From That Terrible Field
Civil War Letters of James M. Williams, 21st Alabama Infantry Volunteers
By James Williams; Edited by John Kent Folmar
University of Alabama Press
“The well-written and candid letters of a reasonably articulate Southern officer, who paints a lucid picture of everyday life in the Confederate army in a little-known theater… Williams’s letters, personally written and shot through with his sharp sense of humor and folksy artwork, provide an excellent account of a long neglected theater of the American Civil War.” – Western Pennsylvania History
