Experience firsthand the journey of this Civil War Marine in this all-new volume documenting the life of Bandfield, edited by his descendants, Troy A. Hillman and Joan (Hillman) Hill. Also included in this volume is a biography of his life, family photos, several letters, perspectives on his life as seen through pension files, and finally, the brief "diary" of Pvt. Edwin C. McKee, fellow Marine, who recorded a month and a half of his voyage on the Vanderbilt, and whose voice is also preserved in these pages.
