by Jon Sutherland
This book contains mini-biographies of eighty of the most revered leaders and heroes of the American Civil War. The entries are in alphabetical order and range from Confederates such as Pierre Beauregard, the hero of Fort Sumter, to the legendary Stonewall Jackson - from 'Johnny Shiloh', the little drummer boy, to General Ulysses Grant, 'the Butcher', of the Unionist forces.
