**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Entries are arranged first by state and then by regiment, and provide a biographical sketch of each colonel focusing on his Civil War service. This biographical dictionary documents the Union army colonels who commanded regiments from Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. Many of the colonels covered herein never rose above that rank, failing to win promotion to brigadier general or brevet brigadier general, and have therefore received very little scholarly attention prior to this work.
