Good read; better than many diaries

Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 1998-08-27

John Haley went to war with a Maine infantry regiment and wrote down his experiences in this book. Overall, the book is an interesting account of one average soldier in the biggest war America has ever seen. Many tidbits of information are tossed out making the reader re-read them again. One such piece is a reference to a Confederate sharpshooter who was killing many Union soldiers. The person is finally killed and he turns out to be a BLACK man. This book is good for Civil War buffs, for those wanting a "feel" of what it was like to fight for the Union, and those who think that no blacks fought for the Confederacy.

for a Maine volunteer and army private John Haley was incredibally articulate. He had a wry wit and sharp sense of humour. He paints a vivid picture of day to day life in the field. Haley has a self depreciating manner that lends credibility to his accounts as you don't feel he is embellishing in order to elevate his own status. I really felt this was an honest account of the hardships of the war as well as the mundania. If you love civil war history or like myself have a fondness for Maine history you should put this journal at the front of your list.

Since I am not really old enough to remember the '85 season this book provides provides an opportunity to learn more about that year. It is a fascinating read for any baseball fan, but especially Cards fans.

More Like a Docu-drama than Non-fiction

Helpful Votes: 2 out of 13 total.
Review Date: 2002-11-08

Buy this book and you will have something in common with Confederate General John Bell Hood. You will both be victims of author Wiley Sword. The defenseless Hood is villianized by Sword's vicious, albeit eloquently written spin. Hood's critics are given top billing in Sword's pages, while Hood's many defenders are silenced. Statistics are twisted to make Hood's performance appear remarkably poor. Sword's fact-filtering, and cut-and-paste journalism will unfortunately impress the unwitting reader, who will be sixty bucks poorer, and totally misinformed on the 1864 Confederate campaign to liberate Nashville. John Bell Hood has been described as the Civil War's most "famously unfortunate" commander. Much more accurate and complete information on the campaign can be found within the pages of Shrouds of Glory, by Winston Groom, who doesn't try to create a villian where none existed.

Without a doubt the best contemporary, secondary source on the Middle Tennessee Campaign. Wiley Sword writes a splendid military history that reads like a novel.The book is written with excellent prose and an obvious love for the topic.Also of great use to the historian is that the book is well documented with the best use of primary material that one will find in a book of this genre. The use of manuscript material further embellishes this fine book. I highly recommend this book to all those interested in Civil War history!

One of the best on the cival war in the west.

The book covers Franklin and Nashville better than any other book of the war. It shows the weakness of the Southern cause by this stage of the war and the weakness of General Hood. The book also show the courage of the Southern soilder and the men who led them.

In short, this is possibly the finest book regarding Hood's Nashville campaign. While some reviewers have taken issue with Sword's opinion of Hood's leadership, it should be noted that Robert E. Lee and William Tecumseh Sherman shared Sword's opinion of Hood's leadership qualities.

Read this book to learn more about Patrick Cleburne, a man of greater ability, integrity and possibly devotion to the Southern cause than the man who sent him to his death.

Read this book to learn about the greatest charge of the Confederacy. The charge(s) at Franklin were greater in size, scope and ferocity than the fabled charge of Pickett at Gettysburg. And in some ways, filled with a more poignant courage. At Gettysburg, there was a still a chance perhaps for victory....at Franklin, there was only the chance of regaining a measure of pride for men who gave all they had for the noblest ideas of Southern Independence.
