"There is Jackson standing like a stone wall! Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer." — Confederate General Barnard E. Bee.
More than 700 provocative declarations in this fascinating book constitute a running narrative by many who lived through or died in the Civil War. The voices of the great and famous, the ordinary and unknown, resound in these pages that bear historic witness to key events before, during, and after the war.
