Much more recent then Dee Brown's book Galvanized Yankees, Butts concentrates on the 1st USV from their inspection through their mustering out, and a little beyond. The 1st was the most well documented of the six USV regiments and also the only one that wasn't spread piecemeal throughout the West. A good follow up to Brown's book, she more closely examines the reasons the Confederate POWs went over to the other side. This is also the only other book written about the Galvanized Yankees.

Only a handful of historians have explored the unique nature of the Galvanised Yankees -- Confederate prisoners of war permitted to enlist in the Union army -- and the role they played in the West during the Civil War. Rarer still are detailed studies of individual regiments. Michèle Tucker Butts sheds welcome light on the triumphs and travails of one such unit, the First United States Volunteers and their commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Dimon. Their story provides a telescopic view of issues that would sweep the nation for the remainder of the nineteenth century: the promise and anxiety inherent in post-Civil War nation building, the complexities involved in westward expansion, and the changing nature of mid-nineteenth century manhood. Butts seamlessly maintains a human face on events of national import, punctuating her thoroughly researched narrative with excerpts from Dimon's letters home. This compelling account of the First United States Volunteers will appeal to both scholars and general readers interested in the Civil War as well as Western and military history.
