CIVIL WAR REGIMENTAL HISTORY VOLUME 3 IS FINISHED
This 585-page book is part three of a three part series and follows The Iron Men of
Indiana's 44th Regiment, Part 1: Biographies and Regimental Statistics and The Voice
of Indiana's 44th Regiment, Part 2: Formation and Photos.
Part 3 is an intimate, firsthand account in the citizen-soldiers' uncensored words,
including those offensive to our modern ear, drawn from letters, diaries, newspaper
accounts, military reports, memoirs, and out-of-copyright books covering the Battles of
Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Stones River and Chickamauga. It then follows the soldiers into
their Provost Marshal duties in Chattanooga.
"Through the voices which you've collected and compiled, you've allowed us to
know them as more than a regiment. You've allowed us to know them as people caught up
in something much bigger than themselves. You've allowed us to see them at their best
and, yes, sometimes at much less than their best. Throughout you've let their voices
give us an honest picture of their patriotism, their courage, their foibles, and their
weaknesses. They are real people."
This series of books has been a labor of love for the past 20 years.
The book is $41, including postage. Please contact me via email (CW44thIndiana(a)aol.com)
for additional information.
