A comprehensive regimental history that chronicles the unit’s formation and subsequent deployments, engagements, honors, and organization.

The work includes biographical sketches of colonels and other distinguished officers, descriptions of distinctions borne on uniforms, and records of notable acts of individual gallantry.
