SynopsisThis is the fifth volume in a series documenting the colonels of the Civil War Union army who did not advance beyond that rank. Presented in this volume are the colonels who commanded regiments from Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. A brief biographical sketch of each is included, providing a synopsis of each one's Civil War service followed by pertinent details of their life history. Accompanying the biographical sketches are photographs of most of the colonels., This biographical dictionary documents the Union army colonels who commanded regiments from Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. Entries are arranged first by state and then by regiment, and provide a biographical sketch of each colonel focusing on his Civil War service. Many of the colonels covered herein never rose above that rank, failing to win promotion to brigadier general or brevet brigadier general, and have therefore received very little scholarly attention prior to this work.
