"It was a time of unbridled patriotism, unabashed chivalry and fierce courage, amidst a war so devastating that the very foundation of our country trembled. This is the story of six men in one regiment that faced the single greatest horror this nation has ever known - the Civil War. It is a study of courage in the face of near certain death; of honor before God and Flag; of a longing to return home where loved ones spent much of their time worrying about the fate of the volunteers who chose to fight. Upon the Tented Field is a work with more than 300 letters, written by these six men over a three year period, between July 1862 and June 1865. A photographic history accompanies the correspondence, creating a truly unique historical perspective. In the Foreword, noted historian and Pulitzer Prize winning author James M. McPherson writes, "Of all such collections I have read, Upon The Tented Field is one of the best. It includes the letters of not just one soldier, but six, whose descriptions of their experiences together provide a gripping narrative of the 145th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry. The real war - the tragedy of suffering and loss - does get into this book." It is that narrative that will capture the imagination. The descriptive power of these letters is impressive. The reader will experience the many privations of camp and life in the field, and will sense the adrenaline rise each time the regiment prepares to meet the enemy. Americans remain fascinated with the CIvil War - a war in which brother fought brother, father opposed son, and mothers were left to pick up the pieces of so many shattered dreams. Since the written word was the only real means of communication, it is in their eloquent words that we search for an understanding of that time, not so long ago." - excerpt from the inner front cover and inner rear cover.
