| Summary | "History of the Fifty-Seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry" is a historical account compiled by James M. Martin and others in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the service and experiences of the Fifty-Seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War, detailing their organization, battles, and daily life as soldiers. It provides a thorough examination of the regiment's contributions to key campaigns and includes personal anecdotes that bring the history to life, making it a valuable resource for those interested in military history and the specific experiences of Civil War soldiers. The beginning of the book sets the stage for the regiment's formation and early activities. It describes the recruitment of soldiers from various counties in Pennsylvania and their initial training at Camp Curtin. Following their mustering into service, the regiment faces the challenges of camp life, disease, and the harsh realities of military duty. The narrative conveys a sense of urgency and camaraderie among the soldiers as they prepare for their deployment to Washington, D.C., and eventually into the fray of the Civil War, against a backdrop of growing conflict and expectations of glory in battle.
