The 97th PVI's service spanned virtually the entire length of the Civil War. This unit was mustered into service only a few months after Bull Run in 1861, and was mustered out after the final surrender four years later.
Here you can learn about the 97th and some of the men who served in the regiment. These were average men who became  extraordinary through their loyalty, devotion, and the circumstances of history.
