Charles Tubbs never actually went to war. He never volunteered nor
was he drafted in the Union army, but his friends - ordinary young
men from rural New York and Pennsylvania - wore the Union blue.
These seventeen individuals made the Civil War come alive for
Charles Tubbs, for they sent him some of the most eloquent letters
to have emerged from that momentous conflict. Popular historian Nat
Brandt, who has written extensively on the War Between the States,
has drawn his material from more than 175 letters that Tubbs
received from the seventeen friends who fought for the Union. The
young soldiers vividly communicate the camaraderie of camp life and
the loneliness of the soldier far from home. Their simple - at
times ungrammatical - missives transport the reader to most of the
major battles: Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg. Through their
experiences - and Nat Brandt's expertise - we are given a frontline
account of this crucial time in American history, from the first
stirrings of war to the final surrender at Appomattox, and to their
eventual march home.
