A Full Blown Yankee of the Iron Brigade: Service with the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteers

A Full Blown Yankee of the Iron Brigade: Service with the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteers
- Used Book in Good Condition
"I have been so wholly engrossed with my work for the last week or I should have responded sooner to your question: â€˜Are you going?â€™ If a kind Providence and President Lincoln will permit, I am. I am Captain of as good, and true a band of patriots as ever rallied under the star spangled banner."â€”Rufus R. Dawes.
Â
A Full Blown Yankee of the Iron Brigade combines the personal experiences of Rufus R. Dawes with a history of the regiment in which he served. The Iron Brigade was the only all-Western brigade that fought in the eastern armies of the Union and was perhaps the most distinguished of the Federal brigades.
Â
Dawes is credited with a keen sense of observation and a fresh and vivid style. Seldom absent from the field during his entire three-and-a-half-year term, he chronicled Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chan-cellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness campaign, Cold Harbor, and the Petersburg lines. Perhaps most remarkable is the well-honed sense of humor he displayed about both the war and himself. Dawesâ€™s sophisticated account of significant military organizations and events improves our understanding of the epic of the Civil War.
