Civil War buffs will enjoy this volume of material on a medical doctor who was active in the Battle of first Manassas and went on to serve, first with the naval contingent at Drewry's Bluff, and later on the staff of Stonewall Jackson. The book reproduces many entire documents by Conrad, including his journal and monographs on the conflicts he had witnessed that he published in the local historical society journal. Lynn, a dentist in Virginia who is active in the Virginia Historical Society and numerous Civil War groups, acquired Conrad's papers in the 1980's. Annotation c.
