On Campaign with the Army of the Potomac

Theodore Ayrault Dodge (1842-1909) was the 19th century's greatest military historian and author of biographies. More than an "armchair" military historian, he participated in the Civil War's fiercest and costliest fighting. This is Dodge's journal, offering a harrowing and vivid account of life--and death--in the Army of the Potomac during its most critical year. Illustrations.
