"The Garibaldi Guard, named after the illustrious general, Giuseppe Garibaldi, was a unique meld of those foreign nationals who participated in the European revolutions and the struggle to save the Union. This was a polyglot regiment of exiled political idealist veterans of Europe's armies and navies, anarchists, adventurers, and even a few crooks; they came from 52 European principalities and 14 American states and served under the leadership of a charlatan. The book covers the careers of some of the officers and men in the post-Civil War years. In addition, a list of all the men (over 2,000) and a brief synopsis of their time serving in the regiment is provided"--Bk jacket.

Bibliography: p. 309-319.
