The 53rd Virginia Infantry was one of five Regiments in General Lewis A. Armistead's Brigade at Pickett's Charge, the Battle of Gettysburg, July 3, 1863. There were over 1,800 men who enlisted in the 53rd Virginia Infantry. Who were these men? Their parents? Their wives? This book gives the story of the regiment through the Civil War: organization, full roster, the battles, the prison camps, and the casualties. Moreover, this book provides genealogical detail on the men. The quest begins with trying to locate the men in the 1860 census, then expands the detail on their lives as records will allow. Prior works by the author include the other four regiments of Lewis Armistead: "9th Virginia Infantry: Finding the Men in the 1860 Census", "14thVirginia Infantry: Finding the Men in the 1860 Census", "38th Virginia Infantry: Finding the Men in the 1860 Census" and "57th Virginia Infantry: Finding the Men in the 1860 Census".
