Description

The Civil War, also known as the War between the States, marks one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. While much is known about the battles of the war themselves, what about the soldiers who fought in these battles?

In this book, author Donnie H. Whitmire shares detailed accounts of the men fighting in the Confederate army, particularly those men in the Chestatee Artillery.

In these pages, you’ll discover:

• The varied ages and backgrounds of the men who enlisted
• The troops’ struggles with disease, mosquitoes, and an unfamiliar climate

This small North Georgia regiment, which involved some of Whitmire’s ancestors, enlisted thinking they would go off to war and fight for a cause they believed in. But as they would soon discover, waiting for their combat orders came with a list of unforeseen difficulties. Reading about these courageous individuals is sure to inspire you and instill a newfound respect for the men who enlisted in the Confederate army.
