In Lieu of a Draft: A History of the 153rd Pennsylvania Volunteer
Regiment documents the daily chores of camp life and the long hours
spent waiting to engage the enemy, Historian James I. Robertson,
Jr. has noted that soldiers spent "more time in camp than on
marches and in battle combined." This book presents the uncensored
story and explores the deep political divisions within the
regiment. William R. Kiefer, the regiment's historian, admitted
that many incidents recorded in diaries had to be omitted, because
they dealt with "certain personal matters," offensive to some of
the survivors, but which admittedly "would otherwise have added
relish to the stories." Kiefer also had to exclude material he felt
was "heavily tainted with odium cast upon certain officers" and
"written in such partisan style" that the reader would find it
unacceptable. The battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg are
retold through the eyes of the 153rd volunteers as only they could
have seen and experienced them. Every effort has been made to
present this story as a chronological narrative of their service.
