The 10th Regiment Kentucky Volunteer Infantry waged battle for the Union for three years during the Civil War, ranging from its home state to Atlanta. This thorough history is filled with personal accounts, including 25 wartime letters written by the men of the regiment and official records of the regiment's activities, which included action at Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge. The regiment began the war with 867 men, suffered a 40 percent casualty rate at Chickamauga, and helped break Confederate lines at Jonesboro. At the end of the war only 140 men staggered home in victory. Features more than 60 photos, 14 maps, rosters and descriptions of the unit's soldiers.

“worthwhile study”—Civil War News; “if you have an affinity for regimental histories and also for Union Kentucky regiments then you’re in for a real treat. Belcher did a tremendous job researching this book. He has an ancestor in the 10th Kentucky Infantry and it’s that kind of personal connection that turns works like these into labors of love.”—Civil War Book Club; “compiling this unit history was clearly a labor of love...a solid contribution”—North & South; “a worthwhile read”—The NYMAS Review.
