| Summary | "Three Years in the Sixth Corps" by George T. Stevens is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles the experiences and events faced by the Seventh Regiment New York Volunteers as part of the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War, from 1861 until the war's conclusion in April 1865. Through personal anecdotes and detailed accounts, the book aims to provide an authentic depiction of the hardships, battles, and camaraderie among soldiers during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book introduces the formation of the Seventh Regiment in Saratoga Springs and their hopeful departure for war amidst cheers from friends and family. As they embark on their journey, they experience a mix of excitement and anxiety about the challenges ahead, reflected in the emotional turmoil of leaving loved ones behind. The narrative goes on to describe their initial experiences in Washington D.C., where they confront military life, including drill routines and the harsh realities of disease and hardship that afflicted many soldiers. The author captures the blend of camaraderie and vulnerability that characterized their early days, hinting at the trials and tribulations that the regiment would face as they engaged in critical campaigns throughout the war.
