We Might As Well Die Here The 53rd Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry

We Might as Well Die Here is a descriptive and moving history of a regiment formed and trained to fight a war in which brother fought brother. They came from all walks of life, drawn together by their president to save a constitution they were all willing to die for. The men of the 53d Pennsylvania were the volunteers of 1861: young, na've, and ready to meet their opponent on the field of mortal combat. No time in the American experience were young men transformed from innocence of youth to the brutal ways of war and death so quickly.Myers, Irvin G. is the author of 'We Might As Well Die Here The 53rd Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry', published 2005 under ISBN 9781572493759 and ISBN 1572493755.
