Description:The history of the Forty-Second New York Infantry, Second Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, from 1861-1864 written in the first-person. It begins with Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers and ends at the dedication of their monument at Gettysburg. In between it follows their campaigns through hell; Ball's Bluff, the Peninsula Campaign, The Seven Days' Battles, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Bristoe Station, Mine Run, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, Petersburg and the forgettable day at the Weldon Railroad where many solders were captured and sent to Andersonville Prison. There is a fourteen-page color-section on the re-activated regiment in the North-South Skirmish Association. The author captures the struggle with the heat, the cold, the lack of food and equipment, the forced marches, the crippling diseases, the lice, the ticks and the chiggers that infested them, the moans of the wounded begging to be put out of their misery, the gastly sights and odors of dismembered and bloody corpses and the burial parties. This is why the 42nd New York Infantry was honored as one of the top 300 fighting units in the Civil War.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
