Coburn's Brigade, 85th Indiana, 33rd Indiana, 19th Michigan, and 22nd Wisconsin in the Western Civil War. Frank J. Welcher and Larry Ligget. 300 pages. Hardback 29.95 The Northern brigade of John Coburn has gained a reputation both notorious and laudatory. Accused of gross misconduct (as these authors show, improperly) when Thompson Station wassurrendered in Tennessee, they were captured and sent to Libby Prison. Released, they were determined to redeem themselves in the mediocre assignments given to them by the Western army. Then, having regained the confidence of their superiors, this group of Midwesterners faught staunchly and credibly in the Atlanta Campaign--shining particularly at the Battle of Peachtree Creek and were the first unit into Atlanta after its fall. This unusual and detailed history of a brigade which stayed together the entire war shows a little different version of unit solidarity. Not every unit was universally glorious; too often we pretend that is so. This is the story of a unit which failed and then succeeded.
