Title: To the Boys on the Other Side
Subtitle: Forget Me Not: Ducit Amor Patriae
Author: Neil Janney

Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 51 mins
Language: English
Release date: 06-17-14
Publisher: JanneyJanneyPublishingLLC
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
My two great-grandfathers, Jasper Smith and Ellwood Janney, served in the 18th Michigan Infantry during the American Civil War. In 1864 the 18th found itself in Decatur, Alabama, way down south across the Tennessee River. There, along with newly organized Black Union soldiers, they had to stop Confederate forces under General Hood and the notorious Nathan Bedford Forrest. Had they failed, Nashville likely would have fallen into Confederate control and caused the defeat of President Lincoln in the looming election. Outnumbered by 35,000 Confederate Forces to 5,000, Union forces this tiny fort held its ground. A daring charge by the Black Union soldiers routed Confederate artillery positions. This was a turning point. Met with cheers from the White soldiers, lasting bonds were forged that continued after the end of the war. The bones of the story are historically documented but the dry bones are brought alive with dialogue that cannot be classified as factual. Thus the work is a genre I call "faction", a blend of fact and fiction. The intent, however, is tell the story as best can be told as an actual rendition of the key events and outcomes.
Members Reviews:
Interesting, well written, short, but to the point
A great perspective to the thoughts and feelings of a real volunteer Michigan soldier/officer in the Union Army, stationed in Confederate territory during a real, although not well known battle of the Civil War.
To the Boys On the Other Side
This is a well-researched historically based account of the Civil War. Neil Janney brings this subject to life through his characters and terrific writing. A must read for any Civil War buff.
Somewhat like Agincourt, vastly outnumbered the Michigan 18th( with Ohio, Indiana and newly formed 14th U. S. Colored men) wins
So many big Civil War battles that amazing stories like this pass unnoticed. This is a quick read but the audible version is really the best way to capture the feeling of what it was to be there..
