Saga of southern soldier in Civil War -- fought in 13 battles in four major campaigns, under notorious Confederate Generals George Pickett and James Longstreet. Based on actual war diary of Southwest Virginia John Henry Hess of Russell County. Hess fought with the 29th Virginia Volunteer Infantry. The book is impeccably researched and documented. What makes this diary different is the well grounded fear of hordes of uncannily intelligent wild hogs following both Southern and Northern armies, waiting for battles, so the bests could invade the battlefields under cover of night to kill the wounded and eat the dead -- face first. This is the first book to address this particular horror and its hideous effect on already traumatized troopers.
