Seller's Description:
Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Trade paperback. Glued binding. [2], 397, [1] p. Illustrations. From an on-line posting: "For three long years, Dr. William Child, a young country doctor from Bath, New Hampshire, served as a surgeon with the Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers, which shed more blood during the American Civil War than any other Union regiment. From Antietam, to bloody Fredericksburg, to Chancellorsville, Dr. Child witnessed the carnage and tended to the wounded. He was at Gettysburg, where the regiment's gallant Col. Edward Cross fell, and Cold Harbor, Virginia, and finally, at the end, inside Ford's Theatre itself on April 14, 1865, where he was an eyewitness to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Through it all, Child wrote heartfelt letters to his wife, Carrie, pouring out his angst and his loneliness as he described unforgettable scenes of war and the emotions they evoked."
