Toss of a Coin

W. Alan Sprague’s TOSS OF A COIN neatly details the weariness, horror, and randomness of the life of a Union soldier in the Civil War as told through the actual letters of Private W. Arnold Fuller. Readers will sympathize as Fuller repeatedly pitches and packs up his tent, pity as he marches over and over the same terrain, hope to send warm socks as he entreats needs from loved ones, and hold their breath with each heroic response to the battle call of duty.
