The United States Marines at Harper's Ferry and in the Civil War "The brief histories of Marine involvement in the events at Harper's Ferry in 1859 and in the Civil War have been among the most consistently popular publications of the History and Museums Division since they first appeared in 1959- Revised and reprinted several times, the two accounts were combined in 1966 and the resulting booklet has generated a steady demand from the public which again requires reprinting. The author of both accounts, Bernard C. Nalty, now an Air Force historian and frequent author and editor of military histories, both official and non-official, joined the then Historical Branch, G-3 Division, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, in 1956. A graduate of Creighton University in history, he also holds a master's degree in history from Catholic University. As in all this division's publications, we welcome readers' comments on the narrative and solicit suggestions for improvement in the context of a concise general account of a significant era in Marine Corps history."
