“This early compilation retains value for its storehouse of data. Extraordinary patriotic, as most publications of the 1860s were, it offers a generalized narrative of the war and the involvement of Maine organizations in various battles. The authors provide details on the whereabouts and engagements of various regiments, battalions, and batteries and give lists of field and staff officers as well as company officers. The coverage includes 1^st-5^th Infantry, sharpshooters, 1^st Cavalry, light artillery units, artillery batteries, 16^th-30^th Infantry, 2^nd Cavalry, 31^st and 32^nd Cavalry, 1^st D.C. Cavalry, and 1^st Veteran Infantry.”
