Opis

The 11th Missouri Infantry distinguished itself as just the type of regiment the Union needed in the Civil War. Hard as nails and loyal to a fault, the men of the 'Eagle Brigade' would follow their commanders into hell if they ordered. This study provides a detailed account of the regiment's 4 years of outstanding service.
