In the fire of war, Colonel Edward E. Cross garnered glory as commander of the unit that sustained more battlefield casualties than any in the Union Army. General Winfield Scott Hancock, who called Crosss Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers as good as any regiment in the world, told Cross at Gettsyburg, After this battle youll get your generals star. Too late, General, Cross replied, as he rode out to his death in combat.The success of My Brave Boys: To War with Colonel Cross and the Fighting Fifth (UPNE, 2001) has led to a resurgence of interest in the Fifth New Hampshire and its charismatic and enigmatic commander. Now history comes alive in this first published collection of Crosss writings and correspondence from his years commanding the Fighting Fifth. The cornerstone of Stand Firm and Fire Low is Crosss Civil War diary, transcribed with annotations from his handwritten original, along with battlefield diagrams in Crosss own hand, 27 letters, onthescene reports, and his epic battlefield poetry. The book breathes life into a controversial figure, showing how he molded a thousand New Hampshire volunteer soldiers into a renowned infantry regiment that fought some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.

The Civil War writings are insightful, but I found some parts a bit dense and hard to get through. It’s a great resource for research, though, just be prepared for some heavy reading!

Disappointed with the quality
I was excited to read this book, but when it arrived, the binding was a bit loose, and some pages were slightly damaged. The content is good, but I expected better quality for the price.
