3.0 out of 5 stars
Rather mundane,
By Dr. Dave in Fresno "David Paul Davenport" (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Three Years in the Army of the Cumberland: The Letters and Diary of Major James A. Connolly (Civil War Centennial Series) (Paperback)
I purchased this believing I would learn a great deal about Wilder's Lightning Brigade because the 123rd Illinois was one of the four regiments in this brigade. Unfortunately, Major Connolly's letters to his wife included little about any military matters because he was afraid his letters might be intercepted and read by the Rebels and in September 1863 he transferred to the position of inspector for the Division commanded by General Baird, so his diary contains boring administrative stuff. Also, the "editor" of the book, Paul Angle, added nothing in the form of explanatory footnotes to overcome these profound weaknesses. I really question why Indiana University Press decided to publish this book.
