John Michael Priest

White Mane Publishing Company, 1990

Terrific read
I can't say enough good things about this book. Prior to visiting the Antietam battlefield, I read Sear's Landscape Turned Red to get an overview. But then after seeing the battlefield I was eager to read more. Priest's book was just what I wanted. It is a ...

16th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry: Sergeant William H. Relyea

White Mane Publishing Company, 2004

A New Old Regimental History
John Priest calls the 16th Connecticut an "Average" Federal infantry regiment. I would rather call it an "unfortunate" Federal infantry regiment. Raised in Hartford County in August 1862, the 16th Connecticut was assigned to the Ninth Army Corps and found itself on ...

Victory Without Triumph: The Wilderness, May 6th & 7th, 1864
John Michael Priest

White Mane Publishing Company, 1996

Nowhere to Run: The Wilderness, May 4th & 5th, 1864

John Michael Priest

White Mane Publishing Company, 1995

Immensly detailed
My opinion is that you will not like this book if you are not VERY interested in the Civil War. I liked it. But, I warn you that it is FULL of LITTLE details about the battle. If that's what you are looking for, get it. What is hard to grasp in this book is the ...

Into the Fight: Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg

John Michael Priest

White Mane Publishing Company, 2002

Micro-History at its best !
John Michael Priest has once again displayed the literary art to which he seems born. This book is so utterly enthralling, it is almost like reading a novel. Even the veteran of many Gettysburg book readings will hinge on the story of Pickett's charge as told by ...

Stephen Elliott Welch of the Hampton Legion (Civil War Heritage, Vol 3)

White Mane Pub, 1994

Antietam: The Soldiers' Battlefield : A Self-Guided Mini-Tour

John Michael Priest

White Mane Publishing Company, 1994

Quick and Valuable Little Guide Before You Go
A great little book to take a look at before you go or to read on the way there. It's short and to the point. Terrific drawings of each area. Also has such a "you are there" feel that it is an especially valuable little synopsis for historians, researchers, ...

Before Antietam: The Battle for South Mountain

John Michael Priest

Oxford University Press, USA, 1996

A good book
John Priest is one of the nicer Civil War authors and it is a shame that he is having this "accuracy" problem. Having read and enjoyed the book, I have taken the time to investigate the extent of the "factual errors". I found it very hard to pin down the errors that ...
