This book was written by James I. Robertson Jr., published in 1988, the narrative is 228 pages and is illustrated with black and white photos and drawing. Soldiers Blue and Gray tells the story of Johnny Reb and Billy Yank, soldiers who recorded their experiences and emotions in the largest outpouring of letter writing in America's history. In the first scholarly examination of the Civil War soldier published since Bell I. Wiley's two volume study half a century ago, Robertson draws upon hundreds of rare and obscure sources to produce a moving chronicle of what it was like to participate in the bloodiest and most intense war the world had ever seen. This hard back book is in excellent condition, with a dust jacket in very good condition.
