Summary: Proud to be a Calico Boy
Comment: I read a lot of books on the Civil War. I had kin in the the 6th Wisconsin. I read everything I can find about the Iron Brigade. Mr. Herdegen is one of the great authorities on this famed and proud unit. I have enjoyed and learned from every one of his books. Well done! A must read for anyone who calls themselves a Civil War buff. My God....what a war...what a unit! Many American soldiers are button pushers these days. Back then, a man actually saw who he was fighting. The Brigade fought like wildcats. To get a feel for what it was like read Dawes and Herdegen. Read this book!!!

Summary: This was my first in-depth Iron Brigade book--
Comment: I found it very helpful and very inspirational. The book's four maps are especially clear. Quite a number of titles are available on this Brigade, and I was happy to find the book by Rufus R. Dawes, "A Full Blown Yankee of the Iron Brigade: Service with the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteers" now out in paper! Mr. Herdegen uses this earlier work, and now it is available to all CW students. I found much to share with others from this book, and I recommend it highly.

Summary: GEEZ, this is a GOOD BOOK!!!
Comment: I'm a voracious reader on the subject of American History, particularly of our Civil War. I'm currently in the middle of this book, and I came on line to look for related titles. My interest in the Iron Brigade has been whetted! Precious few unit histories or service memoirs bring to life their subjects in such a deeply human, vivid and honoring way as this. If I could only keep or save an armful of my hundreds of books, this would certainly be one of them. I'm going back to read it...
