Rhode Island furnished 25,236 fighting men to the Union Army during the American Civil War, of which 1,685 died. Among those men were many officers, the most prominent of whom was General Ambrose Burnside. But included are Horatio Rogers, Henry Sisson, Isaac Rodman, and even the son of a governor.

From First Bull Run, through Antietam, Gettysburg, Richmond, and on to Appomattox, some of the most stiring stories are of Rhode Islanders.

Gathered here in one volume are some of those stories. Details of battles and personalities give life to the stories and carry the interest to a broader audience than just today's Rhode Islanders.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
