The Civil War ended more than 150 years ago, yet our nation remains fiercely divided over its enduring legacies. In A Thousand May Fall, Pulitzer Prize finalist Brian Matthew Jordan returns us to the war itself, bringing us closer than perhaps any prior historian to the chaos of battle and the trials of military life. Creating a chronicle from the 107th Ohio Volunteer Infantry's perspective, he allows us to see the Civil War anew--and through unexpected eyes.
