Review

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Georgia Regimental ResearchBy Dean Moss McCrackenJ. David Dameron's Benning's Brigade Volume 2 is a must for any Civil War historian researching the 2nd; 17th or 20th Georgia Regiments. Dameron also wrote Benning's Brigade Volume 1; covering the 15th Georgia. The work includes the original formation and command chain of each regiment. The complete roster also contains information on the different companies as well. Many of the soldiers listed in the roster have a brief description of their personal activity during the Civil War.Benning's (originally Toomb's) Brigade was one of the most widely traveled brigades (North or South) throughout the entire war. This book gives a very nice chronological account of the brigade from inception to the surrender at Appomattox.This is a well researched and informative account by Mr. Dameron.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Well written historyBy Ethan BishopThis book is well written and worth owning. Until this book; and its companion; a history of Henry Benning's brigade had not been written. Despite the poor editing (lots of typos and misspellings) I recommend this books highly.
