Johnny Reb and Billy Yank

Unbelievable

Well written, funny, sad, horrifying, graphic. I think it is a must read for any civil war history buff. Really encapsulates the life of a soldier and dispels many historical myths surrounding the rebel army. 10/10

First thing I've listened to another book read by Barry, and once again he was top notch. As for the book I found it interesting, as I'm a civil war buff, but found Hunter could be long winded in some of his chapters. I wish he just stuck to his own experiences, since he a lot of good stories to tell, and he could have shaved off 3 or 4 chapters. All in all it was a good listen and gave a different perspective not always seen in history books.

The most humanizing description of the civil war I have ever read. Nothing short of remarkable. Well read by someone who knows how to properly read such a valuable document. Would give it 10 stars if possible.

Amazing true life story of a soldier and cavalryman in the CSA who was in the very thick of it for the entire four year war. Alexander Hunter had an amazing life. He was captured by the Yanks several times and escaped several times. This is a long book, all of it the true life diary and memoirs of Mister Hunter. It is terrifically ready by Barry Eads. Mr Hunter's commentary on the southern leaders is most interesting, He was contemptuous of many generals, like Gen. Early, as well as President Jefferson Davis. On the other had he had the greatest veneration for Stonewall Jackson and most especially Robert E. Lee. There were many ways he thought that the South could have won the war despite the tremendous odds, and I wish they did. I very highly recommend this book,
