Download or read book The 149th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Unit in the Civil War written by Richard E. Matthews and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2007-07-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 149th Pennsylvania saw its one day of glory on July 1, 1863, when this young and untried regiment staged a magnificent defense at McPherson's farm. Although this bright promise quickly faded into more typical regimental experience, the story of the regiment's service under the indomitable Joshua Chamberlain remains worth telling. Drawing on the service records of more than 800 soldiers as well as diaries, letters, and other primary souces, this book details the 149th's battles from brigade to company level, from the charges at Gettsyburg to the assault at Petersburg. Focus is on the development, mood and character of a regiment as it undergoes changes in leadership, loss of reliable veterans and the increased individual desire for survival as brutal battles take their toll on mind and body. More than 100 photographs enhance the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Battle of Gettysburg is often remembered for Chamberlain's dramatic defense of Little Round Top, Pickett and Pettigrew's tragic charge, and the stand of the "Iron Brigade," less-remembered units like the 151st Pennsylvania were also crucial in the Civil War's most famous battle. The 151st lost over 72 percent of its men to death, wounds, or capture, the second-highest-percentage loss of all Federal units at the battle. This is the account of that courageous unit and its role in this decisive moment in American history.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Seventy-Eighth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry The 78th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry Volunteers comprises two different organizations. The first organization was mustered into the United States Service October 12, 1861, and was mustered out November 4, 1864. The connection between the two organizations is two-fold. First, the new organization succeeded to the name and number, 78th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry Volunteers. Second, the men who served in the first organization, and whose term of service had not expired when the old regiment was mustered out, and the men of the old regiment who had re-enlisted were transferred to Companies A and B of the new regiment, and comprised nearly the whole of these two companies in the new organization. To avoid confusion, we have made two distinct rolls, and the names of the men who served in both organizations will appear in both rolls, and the date of muster will show how far each one participated in the services and honors of each organization. If this Regimental History were designed only for surviving comrades an outline sketch would be sufficient, and each comrade could, from the store-house of his own memory, fill up the gaps; but, being for all comrades, their descendants and the people of the State, we deem it wise to explain military terms and give sketches of everyday camp life. If this history were written with special regard for literary beauty, or, as a specimen of interesting narrative, we could blend fact and fiction in such a way as to make it more interesting to our readers; but, being designed for an accurate record of facts, all fiction, however interesting, must be excluded.

Download or read book Collis Zouaves written by Edward J. Hagerty and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Led by the enthralling and controversial colonel Charles H. T. Collis, the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry was in many ways unique among the regiments serving in the Union Army. In Collis' Zouaves, Edward J. Hagerty reconstructs the Civil War experiences of this unusual group of soldiers who embraced the flamboyant uniform style made famous by the French army's Zouaves. Recruited in the summer of 1862 from Philadelphia and surrounding counties, the regiment battled Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley campaign and went on to participate in many of the major battles of the war, including Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Petersburg.
