Regimental History of the 83rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment best known for helping Col. Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine hold the flank at the Battle of Gettysburg. Originally printed right after the close of the War, in 1866.
This is a “photographic reprint” – meaning that an original edition of the book was scanned and this edition was printed from those scans – not reset in modern type. The end result is a book that retains much of the “feel” of the original.
“Its slimness notwithstanding, this is one of the better regimental histories that appeared immediately after the war; author recounts many experiences of regimental members during the campaigns in the East.” – Nevins Civil War Book Review
