Our Experience In The Irish Brigade: Fredericksburg To Petersburg. Letters From One Of The Most Revered Federal Brigades In The American Civil War
Carrying a common spirit and sense of duty, Aaron and Allen Landis joined the Union Army in the summer of 1862 during the American Civil War. The experiences in a soldiers daily routine, the exhausting marches, the proximity to death, the exhilaration of battle, the camp frolic and fireside revelry, and camaraderie in a unique time of strife and struggle are the main themes to this story. Human emotion is the link between our lives and theirs. These personal reflections, mostly forgotten when discussing war are the elements that truly make this story worth reading and remembering. The letters progress over a two-year period between Fredericksburg and Petersburg, Virginia, and unfold with a touching and clear voice that could be spoken by a neighbor, brother or friend. Their sarcastic, matter-of-fact style resonates with our modern human experience. The siblings tell their thoughts and feelings of the adventures of two young men involved in America’s most prolific and epic struggle. I fell in love with the story and I hope you do to. Enjoy.

Bought this for my sister, who is a history buff. She read it and liked it very much. Said she would recommend it to other's with an interest in the period.
My interest in reading about the Civil War has always turned to the personal, I am not too enamored with battle tactics or strategy. What the people, both soldier and civilian, had to endure those years in their daily lives is fascinating to me. This book did not disappoint. The author takes us back in time, to two brothers,their comrades and their families. While I was reading this book, I felt like I was right there with the soldiers, whether around the camps, in the freezing cold of the battlefield at Fredricksburg or on the move to a new battle. For the readers who the "human interest" stories appeal to, they will love this book. For the people who do want battles, the author includes those aspects in good detail too. Great read for anyone interested in the Civil War.
This is an awesome in depth look at two lives that were forever changed during a very important time period! You also get a better understanding about what it took mentally and physically to survive the conditions during the Civil War! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to research the lives of our soldiers who were effected during this time period! It really gives us a true look through the eyes that experienced it and how the war changed our nation forever!
Excellent history of two brothers who served in the army of the Potomac in the Civil War. Up close and personal account by a young soldier from Pennsylvania and more.
