The Ocean State has a remarkable record of service during the Civil War. It supplied over twenty-three thousand men for the infantry; cavalry and artillery units between 1861 and 1865. From Bull Run to Appomattox and many battles along the way; including Antietam; Fredericksburg and Gettysburg; Rhode Island troops were always on the front lines. Civil War historian Robert Grandchamp lets the soldiers tell their stories in their own words; drawing from their letters to retell the accounts of those who fought and died to save the Union. From Woonsocket to Westerly; this book offers a personal connection to Rhode Island during the War Between the States through the voices of its heroic sons.

Errors; irreconcilable differences; magic;superstition and plain old ordinary lies make up the bible written by a bunch of men in pursuit of a living. If you want to know the truth of bibles contents; read this book.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
