All for the Union is the eloquent and moving diary of Elisha
Hunt Rhodes, who enlisted into the Union Army as a private in 1861
and left it four years later as a 23-year-old lieutenant colonel
after fighting hard and honorably in battles from Bull Run to
Appomattox. Anyone who heard these diaries excerpted on the PBS-TV
series The Civil War will recognize his accounts of those
campaigns, which remain outstanding for their clarity and detail.
Most of all, Rhodes’s words reveal the motivation of a common
Yankee foot soldier, an otherwise ordinary young man who endured
the rigors of combat and exhausting marches, short rations, fear,
and homesickness for a salary of $13 a month and the satisfaction
of giving “all for the union.”
