“These letters are unusually readable, perceptive, and useful to readers who might wish to explore the motivation of soldiers not only in the Civil War but in comparative contrast with those of all wars.” —John Y. Simon, professor of history at Southern Illinois University–Carbondale and executive director of the Ulysses S. Grant Association “A Badger Boy in Blue provides a fascinating window into the life of abolitionist midwestern soldier Chauncey H. Cooke. Cooke’s letters read like a novel. His eye for detail transforms his descriptions of such mundane experiences as marching and laundry day in camp into fascinating accounts, full of life. The letters recounting battles are heart pounding. Marching off to war with Chauncey Cooke, the Badger Boy in Blue, is an adventure not to be missed.” —Joseph E. Brent, adjunct professor at the University of Kentucky and vice-president of Mudpuppy & Waterdog, Inc. “Characterized as a ‘charmingly fresh and unsophisticated’ narrative, the experiences of the 25th Wisconsin Infantry as described in the letters of Chauncey Cooke will enthrall and entertain the broad spectrum of Civil War enthusiasts. A Badger Boy in Blue makes for a delightfully good read.” —Terrence J. Winschel, historian at Vicksburg National Military Park and author of Triumph and Defeat: The Vicksburg Campaign, vols. I and II “This remarkable book offers vivid and intimate insights into the Civil War experiences of ordinary soldiers through the richly detailed and poignant letters of Chauncey Cooke. Filled with the sights and sounds of war and a young soldier’s wonder and concern, especially on issues of race, what this teenaged farm boy wrote home to western Wisconsin is certain to deepen both your understanding and empathy for those who served in the Union ranks. Also, one is sure to feel a sublime sense of young Cooke’s spiritual kinship to Huck Finn.” —Kerry A. Trask, author of Fire Within: A Civil War Narrative from Wisconsin
