The book covers the experiences of German-American soldiers who fought in the war, as well as the contributions of German-Americans to the Union cause, such as the creation of the 45th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, known as the ""Steuben Regiment."" The book also examines the impact of the war on German-American communities, including the rise of anti-German sentiment and the persecution of German-Americans during the war.Overall, Their True Faith and Allegiance provides a unique perspective on the American Civil War and the role of German-Americans in the conflict.
