| Description | The stories in this pamphlet were compiled in 1900 by Cullen Bryant Aubery, who had been a newsboy during the Civil War. Aubery rode out between pauses in the action at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, to sell newspapers about the first day of the battle to soldiers. He was attached to the Iron Brigade and was later captured and confined in Libby Prison. This unit history of the Iron Brigade gives a chronological summary of the Brigade's actions, as well as many humorous accounts of camp celebrations, camaraderie among soldiers, and tales of bravery. |
