Vermonters in the Civil War. Coffin. This exciting
saga, written with the immediacy of a combat correspondent, dramatizes why

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. |
