{"product_id":"2940149757848","title":"The Star Corps: Notes During Sherman's March to the Sea","description":"Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. This remarkable account is a history of \"Coburn's Brigade\"--the 2d Brigade, 3d Division, 20th A. C. during the famous march of 65,000 troops under General William T. Sherman to Savannah and Carolina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChaplain G.S. Bradley used journals and notes from his own writings, as well as from his comrades in arms to recreate the history of their historic march. In here you'll find the battles, the wretched conditions of the march at times, conversations with southerners they met along the way, and many stories of the freed slaves that followed them out of bondage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey write of the impoverished and ignorant whites, who wanted nothing more of war. They describe magnificent mansions on abandoned plantations. They reveal their own feelings about the path of destruction they leave in their wake. And they express the overwhelming joy of finally hearing of the Confederate surrender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075773972720,"sku":"2940149757848","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149757848_p0.jpg?v=1764006249","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149757848","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
