Colonels in Blue - Union Army Colonels of the Civil War : The New England States: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont Hardback

Hardback

Description

This book is the first in a series which will feature the colonels of the Union Army in the Civil War.

Most of them were citizen soldiers from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Motivated by patriotic enthusiasm and personal ambition but often lacking any real military expertise, they nevertheless offered their services in defense of the Union.

Through photographs and biographical sketches their lives are now being remembered.

This volume documents the colonels who commanded regiments from the six New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
