A court of inquiry, appointed by an order from head quarters o-f the Department of the Cumberland, reported, after a careful examination, that the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry was immediately overpowered.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Eighty-Seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers: Prepared From Official Records, Diaries, and Other Authentic Sources of Information HE plan of this work is to tell the story of the Eighty seventh Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, from the time it entered the service, in 1861, to the end of the great con fliot for the preservation of the Union. The first chapters de scribe how the regiment was recruited and organized, and how the soldiers went to war. Then follows a mental picture of the daily life and acts of the men, portraying their sturdy courage and devotion to the country and the flag, their experience in camp, on the march, in battle, in the prison pen, and how the returning soldiers were welcomed home. To the comrades of the regiment, it is hoped the work will present a stereoscopic view, a panorama of their career in the army, which will take them back in memory to the time of their early manhood, cause their pulses to thrill, and help them to live over again those eventful years of the past. For the non military reader, the aim has been to make the history interest ing, instructive and entertaining, and show how the soldier of the Civil War served and fought and endured to prevent the dismemberment of the Union. A comprehensive description of all the engagements has not been attempted, but the part taken by the regiment in every skirmish and battle in which it participated, is given in detail, as well as an account of its long marches, during the entire period of its service. The project to prepare and publish the history of the regi ment originated at the reunion of 1897. It culminated in areality, in 1900, through the enterprise of Captain W. H Lanius, of Company I, whose earnest support and intelligent judgment made it possible for the appearance of the work.

Book Description
Excerpt from Soldiers True: The Story of the One Hundred and Eleventh Regiment Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, and of Its Campaigns in the War, for the Union 1861 1865 This book is not a history of the civil war, nor does it contain an exhaustive account of any one of its campaigns. It is the story of but one of the hundreds of regiments which fought that war through to final victory. This particular regiment does not claim precedence of service or merit over any other, and any attempt to assume that it did would be promptly condemned by its survivors. It was simply one battalion of Soldiers True, who, with their honored comrades from Pennsylvania and every other loyal State, endeavored to perform unostentatiously and faithfully the work that was assigned to them. And yet the book is history. The actual story of the great war can never be really known until the service of each participating regiment and battery and ship is narrated; and, therefore, the present volume is believed to contain an essential and important part of the history of the American nation in the most momentous crisis of its existence. The work was undertaken at the earnest and unanimous request of the survivors of the command, and has been indorsed by them as the official history of the regiment. But it was written not for them and their friends only, but for all readers who are interested in civil war studies. Its preparation has been a labor of love, and such patience and care have attended it as the author could command amid the daily exactions of an important city pastorate.
