- Summary:
- Offering a host of diverse perspectives, The Civil War Soldier is the perfect introduction to this epic conflict, for the student, the historian, and the Civil War enthusiast alike. It features, under one cover, the most distinguished historians and writers on the Civil War.
- In 1943, Bell Wiley's groundbreaking book Johnny Reb launched a new area of study: the history of the common soldier in the U.S. Civil War. This anthology brings together in one landmark volume over one hundred years of the best writing on the common soldier, from an account of life as a Confederate soldier written in 1882 to selections of Wiley's classic scholarship, and from the story of women who joined the army disguised as men to an essay on the soldier's art of dying.
