Following the Flag

Synopsis

Following the Flag is written by Charles Carleton Coffin, an American journalist, Civil War correspondent, author and politician.

An injury might have stopped him from serving the army, but not his efforts to serve the country in the battle field. As mentioned by the author in his preface, this book might not be sufficient enough to give the movements of regiments, but narrates the operations of the brigades and divisions.

The Author has witnessed all battles of the Army of Potomac including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, at the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, the North Anna, Coal Harbor and at Petersburg.
