The book is alive as you can see the copies of the actual letters accompanied by the "translation". I was enthralled by this book - following John step-by-step through the campaigns and then to find out that he was killed in the battle of Atlanta. His final letter is reminiscent of a Hollywood war film - surprising for a man with his background. I was stunned and excited to find out that his grave is only an hour from my home. Great story about my Great-Great Uncle.This is a rare "un-filtered" story about the Civil War.
