"The Sword and Gun: A History of the 37th Wis. Volunteer Infantry" by R. C. Eden is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the experiences and military engagements of the 37th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War, from their formation to their disbandment. It focuses on the regiment’s actions in key battles, their hardships, and the camaraderie among soldiers, while also honoring the sacrifices made by its members. At the start of the book, the author offers a dedication to the officers and men of the 37th Wisconsin, highlighting their service during the Siege of Petersburg. The introduction sets the stage for the regiment's formation in 1864 amidst calls for additional troops due to mounting conflicts in the Civil War. The early chapters detail the initial organization of the regiment, the challenges they faced as they journeyed to the front lines, and the unyielding spirit of the soldiers who were just beginning to grasp the realities of warfare. The narrative emphasizes not only military strategy and encounters but also the human side of war, through recollections of camaraderie, loss, and the relentless duty of the soldiers.
