Davis. In vivid detail, this book tells of Breckinridge's audacious domination of the battlefield and of Sigel's tragic ineptitude; of the opposing troops, both seasoned and untried; of the fate of prisoners and of the wounded; and, perhaps most memorably, of the gallantry of the cadets who marched from the classrooms of the Virginia Military Institute directly into the heat of battle. 249 pgs., 5½"x 8½", sfbd.
