Here's a link to a very positive review of Hampton Newsome, John Horn and John Selby, Civil War Talks: Further Reminiscences of George S. Bernard & His Fellow Veterans (Charlottesville, VA: University Press of Virginia, 2012). The review is by Brett Schulte in his splendid blog, "The Siege of Petersburg Online." Brett calls Civil War Talks "one of the most important new books on the war to come out in the last decade." Civil War Talks is the sequel to George S. Bernard, ed., War Talks of Confederate Veterans (Petersburg, VA: Fenn & Owen, 1892). Civil War Talks was ready for publication in 1896 but disappeared. It turned up in 2004 at a flea market, was purchased for $50 and sold to the Museum of Western Virginia History for $15,000. Here's the link.
