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. Includes the personal stories of members of the 24th, including Arthur McArthur, the father of General Douglas MacArthur.

William J. K. Beaudot is the co-author of two books on Civil War history: "In the Bloody Railroad Cut at Gettysburg" and "An Irishman in the Iron Brigade." He has also written several articles on the Civil War for publication.

The Great War Meeting; The Volunteers; Camp Sigel; Chaplin Hills-Perryville; Between Battles; Stones River; A Long Winter Camp; Chickamauga; Missionary Ridge; Another Woeful Winter; Onward to Atlanta; The Final Battles.
