Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of Milwaukee County Historical Society's coveted Gambrinus Prize for the best book-length contribution to Milwaukee historiography in 2003 Profiles the courageous 24th Wisconsin Infantry and features the personal stories of members of the 24th, including Arthur McArthur, the father of Gen. Douglas MacArthur Utilizes hundreds of primary sources--letters, diaries, and contemporary newspaper articles Formed in the summer of 1862, the 24th Wisconsin Infantry participated in many major battles of the Western theater, earning a reputation as a brave, hard-fighting unit. Unlike other unit histories, this book makes no attempt, as the author freely admits, to provide "an objective history" of the regiment. Rather, the book digs deeper, following the personal stories of the soldiers themselves, providing hundreds of individual vignettes that, taken together, paint a vivid picture of the life of a Union soldier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Letters Home" is a 196 page book which follows Company A - 24th Wisconsin Infantry through its many Civil war battles in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, primarily using fourteen letters home from Eagle soldiers Pvt. Sidney P. Kline and Pvt. George M. Logan. The book contains images of each original letter, and there are very detailed accounts of Stones River and Chickamauga battles by the soldiers. Young Lieutenant Arthur MacArthur was a gangly teenager in 1862, but by 1863 was the hero of the Regiment as he successfully led this regiment in an assault up Missionary Ridge, bearing the flag in one hand and his pistol in the other. His son, WWII General Douglas MacArthur called him the greatest general in American history. See the war through the eyes of those who were there! It's not only an excellent history book, but is a source of inspiration for future generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recently discovered journal of William Ray of the Seventh Wisconsin is the most important primary source ever of soldier life in one of the war's most famous fighting organizations. No other collection of letters or diaries comes close to it.Two days before his regiment left Wisconsin in 1861, the twenty-three-year-old blacksmith began, as he described it, "to keep account" of his life in what became the "Iron Brigade of the West." Ray's journal encompasses all aspects of the enlisted man's life-the battles, the hardships, the comradeship. And Ray saw most of the war from the front rank. He was wounded at Second Bull Run, again at Gettysburg, and yet a third time in the hell of the Wilderness. He penned something in his journal almost every day-occasionally just a few lines, at other times thousands of words. Ray's candid assessments of officers and strategy, his vivid descriptions of marches and the fighting, and his evocative tales of foraging and daily army life fill a large gap in the historical record and give an unforgettable soldier's-eye view of the Civil War.
