About This Book

A regimental history recounts the organization, training, and nine-month service of a Connecticut volunteer regiment, describing recruitment from local towns, camp life near Washington, marches into Virginia, and detailed accounts of major engagements at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. The narrative combines tactical description and soldierly experience, noting hardships, captures, and casualties, and includes memorial reflections. The work closes with systematic records: casualty lists, catalogs of commissioned officers and enlisted men, and promotion registers that document the unit’s personnel and losses.
