Inhaltsangabe

From muster to memorial, a detailed portrait of a regiment and its men
This nonfiction account covers the One Hundred Sixty-First Indiana Volunteer Infantry, tracing its formation, service, and later mustering out after the Spanish-American War. It weaves together official records, personal notes, and the Roll of Honor to illuminate the experiences of soldiers, chaplains, musicians, and hospital staff.

The book highlights the regiment’s time in Cuba, its conduct in camp, and the human stories behind the headlines—from the first fatalities to the men who returned home with memories of a hard-won duty. It also documents the band and drum corps, the daily routines, and the care given to fallen comrades as the unit prepared to rejoin civilian life.
