In the Civil War, one quarter of the Union army was foreign born, with 200,000 native Germans fighting to save their adopted homeland and prove their patriotism. This included many members of the 107th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, a fearless outfit that proved its mettle despite taking heavy losses in Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Combing through diaries, letters, and unpublished memoirs, the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Marching Home: Union Veterans and Their Unending Civil War offers this revelatory history that re-creates the immigrant experience at the heart of America's national struggle.
