The book is identified as belonging to a Newburyport, Massachusetts soldier of the 23rd Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, John L. Howard, who also became part of G.A.R. Post 49. He wrote an 1888 inscription in the front of this copy. The book was published by Brady, Mace & Company of Bangor, Maine and has several maps, the order of battle and a comprehensive roster.
