The 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry fought in some of most bitterly contested battles of the war: Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Atlanta just to name a few. The sturdy Ohioans gained a fine reputation as a fighting regiment with the hard fighting Army of the Tennessee. Serving under commanders such as Sherman and Grant throughout the war, the 57th Ohio campaigned and fought throughout the South during its lengthy service, marching with Sherman to the sea and through the Carolinas before taking part in the Grand Review in May 1865. This volume, written by Robert J. Van Dorn and edited by Dan Masters, presents the complete history of this celebrated regiment through the words and images of the men in the ranks. Lavishly illustrated with more than 60 war time images, many published here for the first time, the 57th Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry fills an important void in the pantheon of Ohio's Civil War literature and in the broader study of the Western Theater.
