Thompson, Osmund Rhodes Howard, and Rauch, William H. History of the “Bucktails,” Kane rifle regiment of the Pennsylvania reserves, 42nd of the line: published by H. W. Rauch, historian, for the regimental association; with a dedicatory note by the Hon. E: A. Irvin. $2. William H. Rauch, 2141 N. Park av., Phil.
A volume which “contains the muster rolls of the regiment and a full account of the organization of the Bucktails from the excellent material furnished by the mountaineers of Northern Pennsylvania.”—N. Y. Times.
“Unhappily its authors were plainly inexperienced both in the art of bookmaking and of writing history. Hence, it does not add much to the growing collection of valuable regimental histories.”

“Not a very satisfactory volume altogether, the ‘History of the Bucktails’ ... contains, nevertheless, some material which will be of use to the future historian of the civil war and much that is interesting to the friends, kinsfolk, and descendants of the men who made up a celebrated body of Pennsylvania troops.”
