Hambucken: 'Union Soldier of the American Civil War: A Visual Reference'
Union Soldier of the American Civil War; A Visual Reference
As the year 1862 began, the war that most Americans thought would only last a few months showed no signs of ending. Hundreds of thousands of men across the divided nation enlisted in state volunteer regiments that poured into the sprawling military camps around Washington, D.C., Richmond, Virginia, and other strategic locations. Within a year, thousands of these courageous men had lost their lives on bloody battlefields or died in disease-ridden encampments. This book provides a glimpse of the lives, weapons, and equipment of these soldiers through a collection of artifacts and exacting reproductions.
