Summary: "Vermont Riflemen in the War for the Union, 1861 to 1865" by Wm. Y. W. Ripley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work details the experiences and organization of Company F of the First United States Sharpshooters during the Civil War, highlighting the company's formation, recruitment, and their participation in various military campaigns. The text is likely to attract readers interested in military history, particularly relating to the Union's tactics and the experiences of sharpshooters in battle. At the start of the account, the author sets the stage for the necessity of specialized troops skilled in marksmanship due to the challenges posed by Confederate forces. It highlights the recruitment of expert riflemen from rural areas and outlines the rigorous enlistment criteria, showing how this select group was differentiated from the standard infantry. Capt. Edmund Weston emerges as a key figure as he organizes the company, emphasizing the early enthusiasm and competitive spirit of the recruits. As the regiment moves to more formal training in early 1862, the narrative establishes a backdrop of increasing tension and anticipation as the soldiers prepare for their forthcoming engagement in significant battles, foreshadowing their crucial role in the Union's military efforts.
