Mother, May You Never See the Sights I Have Seen: The Fifty Seventh Massachusetts Veteran Volunteers in the Army of the Potomac 1864-1865

Warren Wilkinson delivers a gutsy, candid, meticulously researched look at the day-to-day existence of a single Federal regiment in the final year of the Civil War. The regiment, the 57th Massachusettes Veteran Volunteers, was destined for hell in that final glamorless year. There is considerable evidence that the 57th suffered the highest percentage of killed and mortally wounded of any Union regiment in the war. 85 photographs; 11 maps.
