Small stains and corner creases on several leaves, overall wear on the wrappers, near very good. Detailed account of the Ohio-organized unit's service in the War, copiously illustrated with cartoons of various events and situations, mostly humorous, but not without some more serious images. Includes accounts of battles and other events, lists of medal winners, accounts of smaller unit actions, and training events, including their first encounter with African-American troops while training in Alabama ("Hello Sambo," which is stereotypical, but not entirely unsympathetic).
