Brothers One and All: Esprit de Corps in a Civil War Regiment. By Mark H. Dunkelman. (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2004. xii, 344 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-8071-2978-X.)
"'There is one thing that I beleave our regiment as far as I know are agreed in,'" wrote a New York soldier to his wife on January 1, 1863; "'that is to see the war close so that they can go home but we have got on the harness and we are going to keep it on until we see the thing through and no whining'" (p. 228).	1
Mark H. Dunkelman's Brothers One and All is a detailed examination of Union soldier life at the regimental level. The 154th New York Volunteers, known as the Hardtack Regiment, hailed from Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties in the western part of the state. A three-year regiment raised in the summer of 1862, the regiment suffered grievous losses at the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg as part of the Army of the Potomac's ill-fated Eleventh Corps. The New Yorkers transferred to the Army of the Tennessee in late 1863 and fought with William T. Sherman for the remainder of the war. From slightly over 1,000 officers and men, the 154th New York lost 70 killed and mortally wounded, 200 wounded, and 360 captured by the enemy, of whom 60 died in captivity. The army discharged hundreds of other unit members due to illness and injuries or transferred them to other assignments.	. . .
