Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-05 00:00:00 Vickie Brinkman This book was a pleasant surprise. Most soldier's memoirs are sugar-coated in relation to the Civil War. The author of this one doesn't pull any punches with a neat, succinct narrative and not too much prose/poetry. I have a particular liking for memoirs about soldiers from the Buckeye state, being an Ohio native myself. Although it took me way too long to finish reading this work, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone with similar interests.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-11-11 00:00:00 Joseph Kornack "Under these stones lie the boys of '61-'65...who left home to do and die; and then you must highly resolve their lives shall not have been given in vain. These cities of the dead are peopled with lads who are deserving the crowns of laurel wrought with crimson berries, and these cities, with an undivided country, rich and vast beyond comprehension, are the treasures we leave in your safe keeping." The first-published journal of a captain in the 105th Ohio. Witty, detailed; a great tribute.
