"Perry's Saints; Or, The Fighting Parson's Regiment in the War of the Rebellion" by James Moses Nichols is a historical book that tells the story of the 48th New York State Volunteers, known as "Perry's Saints," during the American Civil War. It starts by explaining the reasons behind the war, especially the big problem of slavery. The story then introduces Colonel James H. Perry, who used to be a preacher but became a soldier, and how he motivated his regiment. The book also talks about how the regiment was formed, the excitement of the soldiers, and how ready they were to fight for the Union cause. Through personal stories and experiences, the author shows us not just the historical events of the war, but also the feelings and emotions of the people who fought in it.
