520 1 $a"On Many a Bloody Field follows one of the Civil
War's most famous combat organizations - Company B, 19th
Indiana Volunteers of the Iron Brigade, in a vivid account
of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances.
Alan D. Gaff follows the men from recruitment through
mustering out, from the tedium of camp to the excitement of
battle. Marches and battles are described in detail, but
Gaff also devotes close attention to how the war affected
individuals, both physically and emotionally. Formed into a
brigade with the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin, these Indiana
soldiers fought their first real battle at Brawner Farm.
Over four difficult years they fought on many a bloody field
: Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
Fitzhugh Crossing, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Laurel Hill,
North Anna River, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and Weldon
Railroad. With meticulous care, Alan Gaff recounts the
experience of war from the soldier's perspective, often in
the words of the men themselves. This intimate portrait of
men at war is an important contribution to the literature of
the Civil War."--BOOK JACKET.
