Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. [12], 396, [6] pages. Footnotes. Map. Illustrations. The Commanders, 1863-1865. Bibliography. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Lieutenant William H. Peel was 23 years old when Mississippi seceded from the Union. He joined the 11th Mississippi Infantry. Captured at the culmination of the Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Charge at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, Peel spent the remainder of his service at the prison on Johnson's Island in Sandusky Bay.
