"""Nothing epitomized how Civil War soldiers carried their regimental esprit de corps into the postwar years like the publication of a unit history. In the case of the 17th Connecticut Infantry, former private William Warren assumed the role of regimental historian and amassed a great body of material to write a book. Although his book was never published, Warren's thirteen-volume manuscript was preserved at the Bridgeport History Center. Now, Carolyn Ivanoff has used the Warren materials and others to present an in-depth account of the 17th's part in the campaign and battle of Gettysburg. Much of it is told in the soldiers' own words, drawn from the Warren archives. Profusely illustrated with hundreds of images of the soldiers and the places where they fought and suffered, We Fought at Gettysburg is an astonishingly comprehensive examination of one regiment's part in the war's greatest battle.""--Mark H. Dunkelman, author of Brothers One and All: Esprit de Corps in a Civil War Regiment"
