Rhodes enlisted into the Union Army as a private in 1861 and left it four years later as a twenty-three-year-old colonel after fighting hard and honorably in battles from Bull Run to Appomattox. Anyone who heard these diaries excerpted in \u003ci\u003eThe Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e will recognize his accounts of those campaigns, which remain outstanding for their clarity and detail. Most of all, Rhodes's words reveal the motivation of a common Yankee foot soldier, an otherwise ordinary young man who endured the rigors of combat and exhausting marches, short rations, fear, and homesickness for a salary of $13 a month and the satisfaction of giving \"all for the union.\"","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53772009406737,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780679738282.jpg?v=1783971430","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-all-for-the-union-by-elisha-hunt-rhodes","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
