Robert Beecham’s Civil War from the Iron Brigade to the Black Regiments
from Madison House.
They describe the book as follows:
This memoir by a veteran from the 2nd Wisconsin, Company H, is unique and one of the most exciting Civil War tales ever told.
Robert Beecham began as a young Wisconsin private in the famed Iron Brigade who survived to see his unit cut to ribbons at Gettysburg. He then reenlisted as an officer in the newly formed U.S. Colored Troops, which he led at the battle of the Crater in 1864. Treated in Union hospitals for wounds and twice interned in Confederate prisons, Beecham lived to tell his intriguing story of Civil War army life.
What is so clear in As if it Were Glory is Beecham’s voice as an observant outspoken commentator. He is a candid critic of army bureaucracy and his own officer corps, while championing the enlisted man—white and black—of the Union army.
Author, Michael Stevens, is the State Historian of Wisconsin. He is the editor of several books on the social history of Wisconsin and America.
