About This Book

A detailed regimental history traces the unit's formation and recruitment from local communities, its organization and training, and subsequent service in the Civil War, including marches, garrison duty, and combat operations. The narrative integrates official orders, after-action reports, and soldiers' letters and diaries to describe engagements, casualties, and day-to-day logistics. Extensive appendices present rosters, casualty lists, and administrative records, while recurring reflections on morale, civic support, and comradeship highlight the personal costs and communal dimensions of military service.
