“Civil War buffs will relish this extraordinary new history from Bobrick based on a collection of letters written by his great-grandfather, Benjamin ‘Webb’ Baker…This is a compelling story, rendered in vivid, graceful prose that should find an enthusiastic audience.” 

Publishers Weekly

Benson Bobrick, recipient of the 2002 American Academy of Arts and Letters Literature Award, tells the story of Benjamin "Webb" Baker, his great-grandfather. Webb enlisted in the Union Army in 1861 and thereafter suffered through horrid conditions in camp and absolute hell in combat. Benson's fascinating look at the Civil War also contains a heretofore unreleased collection of Webb's letters.
