Recommended Reading: 55th North Carolina in the Civil War: A History And Roster. Description:
Drawing on letters, memoirs, diaries and recollections, it depicts the Civil War through the eyes of the soldiers, enhancing
modern-day understanding of what it was like to fight for the Confederate States of America. Continued below...
While providing information on the battles in which the 55th North Carolina
took part (including the little known Suffolk campaign), the main focus of the work is the everyday life of the men—the
ever-present influence of politics and religion as well as the effects of disease and combat. Appendices provide a breakdown
of the companies in the regiment; the regimental roster; a list of men who died of disease; and a record of the men from the
55th who were killed in battle. Contemporary photographs are also included.

1864, he was serving as a lieutenant in the 55th Regiment North Carolina Troops. Continued below…
The personal letters
of this soldier, supplemented by the editor’s overview of the events and actions of the regiment, offer a view of the
common soldier as well as battlefield and camp culture. The letters also reveal, among other things, how this former schoolteacher
urged his fellow soldiers forward at Gettysburg
despite a sense that the cause was lost. About the Author: Jeffrey M. Girvan is a social studies professional development
specialist with Prince William County Schools in Virginia.

Reading: Brigades of Gettysburg: The Union and Confederate Brigades at the Battle
of Gettysburg (Hardcover) (704 Pages). Description: While
the battle of Gettysburg is certainly the most-studied battle
in American history, a comprehensive treatment of the part played by each unit has been ignored. Brigades of Gettysburg
fills this void by presenting a complete account of every brigade unit at Gettysburg
and providing a fresh perspective of the battle. Using the words of enlisted men and officers, the author-well-known Civil
War historian Bradley Gottfried-weaves a fascinating narrative of the role played by every brigade at the famous three-day
battle, as well as a detailed description of each brigade unit. Continued below...
Organized by order of battle, each brigade is covered in complete and exhaustive detail: where it fought,
who commanded, what constituted the unit, and how it performed in battle. Innovative in its approach and comprehensive in
its coverage, Brigades of Gettysburg is certain to be a classic and indispensable reference for the battle of Gettysburg
for years to come.
