  • 137th New York History (and Battle of Wauhatchie stuff too)

    Gents,

    Here's a link to a good capsule of the service of the 137th:



    Best to all!

    - - - Updated - - -

    In addition to the website, I ordered two books last night. Ivan recommended:

    "The Shipwreck of Their Hopes: The Battles for Chattanooga" by Peter Cozzens

    Additionally, I got:

    "Fields of Fame & Glory: Col. David Ireland & 137th New York Volunteers" by David Cleutz

    This thread is stone soup, gents! Got a recommendation? Throw it out!
