“commendable...excellent...valuable”—The Civil War News; “book is of the highest production quality”—The Civil War Courier; “fine job of historical detective work in finding and using the scant documentation and records left by this unit and its soldiers...this fine book will appeal to Civil War enthusiasts and military genealogists”—Military Heritage Magazine; “The manuscript is not only well researched but also extremely well written. The narrative has a crispness and clarity often missing in similar endeavors that I have reviewed.”—Ted Alexander, Senior Staff Historian, Antietam National Battlefield Park.
