A Duryee Zouave by Thomas P.Southwick. This book relates the story of Thomas "Pony" Southwick's experiences in one of the most famous Civil War regiments--the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry, Duryée's
Zouaves. Southwick's writing style gives an atmosphere that allows the reader to feel as if they are speaking with the old veteran himself. There are many comical and light hearted incidents in the book as well as the gripping battle accounts.
This reprint contains all the original material plus a new introduction by Brian C. Pohanka and a foreword by Southwick's great-grandson. Fifty-nine biographies on soldiers and officers in the 5th New York mentioned by Southwick are also added. The reprint has 148-pages, including an index, and 25 photographs. The book is hardcover, with Keith Rocco's painting of the 5th New York at Gaines's Mill in full color on the cover.
