The Better Angels of Our Nature by Michael Halleran
From first-person accounts culled from regimental histories, diaries, and letters, the author has constructed an overview of 19th-century American freemasonry in general and Masonry in the armies of both North and South in particular, and provided telling examples of how Masonic brotherhood worked in practice.
"Given the freshness of the topic, the good research, and the effective presentation, I strongly recommend this bookIt covers a significant but unstudied aspect of the war." - Earl J. Hess, author of The Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat: Reality and Myth and In the Trenches at Petersburg: Field Fortifications and Confederate Defeat"
