Volume I of this history of the 85th Pennsylvania Infantry ended with the regiment recovering from their arduous duties in South Carolina on Morris Island during the siege of Charleston and Fort Sumter in 1863. The 85th PA had fought at Seven Pines, Virginia and during the Goldsboro Expedition in North Carolina in 1862. By the time Volume II begins in early 1864, 177 soldiers had died from battlefield wounds or diseases; another 337 men had been dismissed from the regiment, mostly for medical reasons. Colonel Joshua B. Howell is recovering from a severe concussion and Lt. Colonel Henry A. Purviance has been killed.

~~~ Volume II begins with the regiment enjoying a brief break from their strenuous duties. The regiment conducted a one-day operation to Whitemarsh Island near Savannah in early 1864. They are soon stationed in the Bermuda Hundred peninsula of Virginia where they fought two battles before being sent across the James River towards Richmond to fight the Battle of Second Deep Bottom. Most of the regiment went home in late 1864 but about 150 stayed for epic confrontations at Fort Gregg near Petersburg and then played a vital role in LeeΓ•s surrender at Appomattox. Volume II also explores the diary of Captain Richard Dawson, and follows several dozen men from the regiment who performed guard duty on a large-scale prisoner exchange. The final chapter recounts the decades after the war in which the regiment held over 50 annual reunions throughout southwestern Pennsylvania.

Beyond beautiful!
Color: A-White, Color: A-White
This arrived in a beautiful bronze box protected by a cellophane sheath. Inside, the watch is amply padded with black foam; there are ample instructions and a tool to remove links. The rose-gold watch measures 9 inches long with all of its links attached and is protected by cellophane and a removable film. The watch face is a very light silver with clear rhinestones as most of the numbers, has rose-gold hands with white centers, and is covered by a watch glass with faceted edges. The rose gold band has six charms- three on each side, framing the watch face. Four are clovers with stippled edges and a faceted clear rhinestone center. Two are a cluster of four hearts- 2 solid hearts and 2 hearts with three clear rhinestones in the center. All of its edges are rounded for comfort for all-day wear. It's also water resistant for hand-washing. The face measures 3cm by 2cm which is the perfect size. I'm a dress size 4, 122 lbs and I removed 2 links, so plenty of room for all sized women. I cannot say enough about the quality and beauty of this watch. The pictures don't do it justice. Just gorgeous! Amazing value.
