Summary
"The Vermont Brigade (sometimes referred to as the "First Vermont Brigade" or the "Old Brigade") fought its first full-brigade engagement in the Seven Days' battles. Using soldiers' letters, diaries, and service and pension records, this book gives a soldier's-eye-view of the Virginia summer heat, days of marching with little rest or nourishment, and the fear and exhilaration of combat. Included are stories of 28 men that were wounded or killed and how it affected their families"--
