SOPO’s Take: This self-published regimental history of the 90th Pennsylvania by a retired Philadelphia police officer contains an amazing amount of material on the Siege of Petersburg. Lyle’s Brigade of the V Corps, as well as Lyle’s old regiment the 90th, was almost annihilated at The Battle of Globe Tavern on August 19, 1864. Here is their story, from formation to muster out.
