From That Terrible Field: The Civil War Letters Of James M.Williams, 21st Alabama Infantry Volunteers

Civil War letters of James M. Williams, Twenty-First Alabama Infantry Volunteers

Plot

“The well-written and candid letters of a reasonably articulate Southern officer, who paints a lucid picture of everyday life in the Confederate army in a little-known theater... Williams’s letters, personally written and shot through with his sharp sense of humor and folksy artwork, provide an excellent account of a long neglected theater of the American Civil War.” – Western Pennsylvania History
