 A tragedy told well April 20, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Every Civil War soldier had his story. But rarely are so many soldier stories pieced together so well. Mike Pride and Mark Travis have woven together the most compelling stories told by several members of the Fifth New Hampshire using a wonderful catalog of anecdotes, letters, articles and documentation. While My Brave Boys recounts the Fifth's tragic story, it introduces readers to the men from New Hampshire -- including rough-cut Col. Cross -- whose character and courage made the Fighting Fifth so battle ready. Pride and Travis are newspapermen, so the regiment's story is researched well and told with such compelling voices that even non-Civil War buffs will be lured in. Of the regimental histories I've read, this is one of the best because it's a cross-section of both military history and 19th century life -- in New Hampshire and on the battlefield. Pride and Travis should be commended on this achievement. Cross and his men were truly part of a Civil War story that needed to be told.
