About This Book

A Connecticut Civil War regiment is traced from recruitment in late 1862 through Gulf Coast service, describing training, voyages to New Orleans, actions at Irish Bend and the siege of Port Hudson, and the hardships of long marches, skirmishes, and high casualties. The narrative combines a concise regimental history by the commanding officer with firsthand reminiscences from enlisted men and detailed reports by subordinate officers, covering logistics such as carrying the payroll, camp life, engineering efforts, and leadership under fire. The account closes with the unit's return home and muster-out, together with reflections on discipline, courage, and the endurance of the soldiers.
