Absolutely fascinating deep dive into Pennsylvania’s Civil War contributions! These volumes are packed with invaluable details on regiments and soldiers—perfect for history buffs and genealogists. While the condition shows wear (some loose pages, chipped edges, and a missing map), the content remains rich and well-preserved. A must-have for anyone researching Civil War history or tracing ancestors who served. The sheer depth of Samuel Bates’ work makes these volumes worth it despite the flaws. Highly recommend for serious collectors!
