Reply of the Philadelphia Brigade Association to the Foolish and Absurd Narrative of Lieutenant Frank A. Haskell

About the author
The Philadelphia Brigade Association was not an individual author but a veterans' organization tied to the famous Philadelphia Brigade of the Union Army in the American Civil War. The brigade itself is widely remembered for service in the Army of the Potomac and for fighting in major campaigns including Antietam and Gettysburg.
As an author name, the association appears on a small number of historical publications rather than a broad body of books. Confirmed surviving titles include Reply of the Philadelphia Brigade Association to the Foolish and Absurd Narrative of Lieutenant Frank A. Haskell, listed by Project Gutenberg and other library catalogs, and works connected with brigade reunions and remembrance.
That makes this “author” most interesting as a collective voice. The association seems to have written and published in order to preserve memory, argue for its version of events, and represent veterans of the brigade long after the war had ended.
