About This Book

The author presents a diary-style regimental history of a Massachusetts volunteer infantry regiment during the Civil War, tracing recruitment and training at a coastal camp in response to a nine-month volunteer call and describing daily camp routine, discipline, and local incidents. It records formation into companies, officers and rosters, movements to the Gulf and Mississippi theater, and participation in operations around Baton Rouge and Port Hudson, noting casualties and administrative details. Chronological entries, lists of personnel, and acknowledgments of contributors combine to preserve both operational actions and the personal experiences of soldiers.
