Lincoln spoke his address at Gettysburg 139 years ago this fall. As the years since the War Between the States increase, it becomes more important to seize the threads of history before they fade and unravel. From Fields of Fire and Glory offers 20 letters from the war, reproduced in color from the originals, with typed transcriptions of the combatants' penned words. Tucked into pockets, on pages with photographs of the correspondents and context, the letters are both poignant and graphic, giving details that will delight war buffs and scholars. Even the rebel papers admit that Lee has his match in Gen Meade, & has been foiled in every attempt to surprise or flank him. I only hope the Blubber heads at Washington will leave Meade where he is. The history is not limited to just the winning side or that of the oft-romanticized loser; North and South, navy and infantry, officer and private, homefront and warfront are all represented. Jacob Harvey, in a letter to his wife in 1865, wrote, "I would rather talk with you one hour than rite a dozen leters [sic]." While we would rather talk with Harvey and his comrades for one hour than read a dozen letters, this book is a welcome substitute. - The Bloomsbury Review -- -, Lincoln spoke his address at Gettysburg 139 years ago this fall.
