From the rear cover
In his insightful biography, Stephen D. Engle provides the first complete portrait of this enigmatic leader and German standard-bearer, showing Sigel to be a disciplined, self-sacrificing idealist who sparked more pride among his fellow emigres, aroused more controversy among Americans, and perhaps enjoyed more admiration -- despite his military shortcomings -- than any other Civil War figure. Shedding light on the vast cultural dimensions of the war, Yankee Dutchman will fascinate Civil War enthusiasts and German-American scholars alike.
