Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Twenty Third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Birney´s Zouaves: Three Months and Three Years Service, Civil War 1861-1865 This publication is not a history of the Civil War, nor does it intend to show how battles should have been fought, but is a plain recital of the life of the Twenty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers, compiled from diaries and personal recollections of its survivors, with references from Bates´ History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, published by the State of Pennsylvania, and the United States Rebellion Records. Meetings of the various companies have been held from time to time, at which not only the history of the regiment has been gone over carefully, but the individual record of the officers and men, so that a complete and truthful story of the old command should appear in this volume. Every effort was made to obtain the photos of the officers and men that were killed in action, but it was found many never had a photo taken, so that of the 126 killed, but 56 photos of those men who died, that the nation might live, were secured. In addition to these photos it was deemed proper to insert the photos of the general officers under whom the command served, as well as the Officers and Council of Administration of the Survivors´ Organization, and other members of the regiment. This book is not published to be sold by agents to the general public, but for distribution to its survivors and friends at its cost value. The Survivors´ Association gives due acknowledgment to the State of Pennsylvania for its liberality, under recent Acts of the Assembly, in its purchase of four hundred copies for distribution to the various public libraries. Thanks are extended to the survivors of the Old Command for their valuable assistance in the preparation of this work of love, which the secretary not only deemed an honor, but a pleasant duty in its compilation.
