"This volume enriches the historiography of the Civil War. The
editors should be commended for their fine collaborative
efforts."--Civil War Regiments
"The quality, the depth of feeling, the frankness and the variety
of subjects that mark these letters make for a connection between
the reader and correspondents unusual in such collections...The
editors have wisely let the Simpsons speak for themselves. So
thorough were the letter writers in their descriptions that the
editors could keep the notes and introduction to a minimum. This is
a book not to be missed"--Georgia Historical Quarterly
"Very interesting."--James A. Hakken, Jackson Community College
"The war unfolds for the reader as it did for the soldier, full of
great and horrible possibilities...Readers will find the real war
in these letters written from the camp, battlefield, hospital, and
picket line."--Civil War News
"Like all good autobiographies, these witty and poignant letters
reveal more about the authors than they had intended. As two young
college boys turn into seasoned campaigners, we see an entire
generation transforming itself into something it never
expected."--Raymond L. Puffer, KLIATT
