โฆ Synopsis
The Union infantrymen were the 1,700 regiments of foot soldiers who became the mainstay of 'Mr Lincoln's Army'. These long-suffering, hard-fighting Yankees from farmsteads, hamlets, and urban centers, saved the Union. Their hopes and fears, joy and sorrow, cowardice and bravery were recorded in diaries, letters, memoirs and legions of histories. Drawing on these narratives, contemporary images and photographs and meticulous archival research, this title provides a vivid account of how the common Union infantryman was recruited and trained, and how he lived and fought. The soldier's struggle was not insignificant - it was to preserve a nation torn asunder, where brother fought against brother.

The American Civil War (1861-1865) was predominantly an infantryman's war. Artillery had improved substantially since 1815 and guns could inflict murderous losses if they had a clear field of fire.
