Description: "From Seven Pines to Cedar Creek, the Third Alabama Regiment under the command of Brigadier General Cullen Andrews Battle played a key role in the Civil War. One of the first regiments from the Deep South to make the journey to Virginia in 1861, the Third Alabama was also the first to cross the Potomac into Maryland and to enter the streets of Gettysburg.".

"Battle brings his training as a journalist and lawyer to this account of his regiment's wartime experiences. In addition to providing soldiers' accounts of some of the war's bloodiest fights, Battle assesses Confederate mistakes - particularly at Seven Pines - and sheds light on the Third Battle of Winchester, the only decisive defeat in which he was involved."--BOOK JACKET.
