Résumé
In the spring of 1864, after three bloody years of civil war, victory seemed within reach for the Northern armies. John Brought, Ohio's energetic wartime governor, offered his state's militia for 100 days of federal service. Drawn from Civil War diaries, letters and eyewitness accounts, this title tells the story of Ohio's 100-day men.
