Vermonters in the Civil War. Coffin. This exciting saga, written with
the immediacy of a combat correspondent, dramatizes why and how a small,
poor, remote Northern state responded so quickly and enthusiastically to
President Lincoln's first call to arms in 1861. From the defense of
Washington and the siege of Richmond, from
Big
Bethel to Cedar Creek, we
observe the bravery and exploits of Vermont's troops who turned the tide
in pivotal battles to preserve the Union. 376 pgs., 73 photos and
illustrations, sfbd. |
