This book is the first in a series which will feature the colonels of the Union Army in the Civil War. Most of them were citizen soldiers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Motivated by patriotic enthusiasm and personal ambition but often lacking any real military expertise, they nevertheless offered their services in defense of the Union. Through photographs and biographical sketches their lives are now being remembered. This volume documents the colonels who commanded regiments from the six New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Hunt does it again,
This review is from: Colonels in Blue: Union Army Colonels of the Civil War: the Mid-atlantic States: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia (Hardcover)
An essential referance for any Civil War Library. The amount of facts and photos will not be found in any other work. Hopefully Mr. Hunt will come out with the other volumes in the series on a regular and shorter time frame. Kudos and thankyou Mr. Hunt.

This review is from: Colonels in Blue: Union Army Colonels of the Civil War: the Mid-atlantic States: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia (Hardcover)
This book, as well as the others in the series, are an essential need in every Civil War historian's personal library. Whether you are a professional historian or a novice, this book is a must. No library is complete without it. Buy them all and buy the others as they come out. Roger Hunt has done a masterful job once again.
