Coffin describes the political and intellectual history of pre-war Vermont, the fervor to fight, and the battles in which Vermonters saw action. Meticulously researched and well-illustrated, this is a book that helps bring alive a vital era in Vermont and US history, mainly through letters, diaries and memoirs. Illustrated.
