History of the Twenty-Third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry: Birney's Zouaves - Three Months & Three Years' Service - Paperback

William J. Wray, who served within the unit, takes up the mantle of Chief Historian in the aftermath of war. In doing so he exhaustively and succinctly gives outsiders far more than a deep glimpse into how the war effected his comrades and - more importantly - what his comrades came to mean to one another. This edition (now sans photographs) served as a comprehensive history of the notable individuals, movements, battles, and actions of the 23rd Pennsylvania Volunteers ('Birney's Zouaves'), including company rosters and detailed segments on each man, conveniently broken up by individual company.
