About the Book

"Enough To Make Angels Weep" takes an objective, in-depth look at the Civil War service history of the Thirty-eighth Indiana Infantry, a regiment originally raised from local militia groups in counties across southern Indiana in 1861. This narrative focuses specifically upon the activities of the common "western" soldier within the Thirty-eighth's ranks, including camp life, adventures on the march, and the extreme hardships they suffered during active campaigns. Nicknamed "the double-backboned Hoosiers" in early 1862 because of their ability to endure long, arduous marches, the men of the Thirty-eighth Indiana also participated in some of the most vicious and bloody battles and campaigns of the Civil War's western theatre. From the carnage wrought upon the rolling hills north of Perryville, KY in October 1862 to General William T. Sherman's decisive onslaught through the deep South in 1864-65 during the battles for Atlanta, the March to the Sea, and the Carolinas Campaign, the fighting spirit and determination of the Thirty-eighth Indiana endured, despite the regiment leaving its honored dead in 10 states spanning 33 different skirmishes and major engagements. The resilience and fortitude of these men, most straight from the farm fields of southern Indiana, clearly resonates to the reader as this narrative follows their transition from shiny, new recruits at the outbreak of war to grizzled, hardened veterans by wars' end. Many years of genealogical research by the author culminates into a detailed soldier bio section at the end of the narrative as well, providing detailed glimpses into the pre- and post-war lives of nearly three-quarters of the regiments' 1,715 veterans.
