The Civil War Recollections of General Ellis Spear

Rating:
Summary: An excellent account of daily life during the civil war!
Review: Publishing this book was a life long dream of my father-in-law, Abbott Spear. He spent much of his life working to make it a reality and unfortunately, he passed away shortly before it was released. The book should be read by those interested in a first hand view of the civil war as seen through the eyes of an ordinary man (2nd in command under Chamberlain). It provides great insight into what daily life was like during the war. I found this book to be extremely moving...it made me proud of as well as grateful to those that lived through conditions most of us could never even imagine.
