Title: Wandering to glory
Description: "In Wandering to Glory, DeWitt Boyd Stone, Jr. pieces together the words of officers and soldiers in an imaginative, nontraditional brigade history of one of the Confederacy's most active combat troops.

Stone blends firsthand accounts from a variety of sources to tell the colorful story of Brigadier General Nathan George "Shanks" Evans and his "Tramp Brigade." An independent South Carolina unit never permanently attached to a particular army, Evans' Brigade traveled widely, making its way from one frontline to another and earning its nickname.

Stone profiles the unit's accomplished but egotistical commander, who gained fame as a hero at the First Battle of Manassas, and traces its impressive war record, which began at Second Manassas and included its moment of glory at ground zero during the Battle of the Crater, at Petersburg, Virginia."--BOOK JACKET.
