Colonels of Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee

Featuring the Colonels of Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. By Roger D. Hunt. Published by McFarland & Company, Inc., Jefferson, North Carolina, 2014. Soft covers, 7 x 10. 246 pages, illustrated, index, and bibliography. Brand new condition. An invaluable reference source that was compiled by one of the top photographic historians in the country, my old friend and colleague, Mr. Roger D. Hunt.

This superb book done by Mr. Hunt 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 specific states of the Union that should be on the shelf of every Union Civil War collector.

This biographical dictionary documents the Union army colonels who commanded regiments from Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. Entries are arranged first by state and then by regiment, and provide a biographical sketch of each colonel focusing on his Civil War service. Many of the colonels covered herein never rose above rank of colonel, failing to gain promotion to brigadier general or brevet brigadier general during the Civil War, and have therefore received very little scholarly attention prior to this work.

"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
