A Soldier's Story of His Regiment (61st Georgia): And Incidentally of the Lawton-Gordon-Evans Brigade Army of Northern Virginia

By George W. Nichols and George Washington Nichols

Book Overview

One of the classic narratives of front line infantry service in the Army of Northern Virginia

Nichol's 61st Georgia fought in the renowned brigade commanded consecutively by generals Alexander R. Lawton, John B. Gordon, and Clement A. Evans.

Framed without any excess of sentimental hindsight, in addition to reporting on great battles and dramatic moments, Nichol's told the story of two cousins killing each other in a quarrel about cooking duties and described maggot-infested corpses around Spotsylvania's Bloody Angle.

Includes an annotated roster of the 61st supplies which details about Nichol's fellow veterans, some of which is not available anywhere else.
