The Iron Brigade (Men-at-Arms, 19)

Author did a comprehensive job of discussing the Iron Brigade from beginning to end. Good discussion of their movements and the battles they fought without being a dry recitation of facts. Color plates in the middle are very nice

good information

This little book, with a forward by Alan Nolan, is essentially a synopsis of Nolan's work, with additional information on the later history of the Brigade (post-Gettysburg) that is not covered by Nolan. It is a useful and quick introduction to the history and look of the Brigade for those without time or inclination to devote to a full reading of Nolan's work. Selby's little book is complemented with general maps and color plates of the various uniforms and styles of dress found in the Iron Brigade.
