The Boys of '61 Book Description
Originally published in 1881, Coffin writes his personal observations while with the United States Army and Navy during the Civil War. From the first battle of Bull Run to the fall of Richmond and the surrender of Lee, he experienced the war at close quarters and takes us from the intimacy of the march and the camp, among ordinary men and officers, as momentous events unfolded and important decisions were made.
