Book excerpt: More than two hundred Pennsylvania units participated in the American Civil War and of all those units, the 105th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry suffered the second highest loss of life through four years of tragic conflict. Hailing from the lumber region of Western Pennsylvania, the regiment carried the sobriquet of "Wildcats" into action on many famous battlefields. From Fair Oaks to Chancellorsville, Gettysburg to Spotsylvania, "you can trace the marches of the regiment by the graves of its dead. Its work is done, it rests from its labors, the nation lives - the oppressed are free." This is Their Story of courage, devotion, patriotism, leadership, perseverance and survival.
