The 96th Pennsylvania Volunteers infantry regiment was formed in 1861 - its ranks filled by nearly 1,200 Irish and German immigrants from Schuylkill County. Drawing on letters, diaries, memoirs and other accounts, this comprehensive history documents their combat service from the point of view of the rank-and-file soldier, along with their views on the war, slavery, emancipation and politics.
