smoke, the rebels made a desperate charge and succeeded in gaining the very crest of the hill (Cemetery Hill). Among the batteries the fighting was hand-to-hand."-Lt. E. C. CulpHoney Hill, 1864. "A tremendous roar of musketry had commenced along the line, but we steadily advanced, right into the tangled wall of vines and briers, which clung to us as we tore our way through them."-Cpl. Samuel Wildman

This review is from: Raising the Banner of Freedom: The 25th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the War for the Union (Paperback)

I found the book to be informative and filled in some blanks that existed in the family history. I have 2 cousins that served in the 25th and the book gave some insight into the campaigns. The alphbetical listing of soldiers along with their service is quite complete. A good book if you had someone that served in the Civil war and a good reference for those who had relatives that actually served in the 25th.
