More than two hundred Pennsylvania units participated in the American Civil War and of all those units, the 105th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry suffered the second highest loss of life through four years of tragic conflict. Hailing from the lumber region of Western Pennsylvania, the regiment carried the sobriquet of "Wildcats" into action on many famous battlefields. From Fair Oaks to Chancellorsville, Gettysburg to Spotsylvania, "you can trace the marches of the regiment by the graves of its dead. Its work is done, it rests from its labors, the nation lives - the oppressed are free." This is Their Story of courage, devotion, patriotism, leadership, perseverance and survival.

One of the most interesting and compelling descriptions of the battles of Gettysburg and Chancellorsville is found in J.D. Bloodgoods long-forgotten 1893 memoir. Bloodgood was an enlisted private of Company I, of the One Hundred and Forty-first Regiment of Pennsylvania Infantry, promoted to a sergeant, wounded at Gettysburg, Pa., July 2, 1863, and mustered out of the service at the close of the war with a record as a good and efficient soldier. An educated man, his observations and descriptions go beyond battlefield chaos and give you the feeling of what the line soldier and officer experienced. After the war, he revisited Gettysburg and his return is a story in itself. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Using their own words to describe action both on and off the battlefield, he sheds light on the lives of ordinary men: the comparative values of farm and city boys, their motives and concerns, the effect of battle on soldiers and their families, and the suffering that veterans took to the grave. Brandt also looks at soldiers' racial views, illuminating their deepest worries about the war, and at community politics and problems of discipline surrounding this ideologically divided unit.

The Pennsylvania border county of York and its people stood smack in the middle of things - where South met North - in the American Civil War. That war roiled York County from its tip near the capital of Harrisburg to its 40-mile base at the Mason-Dixon Line. Union soldiers moved to the South after seasoning and staging on county soil. Train cars dripping with blood carried many wounded and diseased soldiers back to a mammoth U.S. military hospital on York parkland. Thousands of York County residents donned blue uniforms, and untold scores died. The war marched onto county soil in those terrible days before the Battle of Gettysburg. The four-day Confederate visit drained money, food, supplies, and horseflesh. Soldiers in blue and gray died in fighting at Hanover and Wrightsville. Gettysburg came next, and county residents gathered food and supplies to treat the wounds of battle, a short 30 miles away. In "Civil War Voices from York County, Pa.," Scott L. Mingus Sr. and James McClure use oral histories, letters, diaries, and newspaper accounts to tell the stories of York countians in those bleak days, 150 years ago. They give a vibrant voice to those living, serving, and dying in a border county in this most tumultuous period in America's history.

This is the never before told story of hundreds of American who went to war in defense of their beliefs, to seek adventure and to see some of the world beyond their rural Pennsylvania neighborhoods. Developed largely in the words of the soldiers of the 145th Pennsylvania Infantry, Common Men highlights some of the men's lives before the war and then carries the reader through trials and triumphs from enlistment, jubilant send-off, action from Antietam through Gettysburg and casualty. Democracy and the Union are sustained through the action of common men, men not always given the best of orders. -- back cover.
