From the author of Born To Serve, The Major A. G. Happer Story comes the engaging history of Major Happer's regiment, the Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, The "Bloody Eleventh." One of the hardest fighting and most famous regiments in the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. The regimental Chaplain, The Reverend William H. Locke had faithfully kept a diary of the daily events of the regiment. Soon after the war, he wrote the official Regimental History.Lost in time, the story had passed into legend with the men who lived it. Author Jim Douglas has brought it back to life. Keeping Reverend Locke's easy to read story as it was written, he has masterfully inserted his own augmentations as warranted. With his addition of over 80 Civil War images and 30 battle maps, the reader can easily follow along where the regiment was, and actually see what the area looked like when the Eleventh was there. As a companion book to Born To Serve, the reader can now see what Major Happer and the rest of the regiment saw. Attack with the Eleventh as they charge into the cornfield at Antietam; face Stonewall Jackson's men again at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. At Gettysburg, go forward with these gallant men on Oak Ridge and stand ready with them on Cemetery Ridge during Pickett's Charge. Struggle in the Wilderness at the Tapp Farm. Assault the Rebel works at Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Hatcher's Run, Weldon Railroad and Petersburg. Relive the war's end with them at Five Forks and the surrender at Appomattox, and fall into step with the proud survivors of the Bloody Eleventh, on their victorious march home.
