The 20th Maine.
Read it years ago, still sticks. Also " An Illinois Boy in the Civil War". That could be hard to find but purports to be an autobiography of one of Sherman's Bummers - reads well.

Try looking for "Lincoln, the War Yars" by Carl Sandburg. It's been out of print (4 volumes) for 40 years or so but you might be ablee to find it on e-bay. It's one of the best books ever written about the Civil War.

I wonder why?
"Lincoln the War Years" is a great book. I wonder why it is out of print.

Being a member of the Watkins family I also thought "Co Aytch" by Sam R. Watkins was a good book and read it from cover to cover in a day .I just couldn't put it down one of my favorite sections was when Sam was eating dinner with the Yanks and the C.O. of the Union Co. rode up and asked a Soldier what that "reb" was doing he replied "eating, Sir" as Sam ran off back to his Camp....
