Brothers in Gray: The Civil War Letters of the Pierson Family

Rating:
Summary: 3rd Louisiana Infantry, 9th Louisiana Infantry.
Review: The four Pierson sons, intelligent, and well-educated for their time, originally opposed secession butserved their country whole-heartedly in all theaters when the War came.
The letters of three sons are contained here, preserving valuable insights not only of battles and camp life but also frank opinions of the behavior of high officers and politicians. The tenacity of the Piersons, through sickness and wounds and hunger, in a War they didn't welcome, is fine testimony to the courage and patriotism of the Condederate soldier.
