Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. A facsimile reprint Very Good; A facsimile limited Edition reprint by Morningside House - 1 of 750 (1984) of the G. P. Putnam's Sons 1896 Edition. VERY GOOD condition with no dust jacket as issued. No marks noted in text. Binding is tight and square. xvii, 900 pages : illustrations, maps (some folde…d) ; 24 cm. . . . . . A detailed unit history that traces the organization, campaigns, and command changes of the Fifth Corps from its origins in 1861 through Appomattox. Originally published in 1896 and reissued in a high-quality facsimile by Morningside Bookshop in 1984, the volume offers an almost day-by-day narrative built from official reports, correspondence, and personal observations, giving particular attention to the corps? role in major battles such as the Peninsula Campaign, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Petersburg. Powell, a veteran of the corps, writes with a precise, documentary style that balances operational detail - march routes, orders of battle, casualty figures - with clear explanations of how decisions at corps and army level played out on the firing line. The Morningside edition preserves the full text and extensive appendices of the original, including orders of battle, statistical summaries, biographical sketches, and a thorough index, making it especially useful for researchers, genealogists, and serious Civil War students. This thick, roughly 900-page hardcover reprint is widely regarded as one of the standard reference works on the Fifth Corps, frequently cited in modern studies of the Army of the Potomac and in National Park Service and scholarly bibliographies of Union unit histories.
