Martin Husk spent an hour and a half discussing his
book "The 111th New York Volunteer Infantry" with us. While the
111th may not be a fabled regiment like the 20th Maine or 6th
Wisconsin, it's service during the war and at Gettysburg was no
less full of adventure and Hell.
Part
of Willard's "Harpers Ferry Cowards", the 111th NY helped stop
Barksdale's Charge, endured the bombardment before Pickett's Charge
and helped repel what was left of the Pettigrew-Trimble part of the
assault.
Martin did a great job researching the men and events
of the 111th NY. The detail in this book is perfect for the student
of the Civil War who wants to get a feel for what a soldier's
experience was during the war. Get your copy here
