Description for Fit Representation of Pandemonium
A common soldier's story, of the men fighting to defend Confederate interests at Vicksburg in late 1862 through July 1863. Using a number of letters home, reminiscences, records and diaries kept during the long hours in the hot and filthy 'ditches', it presents a story of sacrifice and adaptability, of boredom and submission to inevitability. Num Pages: 600 pages, index, bibliography. BIC Classification: 1KBBSN; 3JH; HBJK; HBLL; HBWJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 156 x 44. Weight in Grams: 984.
