About This Book
Personal reminiscences and contemporary sketches recount a Massachusetts volunteer militia company's Civil War campaign, covering camp life at Readville, the voyage and landings, encampments on the Trent, marches and engagements at Kinston and Goldsboro, occupation duties in New Bern, and the return home and later reunions. Chapters combine camp and battlefield description with practical details of routine, picket and reserve duty, movements by rail and sea, and episodic anecdotes. The volume also preserves a roster and officers' list, plans and portraits, and illustrations drawn during service to document the regiment's experiences.
