+ Want to read

"The thoughts and reactions of Private J.P. Cannon, 27th Alabama Infantry, take the reader into the Civil War through his eyes. This most uncommon viewpoint takes the reader on a journey through times and places not seen by many Civil War historians." The 27th saw action at Forts Henry and Donelson, the battles of Perryville, Port Anderson, Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta, Franklin, Nashville, and Bentonville.
