The Grayjackets: How They Lived, Fought, and Died For Dixie

by James Dabney McCabe

The average Confederate soldier was a young man in his early twenties, unshaven, unkempt, gaunt, but tough from months of difficult living. Affectionately known as "Grayjackets," these men fought for their ideals, not because they had been drafted. This collection of anecdotes and historical sketches is a fitting tribute to the courage and resolve of the Southern people as they defended their homeland from a formidable invader.
