History of the Nineteenth Army Corps by Richard B. Irwin
"History of the Nineteenth Army Corps" by Richard B. Irwin is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the formation, campaigns, and experiences of the Nineteenth Army Corps, a significant unit of Union soldiers during the American Civil War. The narrative likely covers various battles and logistical challenges faced by the corps, focusing on the themes of sacrifice, perseverance, and military strategy. The opening of the text
introduces the purpose of the narrative, highlighting the importance of documenting the history of the Nineteenth Army Corps, which is often overshadowed by other corps known for their prominent battles. Irwin, a former Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General of the Corps, sets the stage by mentioning the need to recount events from before the formal establishment of the corps to its eventual dissolution. It emphasizes a commitment to capturing not just the valor but also the everyday experiences of the soldiers who served, as well as honoring those who sacrificed their lives in service to the Union. The opening also indicates that the narrative will delve into significant locations and campaigns like New Orleans and Vicksburg, contextualizing the corps' actions within the broader scope of the war.
