Discover the incredible stories of twenty-nine Civil War soldiers from Washington County, Pennsylvania, as told by best-selling author Jim Douglas. With meticulous research, Jim has uncovered the complete story of the soldiers from this county who marched off to war, answering the call of patriotism.

Through his book, Jim takes us on a fascinating journey, sharing the lives of these soldiers from their humble beginnings to their experiences on the battlefield, and their remarkable lives after the war. Jim reveals the struggles and triumphs of each soldier, and how their experiences shaped their lives and the lives of their descendants many of whom served in later conflicts.

With hundreds of stunning images, many expertly hand-colored by the author, Jim brings these soldiers to life once more. Through his vivid retelling of their stories, we learn how some veterans were merely fun-loving scamps, while others led the life of a scoundrel, and some were true American heroes.

Join us on this remarkable journey as we uncover the unvarnished truth of what these soldiers endured when they returned home. Let Jim's expert storytelling and powerful images transport you back to a pivotal moment in our nation's history, and experience the lives of these brave soldiers as if you were there. These are stories that deserve to be told.
