Recounting the remarkable odyssey of the 82nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry through the Second Manassas, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Chattanooga, as well as the Atlanta, Savannah, and Carolina campaigns, this Civil War regimental history reconstructs the fascinating lives of six of its soldiers whose stories were little known or long forgotten. What is the real story behind a poignant Walt Whitman poem? How did an American treasure barely escape destruction and disappear for more than half a century? What obscure congressman was a groundbreaker in admitting African Americans to West Point? What influential late nineteenth-century Ohio politician was consigned to historical oblivion? These and other tales from the lives of brave men who served in the 82nd Ohio provide compelling reading.
