Title: The Early History of the 55th Va Infantry
Review: Mr. Tombes provides much background into the early Civil War history of the 55th VA Infantry. The letters and journal entrys from his ancestor, Lt. Robert G. Haile, Jr. reveal the thoughts and hopes of the early Confederate soldier. The book gave insight into the reasons that the south fought, a soliders feelings towards the slaves that his family kept and the dislike of war. I was interested in this work as background to the unit that my great great grandfather- Benjamin Warner Pritchett fought in. If you are interested in the 55th VA, this book is a must have.
