"...Wayne Mahood shines a light on a young life of promise cut short in the bloody, bitter battle between North and South ... The campaign strategies of the battles [Morris] Brown engaged in are described in detail, making this a rewarding read for military history buffs." - Western New York Heritage "[The book] is especially valuable as a first-person documentation of the Civil War and will be of special interest to those who want to learn more about participation by Finger Lakes soldiers in the Civil War." - Life in the Finger Lakes "Fight All Day, March All Night is an unforgettable journey, and a welcome addition to Civil War reading lists." - Midwest Book Review "In drawing together so much information beyond what could be gleaned from the initial source ... Wayne Mahood has not only done a remarkable amount of research, but has also added importantly to the vast store of books on the Civil War that already exists." - Hamilton Alumni Review "Mahood has done a superb job editing the letters, adding extensive notes, and providing informative biographical text ... Fight All Day, March All Night is a 'must' for any Union bookshelf." - Civil War News "The pungent letters of Capt. Morris Brown Jr., of the 126th New York show us that ambition, bravery, and a willingness to scrap with fellow officers was alive and well in the Civil War. An interesting and lively look at the war experiences of a Medal of Honor winner and a survivor of Gettysburg, who gave his life for his country early in the Petersburg campaign. Thanks to Wayne Mahood for bringing these unusual letters to our attention." - Earl J. Hess, author of In the Trenches at Petersburg: Field Fortifications and Confederate Defeat
