Civil War Soldiers from Brunswick County, Virginia, was written by Dr. William M. Pritchett, a prominent genealogist and Civil War historian who grew up near Danieltown, Brunswick County, Virginia. For seven years beginning in 1972, the Brunswick Times-Gazette published Dr. Pritchett's articles on approximately 1,140 soldiers and other individuals from Brunswick County who contributed to the Civil War effort. Following their publication, Dr. Pritchett received a tremendous amount of additional information that he used to update the stories. Although he compiled the stories into a 2,300-page book, it remained unpublished at his death.

His son, John W. Pritchett, a Colonial Virginia genealogist, has now published the book. Printed on 8 « x 11, 50 lb. paper, the attractive volume is Smyth-sewn and has a Roxite cloth hard cover with title on both the spine and front cover. The book has a full-name index, and an index of community, church, and family cemeteries is also included.

Soldiers includes not only a topic about each of the 1,140 soldiers but also the history of several Confederate Army units in which Brunswick County men served: Allen's Artillery, Brunswick Grays, Brunswick Blues, Brunswick Guards, Coleman's Artillery, Ebenezer Grays, Co. C, 44th Virginia Infantry Reserves, and the 12th Infantry Regiment.

Also in the book is the group photograph of many of the surviving Brunswick County Confederate veterans taken in 1908 at the reunion of Confederate veterans. More than 30 of the individuals in the picture are identified.
