GDG- brigade histories

Tue Jan 22 12:10:54 CST 2008

I have really developed a love for brigade histories.  It isn't as 
specific as regimential histories or biographies.  Law's Brigade is a 
good book and I have read Hoods Texans by J.B. Polley.  (I may have the 
title wrong for Hood's book) but Polley served in the brigade and his 
book is usually a source for all of the battles fought by the Army of 
Northern Virginia.  Its a good read for a book written by a participant. 
As for Kershaw's Brigade I cannot recommend anything because I have 
never come across a book for his brigade until now. I'll have to check 
out that book. at some point.

Mike
