| The Battle of Fredericksburg comes to life through soldiers diaries and letters. A very readable text is accompanied by modern photographs of the battlefield and computerized maps prepared by Mr. Donald Peterson of Haverstraw, New York. Order-of-battle and subject indexes help readers locate ancestors and regimental numbers in the text. The author is an avid member of the Campaigners, a Civil War reenactment group. Having spent several years in research, he now tells the whole, awful story of Fredericksburg in "Across the Rappahannock" in a narrative that should appeal to the beginning buff and the dedicated student alike. - United States - Military - Civil War |
