Jamie.....indeed do read "Fighting for the Confederacy". Probably the best first hand account of the ANV and it's campaigns. But you will really like the chapter "Chickamauga". Alexander's youth and ability to recall names and numbers is unequaled. I keep that book close by for reference. He put the entire war into words that every man can understand and read without a translator. One of my favorite accounts was his discussion of rations and how later in the war officers were responsible for their personal aids' diet. The story of the peacocks and "Pompey's head" will amuse you and even turn your stomach. Anyone who has read it will understand.

"Confederate Rations
For a man, corn bread, so-so
Any bacon? No! No!
For a horse
O!"
