About this product

Product Information

In the fire of war, Colonel Edward E. Cross garnered glory as commander of the unit that sustained more battlefield casualties than any in the Union Army. General Winfield Scott Hancock, who called Cross's Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers as good as any regiment in the world, told Cross at Gettsyburg, "After this battle you'll get your general's star." "Too late, General," Cross replied, as he rode out to his death in combat.The success of My Brave Boys: To War with Colonel Cross and the Fighting Fifth (UPNE, 2001) has led to a resurgence of interest in the Fifth New Hampshire and its charismatic and enigmatic commander. Now history comes alive in this first published collection of Cross's writings and correspondence from his years commanding the Fighting Fifth. The cornerstone of Stand Firm and Fire Low is Cross's Civil War diary, transcribed with annotations from his handwritten original, along with battlefield diagrams in Cross's own hand, 27 letters, on-the-scene reports, and his epic battlefield poetry. The book breathes life into a controversial figure, showing how he molded a thousand New Hampshire volunteer soldiers into a renowned infantry regiment that fought some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.

5 out of 5 stars
by gettysburg7107Mar 05, 2011
Excellent, moving and informative
From the Forward to the final pages, you will find this book difficult to put down. At first, you will be introduced to Mike Pride and Mark Travis, who were the authors of a different book on Colonel Cross and the Fighting 5th New Hampshire Infantry. They will take the reader on a journey in search of the long lost personal journal of Edward E. Cross. From his early days to his final wounds taken at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863 - the reader will be introduced to the opinions and politicing of Cross and perhaps, see why he was not promoted beyond Colonel. Yet it is strikingly evident that Cross earned a generals' commission on more than one occasion. In the end, it was 2nd Corp commander Hancock that said he would get his star by the end of the day (July 2), Cross had the premonition that he would not survive the battle. While following Cross's Civil War career, you are also in the ranks of the 5th New Hampshire on the march, in the camps, building a bridge and scouting the advance. As a rule, the Official Records were exempt from personal feelings and emotion, but Cross bars none in his letters to friends, family and political contacts. At times he was frustrated, bitter and disappointed - but always the patriot and forever in love with his native state and protector of his boys from the Fighting 5th.Read full review
