Product Overview
To Honor These Men is a thoroughly researched, comprehensive book that details the organization of a ?legion? and its combat odyssey. The authors have followed the trail of the story of the Phillips Georgia legion and produced a highly readable book that takes the reader on foot and horseback through most of the major battles in the eastern theater of the Civil War. The words of soldiers express the sights, sounds, screams, and odors of the battlefield. Coffman and Graham track the legion troops from the mountains of Western Virginia to the tears of Appomattox. Bravery, cowardice, fatigue, and boredom are documented throughout the text in this first-ever saga of Phillips Georgia legion. Detailed appendices include a capsule history of Macon Light Artillery, the Sharpshooter Battalion, and the band, as well as annotated rosters for each infantry company.
