Title: Five Soldiers' Stories
Review: This book follows the experiences of five Civil War soldiers from southwestern Pennsylvania. Utilizing very articulate diary and letter accounts from these men Robert Eberly has woven a superb story of individual soldiers' lives within a carefully researched and superbly written historical narrative. The Pennsylvania Reserves saw ferocious combat and this book takes you onto the battlefield. Eberly skillfully weaves the first-person accounts of the individual soldiers with the overarching 'big picture'. Most importantly, he lets the soldiers tell THEIR stories. The reader sees the battlefield through THEIR eyes. This book would be an excellent addition to the library of any Civil War devotee. The Forward is written by Ed Bearss which is endorsement enough.
