Reviews
Captain John C. Reed, son of a minister and a well-educated gentleman, served with the 8th Georgia in the Eastern Theater. His recollections from First Manassas to Appomattox . . . offer value to students of the war, and his foray into the Western Theater and participation in the Knoxville Campaign sheds more light on this action, as do his accounts of Longstreet's understudied winter of '63/64 in East Tennessee., This professional edition of Capt. John Reed's poignant memoir offers vivid accounts of a Georgia infantry regiment in camp and battle with the Army of Northern Virginia from First Manassas to Appomattox. The gritty gripping descriptions of combat mesh well with his reminiscences of the lighter side of a soldier's life. This is a must-read for students of Confederate infantry operations., John Reed captures the spirit of the times and the experiences of a young Georgian who has gone to war to defend his home and loved ones in service that ranged from Manassas to Appomattox. The memoir offers insights into the horrors and humor of soldier life in the conflict that engulfed his world., William Cobb deserves much credit for bringing Reid's memoirs to print and for his stellar work in editing it. This memoir possesses mass appeal to historians interested in the conflict's military, political, and social dimensions., This is rare, authentic and fascinating. The author was in the midst of things . . . where the shooting and killing occurred.

Great find! I’ve been looking for this and considered two other options. This one looked most promising. When I got it, it was even better then the picture! Plus, the extra detail in packaging made it perfect.

Seller is a liar. I won auction. Seller claimed items were broken or lost. Seller refunded money and then relisted items at later date because they wanted more money. Deceptive seller.
