"A Summer in Maryland and Virginia; Or, Campaigning with the 149th Ohio..." by George Perkins is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the experiences of the 149th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during their service in Maryland and Virginia, particularly during the summer of 1864 amidst the Civil War. The narrative captures the personal recollections of the author, who was a member of the regiment, focusing on the realities of military life, battles, and the camaraderie among soldiers. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intention to document the key events and memories from his time in the service, highlighting his reliance on those memories to guide his account. Perkins emphasizes that this is not a comprehensive history but aims to recount significant moments and actions of the regiment, particularly their efforts during battles such as Monocacy and their subsequent experiences as prisoners of war. The early chapters provide context about the regiment's formation, initial preparations for service, and the personal sacrifices made by the men who enlisted, setting the stage for their journey through a pivotal period of American history.
