About This Book

The narrative chronicles the formation, training, and service of a Massachusetts volunteer infantry regiment through mobilization, campaigns, and garrison duty during the American Civil War. Organized chapters trace departures, actions in Virginia and Kentucky, operations around Vicksburg and Jackson, movements in East Tennessee including the siege of Knoxville, later reorganization, and participation in the Overland and Petersburg campaigns, with accounts of trench fighting, the Mine incident, Pegram Farm, winter quarters, and the final assault. The volume combines campaign narratives, a siege diary, personal recollections, casualty lists, and a complete roster to record the regiment's experiences and losses.
