The Fighting 36th Historical Quarterly
These booklets were produced by the 36th Infantry Division Association by compiling the stories, articles, photographs, and other accounts telling the history of the division through its veterans. Inside are some very niche and intriguing first-hand accounts from real T-Patchers published in a quarterly format.
