A separate roll details casualties and the final disposition of the men of Co. A. Wood served in campaigns from First Manassas to the end of the war. This first-hand memoir provides excellent insights into each of these battles and the events and personality surrounding them. His first-hand account as a Confederate, company-grade officer during Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg provides a wonderful illumination. This is the best-edited, best-produced volume to come from the team of Bell Wiley and Seale Johnson, the Confederate entrepreneurs of Tennessee’s McCowat-Mercer Press. Nat Wood was no stuffed-shirt aristocrat. He was more the red-blooded American yeoman type. He worked himself up from private, and he fought the war the hard way. His narrative was written a good many years after the close of the war, but it retains a freshness lacking in many narratives of the old veteran type. Wood wrote directly and simply. And he himself comes through the story as a direct and simple character, a character of conviction and capability. This original, first edition book is signed by the editor, Civil War historian Bell I. Wiley. The book is in excellent condition and comes in the original dust jacket that that is clean and bright with light edge wear. The book is super nice, clean, bright, sharp and solidly bound throughout.
