The LIfe of Johnny Reb and The Life of Billy Yank by Bell I. Wiley and Mary WIley

“And if glory be measured by suffering, the South’s greatest heroes are not those who died at the cannons’ mouth on Cemetery Ridge, or in any of the other gallant charges made by soldiers in gray, but rather those who, sorely wounded or desperately ill, lived to experience the unspeakable agony of hospitalization.”

-Bell and Mary Wiley, 1943
