The Second Vermont Volunteer Infantry Regiment of the Old Vermont Brigade saw its first combat at the Battle of Bull Run and fought on to Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. This book views the war from the eyes of the junior officers, noncommissioned officers, and privates that made up the regiment, and draws from their service, pension and court-martial records and personal letters and diaries to portray the men as they were in battle, on the march, and in camp. Some were heroes, like Private William P. Noyes, awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism at the Battle of Spotsylvania, and others were not, like Private George E. Blowers, publicly executed for desertion. A roster of the 1,858 men who served in the Second Vermont is provided.
