The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment, 1861-1865
Author: Paul G. Zeller
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786443456
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
The many regiments that fought in the Civil War each had their own stories to tell about what they saw, smelled, tasted, heard and felt while serving in war. The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment saw its first combat at the Battle of Bull Run and fought on to Lee's surrender. This richly illustrated work draws from service, pension and court-martial records, and personal letters and diaries to portray the junior officers, noncommissioned officers, and privates of the regiment as they were in battle, on the march, and in camp. Some were heroes, like Private William W. Noyes, awarded the Medal of Honor, and others were not, like Private George E. Blowers, executed for desertion. A roster of the 1,858 men who served in the regiment is provided.

The Vermont Brigade in the Seven Days
Author: Paul G. Zeller
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476676615
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
The Vermont Brigade, sometimes referred to as the "First Vermont Brigade" or the "Old Brigade," fought its first full-brigade engagement in the Seven Days' battles. The leaders, as well as the rank and file, were inexperienced in warfare, but through sheer grit and determination they made a name for themselves as one of the hardest-fighting units in the Army of the Potomac. Using soldiers' letters, diaries, and service and pension records, this book gives a soldier's-eye-view of the Virginia summer heat, days of marching with very little rest or nourishment, and the fear and exhilaration of combat. Also included are the stories of 29 men that were wounded or killed and how the tragedies affected their families.

Civil War Letters and Diary: Charles Roahr 105th O.
Author: Charles Roahr
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781482614411
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
In August of 1862 Charles Roahr, a cooper and father of three sons from the small town of Petersburg, Ohio, enlisted, because of strong political feelings, in the Union Army. His letters home and his diary along with letters from his family and friends bare the real experience, concerns, tragedy and even humor of an ordinary soldier and the folks on the home front.The letters and the diary have been transcribed as closely as possible like they were written-line by line, page by page. Charles' spelling and grammar were problematic. There was very little punctuation.So, as the reader you must be patient. It may be difficult, at first, to follow the writings themselves with his particular pronunciations and lingo. Granted, editing may have made the content of these letters and diary easier to read but Charles' personality and identity would have been edited too. When sources were available, people, places and incidents have been referenced to expand the characters and venues involved from just names, to unique personalities and specific events.
