The History of the Twenty-ninth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry in the Late War of the Rebellion

"The History of the Twenty-ninth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry" by William H. Osborne is a story from the late 1800's about how the Twenty-ninth Regiment was created, what they did, and how they helped during the Civil War. The book starts by thanking people who helped put it together. It explains how Massachusetts set up this group of soldiers and the excitement people felt as they joined to fight. The author discusses the laws Massachusetts made to get soldiers and what the different groups were that came together to make the Twenty-Ninth Regiment. These starting chapters are important because they teach the reader about when the soldiers signed up and why their work for the Union during the war matters.
