History of the Nineteenth Army Corps

"History of the Nineteenth Army Corps" by Richard B. Irwin is a late 19th-century historical record that recounts the story of the Nineteenth Army Corps during the American Civil War. This book tells about the important battles, the planning that went into them, and the hardships these Union soldiers faced, focusing on their courage, never giving up, and how they planned their attacks. Irwin, who once served as a high-ranking officer in the Corps, explains why it's important to remember the Nineteenth Army Corps, even though other groups might be more famous for major battles. He promises to look as far back as the Corps' beginnings, describe everything that happened until it ended, and share not only stories of bravery but also what life was like for the soldiers, remembering those who died for the Union. The story will take place in important places like New Orleans and Vicksburg, showing how the Corps fit into the bigger picture of the war.
