Nichols is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the experiences of the 48th New York State Volunteers, known as "Perry's Saints," during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on their formation and service under Colonel James H. Perry. It aims to present an authentic portrayal of army life and the individual and collective experiences of soldiers fighting for the Union. The opening of this narrative sets the stage for the Civil War, highlighting the tension and causes behind the conflict, particularly the issue of slavery. It introduces Colonel James H. Perry, a former preacher turned soldier, showcasing his transformation from a man of peace to a commanding officer who inspires his regiment. The early chapters detail the regiment's formation, the eagerness of the soldiers, and their initial enthusiasm for service as they prepare to face the unknown challenges of war. Through snippets of personal reflections and the experiences of the soldiers, the story captures not only the historical context of the conflicts but also the emotional landscape of those who fought.
