History of the 51st Indiana Veteran Volunteer Indiana Regiment William Ross Hartpence

This greatly detailed book is the complete History of the 51st Indiana Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment in America's Civil War. The Regiment was one of the most active of the War, involved in the major engagements of the War's Western arena. The Regiment's service was more lengthy than many, beginning in 1861, not mustered out until early 1866. The history, written in relaxed, easy reading, enjoyable style, is an astounding eyewitness description of daily life of individual soldiers, and just as often of people, cities, and countryside around them, during the years of America's Civil War. This volume also includes, as nearly as the author was able to assemble, the names of all Union soldiers who fought in the 51st Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment.
