About This Book

The narrative chronicles the organization, training, marches, engagements, and daily camp life of a volunteer infantry regiment during its term of service. It focuses on the regiment’s role in campaigns, sieges, skirmishes, and routine duties, giving particular attention to movements, hardships, and losses rather than broad army strategy. The author relies largely on contemporaneous notes from service, supplemented by comrades’ diaries and official papers, and includes muster-out rolls and personnel records to document casualties and service details.
