Dr. Christian Schwartz with the 67th Ohio Volunteers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781508645566)

Christian Hope Schwartz was a Swiss immigrant who arrived on our American shores in 1852 as a twelve-year-old boy. In 1861, he joined the 67th Ohio Volunteer Infantry and was deployed in the eastern theater of the American Civil War. Using documents from the National Archives and letters from his superior officers, a vivid account of his service with the 67th Ohio Volunteer Infantry is told. Christian was with his regiment three and one-half years and during that time he became a prisoner of war and was twice wounded while charging Confederate fortifications. But just as interesting is the story of how he and his comrades lived day-to-day in camp, longing for many common comforts and enduring numerous privations as soldiers in the Union Army.
