Our Suffering Brave civil war book

One hundred sixty-three boys and men from Waitsfield, Vermont, joined the Union Army and fought in the Civil War. They served from the norter border of the United States to the southern border in Texas. Their individual stories of bravery, wounds, sickness, and deprivations during imprisonment and wartime deaths are told here in the varying geographic and political contexts of each one's military service. Some made it home, others did not. They should not be forgotten.
