This is the story of the men who fought and died in the 72nd New
York Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War. Part of Dan
Sickles' famed Excelsior Brigade, the 72nd N.Y. served in all the
major actions associated with the III Corps, losing one-fourth or
more of the regiment in three different engagements. The 72nd New
York Infantry in the Civil War is a ""brogans-up"" view of the war
told in the words of the men who were there. Drawing on soldier's
letters, diaries, memoirs (many unpublished or obscure) and
official reports, this work follows these men from the exciting
beginnings of recruitment, the boredom and frustrations of life
policing the secessionist countryside of Southern Maryland, through
to the eventual disbanding of the regiment in July of 1864 after
being bled white at Williamsburg, The Peninsula, Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg and the Overland Campaign. The final chapter offers a
brief account of many of the men's lives following the war.
Included in the work are photographs, period illustrations, maps
and an organisational chart. Additionally the roster is arranged by
company with chronology of officers' service. This work is fully
indexed with complete citations and bibliography.
