Title: John Dooley's Civil War
Description: "John Dooley's Civil War gives us ... a comprehensive version of Dooley's 'war notes', which editor Robert Curran has reassembled from seven different manuscripts ... The notes were created as diaries that recorded Dooley's service as an officer in the famed First Virginia Regiment along with twenty months as a prisoner of war ... In addition to the war notes, the book includes a prewar essay that Dooley wrote in defense of secession and an extended poem he penned in 1870 on what he perceived as the evils of Reconstruction"--Jacket.
