Offers more than fifty dramatic, bittersweet accounts of the last moments and words of Southern soldiers, some famous, others virtually unknown, from the rank of general to private. Photographs of the soldiers, their graves, or the places where they fell illustrate the text. Each story was chosen to highlight a different aspect of the war, and every state of the Confederacy is represented by soldiers whose poignant stories are told here.
Definitely one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. The stories of courage and fortitude in these men who died for their beliefs would soften even the hardest of hearts and bring tears to the eyes of any true southerner.
