Review

"Bates was a remarkably lucid and vivid writer, and his Civil War letters and diary bring to their readers a wonderful sense of immediacy and a fresh perspective on the battles and campaigns of Ross's Texas Cavalry Bridge....Lowe does a masterful job of blending previous primary accounts with Bates's writings, situating the soldier's experiences within the context of the great war and transforming a rich letter cycle into a compelling, sustained, and dramatic narrative."
