Description: Never before published, Samuel Pryce's history of the "Johnson County Regiment" is a wide-ranging tale of the men he served with-- and whom he served so well as regimental adjutant. Pryce tells an unforgettable story, from the common soldier's ground-level perspective, of how a courageous band of midwesterners gathered, fought, lived and died under the "starry banner"--P.
