Even disease was not their most immediate concern, however, as Laboda describes the unit's difficulties in finding food, horses, and even recruits while enduring the reorganizations of an army at war. With the assistance of numerous detailed maps, he follows the ever-proud Alabamians into their first fight at Seven Pines, through the major battles of the Peninsula, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Spotsylvania, and Cedar Creek, and ultimately to their surrender at Appomattox. Scholars and Civil War buffs alike will applaud the efforts of Lawrence Laboda in bringing to life the endurance and bravery of the Jeff Davis Artillery.
The history of the Jeff Davis Artillery is the story of a company of Alabamians who fought with valor and distinction for the Confederacy during more than three and a half years of active service. From Selma to Appomattox goes beyond the unit's combat record to explore its day to day challenges, including finding food, horses, even recruits, and their bouts with disease. 37 halftones. 27 maps.
