Description
“Borne in Battle” Regimental Book and Eyewitness Accounts of the 123rd New York Volunteer Infantry 12th & 20th Army Corps Transcribed and written by Brad Quinlin & Jason Rusk, with a forward by William (Al) Cormier.
Transcribed from the original, hand-written Regimental Book kept by the 123rd New York Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War and secured in the National Archives in Washington D.C., this book is likely the first time these official military records have ever been put in print.
This unique work combines General’s Orders interwoven with soldier’s letters to provide both a high level and intimate record of their 4 years fighting the War. Their story is told with original wartime photographs held by the Library of Congress, current photographs and chapters describing events they encountered.
Softcover, illustrated, 470 pp.
