Book Synopsis

The Vermont Brigade, sometimes referred to as the First Vermont Brigade or the Old Brigade, fought its first full-brigade engagement in the Seven Days'' battles. The leaders, as well as the rank and file, were inexperienced in warfare, but through sheer grit and determination they made a name for themselves as one of the hardest-fighting units in the Army of the Potomac.

Using soldiers'' letters, diaries, and service and pension records, this book gives a soldier''s-eye-view of the Virginia summer heat, days of marching with very little rest or nourishment, and the fear and exhilaration of combat. Also included are the stories of 29 men that were wounded or killed and how the tragedies affected their families.
