This is a very enjoyable book. Coddington is a long-time collector of soldiers’ images or CDVs. He traces the personal stories of each soldier, whether it leads to heroic discoveries or ones in which a soldier served with less honor. You can read each story in just minutes and it makes for an easy read. The quality of the paper is very good and the images of the soldiers are awesome. This is a delightful addition to any Civil War enthusiasts’ collection.
