Using previously unpublished family and regimental records, Philip Katcher describes the military life of rankers in Grant's forces in the American Civil War. Instead of concentrating on the Generals and the main action, the author covers the work of the common man, where he came from, how he was clothed, equipped, trained and deployed, and offers an account of the conditions he found himself confronted with.
