Blooding the Regiment: An Account of the 22d Wisconsin's Long and Difficult Apprenticeship

by Richard H. Groves

This is a rare and comprehensive study that combines combat, political, and administrative history. It shows the reader not only how this regiment fought, but also how it was administered, for better or for worse, how commissions were gained and lost, and how under the hammer blows of repeated battles, this unit eventually became one of the Union's most steadfast, reliable fighting formations.
