CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Jesse Bowman Young joined his uncle Major Samuel Millard Bowman in the Fourth Illinois Cavalry and saw action with the Western Army under Grant. When Major Bowman assumed command in 1862 of the 84th Pennsylvania Volunteers he was commissioned in the 84th's Company B. The regiment then fought with distinction in many of the most significant encounters of the war, including Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. When his uncle assumed command of the brigade, Young served as his aide and then became a divisional staff officer, serving in that capacity with Sickles at Gettysburg in the Peach Orchard. Jesse Young left the Army at the end of his enlistment in 1864. REFERENCES: DORN Ill #24 and PA #234. NEVINS: "A manufactured narrative of 'experiences' abounding with reconstructed conversation; the book's major assest is the series of sketches done by noted postwar artist Frank Beard.".
