On a single day, scattered veterans of the 187th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry came together to remember, record and reclaim their wartime brotherhood. These men came home changed. Report Of The First Annual Meeting Of The Survivors' Association Of The 187th Regiment, P.V.I. captures that first civil war veterans reunion in their own formal words: a union army reunion report drawn from the veterans association proceedings of their newly formed organisation. Emerging from the American Civil War era, it reveals how union army veterans shaped memory, honoured fallen comrades and tried to make sense of what they had lived through as a Pennsylvania civil war regiment. For readers today, this is a compact civil war regimental history and a vivid civil war primary source. Civil war researchers tracing the movements of the 187th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry find in it a key reference, and family historians value it as a genealogy research resource, while collectors recognise its place in any serious union regimental histories collection. Names, anecdotes and official resolutions sit side by side, offering rare insight into how survivors chose to present their shared past and preserve it for posterity. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
