The 124th New York State Volunteers was one of the great fighting regiments of the Civil War. In this thorough history, the author has used letters, diary entries, and remembrances, many of them previously unpublished, to present a view of the war as the men in the ranks saw it. At Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, Petersburg, and many more battles, the "Orange Blossoms" earned a reputation for sacrifice and bravery, eloquently put into words by Private Henry Howell. As he lay wounded, he described the charge that broke the Confederate line at Spotsylvania--"everyone was borne irresistibly forward. There was no such thing as fail." The book includes a roster of all who served in the regiment and numerous photos of individuals.

The 124th New York Volunteer Infantry, known as the Orange Blossom Regiment, was one of the hardest fighting units in the Army of the Potomac. This unit, which was considered an elite regiment, served in the Third Corps, and lost heavily in the fighting for Devil's Den at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. The regimental commander, Col. Augustus Van Horn Ellis, and his second-in-command, Maj. James Cromwell, were both killed in action that day, after Ellis proclaimed, "The men must see us today." Their final commander, Col. Charles H. Weygant, published a superb regimental history of this fine regiment in 1877. Copes of the original history are very rare. Ironclad Publishing is pleased to have this new addition of Weygant's classic regimental, with a new introduction by historian Garry E Adelman. This replica reprint incorporates all of Weygant's original history, including regimental rosters, and once again makes it available to the general public at an affordable price.
