Until its soldiers mustered out of service in mid-1864, the Pennsylvania Reserve Division was one of only a few one-state divisions in the Union army. Known as the Pennsylvania Reserves, or simply the Reserves, the division saw action in most of the major battles of the Civil War, including Mechanicsville, New Market Crossroads, Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House. This history chronicles the division's service from its organization in May 1861 through June 1864, when most of its soldiers reached the end of their service commitment. The book includes short biographical sketches, most with photographs, of the Reserves leadership. Throughout, excerpts from letters, journals, diaries, and books from more than 150 members of the Reserves provide a personal perspective on the action and reveal the human side of battle.

ISBN:

Before his martyrdom on the first day at Gettysburg, General John Reynolds commanded the Eighth Pennsylvania Reserves. Here is one of the very best memoirs of those days by one of the boys who was proud to be led by Generals Reynold's, Meade, and McCall. With a wonderful, self-deprecating, dry wit, Alonzo Hill tells the story of "Our Boys" of the Eighth Penn. At the Seven Days' Battle, Second Bull Run, and at Antietam, the Pennsylvania boys fought with distinction and bravery, fought with each other on occasion, and laughed more than they cried. Hill had a keen talent for capturing camp life and the confusion of battle. This is a Civil War memoir that is personal, poignant, and at times hilarious. You'll read it more than once. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.
