Description

“George W. Nichols’s aptly titled Soldier’s Story is among the classic narratives of frontline infantry service within the Army of Northern Virginia. Nichols’s 61st Georgia fought within the renowned brigade commanded in turn by General Alexander r. Lawton, General John B. Gordon, and General Clement A. Evans. Nichols framed his account without sentimental hindsight; along with reporting great battles and dramatic moments, he told the story of two cousins killing every other in a quarrel about cooking duties and described maggot-infested corpses around Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. An annotated roster of the 61st supplies information about Nichols’s fellow veterans, a few of which aren’t to be had anywhere else. Years of exhaustive research have made Professor K. S. Bohannon of the University of West Georgia the nonpareil leading authority on Georgia’s Civil War troops. Bohannon’s introduction adduces strong new evidence about George Nichols and his book. A thorough index also makes the work more accessible than earlier editions.”—Robert K. Krick, creator of The Smoothbore Volley That Doomed the Confederacy: The Death of Stonewall Jackson and Other Chapters at the Army of Northern Virginia
