About This Book

A regimental history recounts the raising and service of a midwar volunteer infantry regiment, detailing recruitment and organization, training and movements from state rendezvous to the Virginia theater, seasons of camp life and river transport, engagement in late campaigns including siege operations, and the regiment's final muster out. The narrative combines the author's recollections and official company and company records to describe daily routines, drills, marches, and combat experiences, and is supplemented by statistical appendices such as tables of gain and loss, rosters and muster rolls, lists of deaths, and a final roster.
