From the Dust Jacket: "In addition to fighting in virtually every battle of the Army of the Potomac, missing only South Mountain and Antietam, Robert McAllister of the 1st New Jersey Infantry and later of the 11th New Jersey Infantry wrote a series of letters, here published for the first time, that reveal far more than a successful military career. He was twice wounded and three times promoted for heroism on the battlefield. His regiment distinguished itself at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Because he dared not keep a journal that might fall into enemy hands, McAllister wrote to his wife and daughter 936 letters in which he provided exhaustive descriptions of battle maneuvers, camp life, conversations with and criticisms of general officers, morale, weather. health of the troops, religious activities, even the rumors that circulated."
