Title: Band of brothers
First published: 1996
Description: Band of Brothers tells the story of the "Southern Confederates," one of the most well educated, zealously religious and unbelievably gallant group of men with a devotion to duty unequaled in either army - an immortal "band of brothers." Their trials of being a wounded prisoner of war, sham battles, a prayer meeting in the trenches, sleeping while marching, sleeping during a skirmish, and throwing lighted turpentine balls into the enemy's camps are illustrated within these pages. Capt. James I.

Hall's much quoted reminiscences and letters are presented in full for the first time - an educator who joined the war to watch over his young students. Also included in C. B. Simonton's detailed account of the organization of the unit including the exact speeches at the presentation and acceptance of their first flag. The battles of Columbus, Perryville, Atlanta, and others are all chronicled.
