"History of Kershaw's Brigade" by D. A. Dickert is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth examination of Kershaw's Brigade, a unit of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, detailing its formation, engagements, and the experiences of the soldiers involved. It aims to preserve the personal stories, battles, and daily life of the brigade’s soldiers as they fought for their beliefs in a tumultuous era.
