A little bias because my great, great grandfather is one of the soldiers mentioned
A little bias because my great, great grandfather is one of the soldiers mentioned. So many others though with quick, two-three page bios of their lives and contribution to the war. Makes me feel a little useless to read what these young doing at the same age I was rolling out of bed and doing a half-fast study job at college.
Excellent book - I ordered it after reading a short recommendation in the WSJ and am most happy I did.  1865 was an important year - the stories of the 4 individuals who make up this book are of page-turning quality, especially knowing that the accounts are non-fiction.  Highly recommended for anyone who likes to read history.
