Colonels of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin

Featuring the Colonels of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. By Roger D. Hunt. Published by McFarland & Company, Inc., Jefferson, North Carolina, 2017. Soft covers. 306 pages, illustrated, index, and bibliography. New condition. An invaluable reference source that was compiled by one of the top photographic historians in the country, my old friend and colleague, Roger D. Hunt.

This superb book is the sixth in a series done by Mr. Hunt that documents the lives of Union army colonels through the use of biographical sketches, and known photographs and engravings many of which are being published for the first time! An indispensable reference work on Union regimental commanders from these mid western states of the Union that should be on the shelf of every Union Civil War collector.

"Hunt's work sets a fine example for serious researchers to follow...a definitive biographical dictionary of many of the lesser known leaders of the Civil War." Source: Civil War News
