Sacrifice, Survival, and Strength
"The American Civil War was fought not only by armies, but by extraordinary individuals whose courage, ingenuity, and determination shaped the course of history.
In these seventeen classic stories and historical accounts, daring raiders steal a locomotive deep behind enemy lines. Prisoners tunnel their way toward freedom. Naval officers launch seemingly impossible attacks against ironclads. Commanders rally broken armies. Scouts, soldiers, and ordinary men confront danger, duty, and death with remarkable resolve.
Featuring works by Stephen Crane, Ambrose Bierce, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge, William Pittenger, and others, Gallantry, Grit & Glory brings together some of the most compelling tales of battlefield heroism, military leadership, and daring exploits to emerge from America's defining conflict.
From Gettysburg to Mobile Bay, from covert missions to acts of quiet bravery, these stories capture the courage, sacrifice, and indomitable spirit that continue to fascinate readers more than 150 years later.
