Review Quotes: "Lieutenant Edward Granger was a sharp observer and an eloquent writer, and his letters home document, in thrilling detail, some of the hardest fighting of the Civil War, from Gettysburg to Trevilian Station and beyond. Combined with Sandy Barnard's excellent and fulsome commentary, this is a valuable and entertaining addition to the literature of the war."--James Donovan, author of A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn--The Last Great Battle of the American West
