Excellent work regards a quite insignificant individual - soldier in the Civil War - who due to circumstances rises to heroic levels.

Rhea is the author of several Civil War battles/histories and is one CW author that I am especially fond of. Highly recommended to any CW reader.

One of the best Civil War books I have read. Well documented and well researched. Especially enjoyed the author's comments at the end with the directions to the battle site. Excellent read for Civil War historians.

Another wonderful historical book that relates an incredible story. This book makes history come alive and adds the story of an obscure personality that changed the course of the civil war. Fascinating and wonderful!
