Overview:
In August 1861, a nineteen-year-old Illinois farm boy named Benjamin W. ("Webb") Baker enlisted in the Union Army, answering one of Abraham Lincoln's first calls for volunteers. For three years he fought in Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia - virtually the whole Western theater. Through it all he wrote compelling letters home describing what he saw and experienced - a rich archive that his great-grandson, Benson Bobrick, now draws from to write this stirring chronicle of one soldier's war.
