The story of the 85th Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War began with being shamed at Seven Pines to ultimately playing a key role in Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. In between, there was disease, adventure in North Carolina, bombardment around Charleston, and missed opportunities between Richmond and Petersburg. This work, filled with primary source quotations from the participants, chronicles the will and determination of a Union regiment that hailed from the area of southwestern Pennsylvania made famous two generations earlier by the Whiskey Rebellion, a challenge to federal authority seventy years before Fort Sumter.
This, the first of three projected volumes, covers the years 1861 to 1863. Volume Two will cover 1864 to 1865, and Volume Three will contain biographies of both officers and soldiers.
Extensively illustrated throughout with period photographs and drawings, as well as eighteen maps, timeline, and detailed footnotes.

Oct 6, 2019I enjoyed reading your book about the 85th Regiment but I also like the spacing between lines making it easier for an older person to read. There is so much more to learn about the Civil War besides the battles.Your book made me feel the frustration and the hardships of the soldiers. There lack of food and sometimes lack of shelter, the diseases they suffered, and how a simple injury could end up in death. The letters you included in your book showed how hard family life was. The heart ache they felt when hearing there man would be coming home and finding out he had been shot or died from an illness sometimes a few days before his furlough. I enjoyed reading about the battles in the Folly Beach area since I have vacationed there several times. I am looking forward to reading Volume 2 and 3.
