This Banner must shine Where battle is hottest, in warfare divine! The cannon has thundered, the bugle has blown: We fear not the summons; we fight not alone! Still lead us, till wide from the Gulf to the Sea The land shall be sacred to Freedom and Thee! With love, for oppression; with blessings, for scars ; One Country—one Banner, the Stripes and the Stars. Epna DEAN PROCTOR. PREFACE. After several years of hard, laborious work, in which the utmost care has been taken to render the following pages of great interest and value, I give them to the public. : At the outset: a circular was addressed to the officers and men of the regiment, wherever I could find them, asking for anecdotes, reminiscences, and personal items of themselves, such as would be of interest for the work before me. Very many comrades responded, but the larger number did not. Many said, ‘‘I can sit with you for hours and rehearse my war experiences, but I cannot put them upon paper.” I have given short biographic sketches of most of the officers—all I could reach—and a large number of personal items concerning the men of the.regiment, and I wish I could give the valiant deeds of every man: but that would require volumes, and the experience of one soldier was largely that of the entire regiment. Particu- lar attention is called to the roster of the officers and men who were connected with the regiment: it has required a vast amount of labor to make it what it is,— the most complete roster yet made of any of the war regiments of this state. It will be seen that fully ninety- five per cent. of the original officers and men of the regi- ment are accounted for. The post-office address given is that of the latest date. These of course are subject to change, but for the most part will remain as given. Iam under many obligations to Adjutant-General Ayling and vi PREFACE. his clerical force for their assistance in preparing this roster, as also to many members of the regiment for valuable information as to the final record of their comrades. To the officers and men of this regiment whose val- uable communications appear in this volume, and to all who have assisted me in any manner, I give the thanks of a true, loyal comrade’s heart. Names of towns appearing in this work not followed by the name of the state in which they are, will be considered as belonging to New Hampshire, always.excepting those of the state in which the campaign under consideration took place. The work is illustrated with many fine engravings: my only wish is that there could have been more. I give an excellent diagram of the battle-field upon which the regiment received its first baptism in blood, and which was drawn by a member of the rebel battery that made such fearful havoc in our ranks at that time; and also of the place of the brilliant assault at the Shand House. I also give a fine engraving of the old battle flags under which the regiment fought so bravely. Comrades, the record of the Eleventh Regiment is your own record, and I have endeavored to place your valiant, heroic deeds as soldiers upon the pages of his- .tory in such a manner that your sons, your daughters, and your friends through the coming years shall point with pride to the great sacrifices you made, and to the heroism you displayed, in the defence of your country. To the Veterans of the Eleventh, and to the memory of our dead comrades, I most sincerely and devotedly dedicate and ascribe this volume. LEANDER W. COGSWELL. Henniker, N. H., December 1, 1891.

From Juty 1, 1862, ro NoveMBER 10, 1862—War INAUGURATED— THE ELEVENTH RECRUITED—ITS ORGANIZATION—LEAVING FOR THE FrRoNT—BiIoGRAPHIC SKETCHES OF REGIMENTAL OFFICERS. ‘Fort Sumter will be fired upon to-night” was heard in the streets of Charleston, South Carolina, April 11, 1861, and sent by telegraph to the country’ round about, summoning troops for the pending conflict. The streets of the city were filled with large numbers of people hurrying here, there—hardly knowing where; and just after a terrific thunder-storm which passed over the city had spent its force, a dull, heavy boom was heard, announcing that the first shot had been fired at Sumter. Iron hail fell through all of the next day, and during the stormy night that followed it, upon the devoted band there, and until the next day,—the ever-to- be-remembered thirteenth day of April, 1861, when the terms of capitulation were agreed upon; and upon the fourteenth the fort was evacuated. And what a Sabbath day it was! The North was filled with amazement,—the South with exultant delight, yet not knowing what it had done. Its people had inaugurated a civil war, which, in their judgment, was soon to render the South an indepen- dent nation. For long years they had been discussing the matter, and in some measure preparing for the conflict, which, in their view, would be short and quickly over; I 2 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. and with this feeling predominant, the whole South was alive with joy that knew no bounds. Not so the North: for a short time the people seemed paralyzed and astounded at the news that came so like a thunder-bolt from a clear sky; and they could only ask themselves, What does all this mean? Quickly, however, the shock passed away, and then, from all over the great, loyal North, there was but one response, and that was, Force must be met by force, and this Union must remain one and undivided forever. From the towering mast, from the church steeple, from the house-top, and from the door-way, the Stars and Stripes were flung out, and were kissed by the sweet breezes of heaven. The luminous folds of the flag seemed more beautiful than ever, and, under their inspiration, the call of President Lincoln, upon the 15th of April, 1861, for 75,000 troops was quickly responded to. Thousands upon thousands of men went forth to do battle for the best government the world had yet seen. The government worked with an energy never before displayed. As each day and week passed away, it became more and more evident that a dire contest was impending. The disastrous defeat at Bull Run, on the 21st of July following, nearly dis- heartened the nation. Immediately the government called for 300,000 men for three years, which quota was speedily filled. A magnificent army was equipped and sent on its mission,—to capture Richmond and end the war. Five weeks of severe fighting upon the Peninsula had tested the bravery and endurance of the Union troops as those qualities had rarely, if ever, been tested, and still Richmond was not ours. Those were indeed dark hours for the Union cause: the enemy, jubi- lant, and flushed with their apparent success, had turned their faces northward, threatening not only Washington but the entire North with a general invasion. . ORGANIZATION. 3 More men were needed. President Lincoln, although equal to the emergency, hesitated as to the number he should call forth ;—100,000 was his first number; then he was advised that 200,000 should be the number; but more sagacious ones suggested 300,000 men for three, years,—and in July, 1862, he issued -his call for that number; and the wisdom of the act was soon apparent. From all over the North was heard ‘©We’re coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more.” New Hampshire was called upon to furnish her full quota, and under this request, Governor Berry and his council, in August, 1862, tendered to Hon. Walter Harriman a commission as colonel of volunteers, with permission to raise a regiment to be known as the ‘‘ Eleventh Regi- ment of New Hampshire Volunteers.” The commission was accepted, and Colonel Harriman immediately commenced raising his regiment. At various points he addressed the people in his own elo- quent, stirring words, of which a few are appended : ‘* Necessity is laid upon us ; we must fight, or permit this government to be broken up ; there is no other alternative. Young man, now is your time. Don’t wait for your neighbor. ‘They that be wise shall shine as the firma- ment.’ The impulse of your heart is right: act in obedience to it. This is not the business of another; it is your own, it is every man’s. Are you willing to see this government overthrown, to see all your interests sacrificed; to hear the fiendish shouts of conspirators over their successes; and to see, as you must if this rebellion prevails, the utter disintegration of these states, and the swallowing up of the last vestige of a republican government in every part of the land? ‘«‘The patriots of the Revolution earned a nation’s gratitude by their heroic and unpurchased toils and their 4 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. self-sacrificing spirit. They nobly did their duty, and they received the homage of grateful hearts to the end of their lives. How much more worthy of the highest acclaim of a trembling country will all those men be who voluntarily come forward to save from ruin the mag- nificent structure which their honored fathers so faithfully erected. Young men, no such occasion for valiant deeds will again present itself in your day. If life is to be anything but a barren waste, if men have duties to do, if men have something to live for except personal ease, then, now is the day and now the hour.” Recruiting went on rapidly under such eloquent, inspiring words, and in eight days his regiment was filled to overflowing, and what follows commemorates, in some measure, the deeds of this heroic regiment.

Twenty-four men were enlisted for this company who were not accepted by the regimental sur- geon upon examination, though nearly all of these men entered the service later in the war. A very few were satisfied with their first attempt to become soldiers, and made no further effort. With one or two exceptions the whole number were anxious to join the great host that was then mustering throughout the North for the sup- pression of the Rebellion, and many of them did valiant service before the war closed. Wednesday, August 27, 1862, the men who had enlisted for this company left their homes for Concord, where the regiment was to rendezvous. The men from Henniker formed on the common by the brick church, and, escorted by the Henniker Cornet Band, marched through the village to the station with bared heads, accompanied by several hundreds of the people of the town, who had assembled to bid good-bye to the brave boys who were going forth in defence of their country ; and, amidst tearful eyes and throbbing hearts, the parting 8 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. words were said, and God’s blessing and watchful care invoked. The company proceeded by rail to Concord ; thence marched to the camp-ground, where other com- panies for the Eleventh Regiment had commenced to assemble, and then and there began its army life. The next day examinations commenced, and continued until the company was full, and, in common with the other companies composing the regiment, Company D was mustered into the United States service Septem- ber 10, 1862, by Charles Holmes, captain 17th U.S. Infantry.

The undersigned, having received authority from the Adjutant- General to recruit a full company under the call for 300,000 volunteers, have opened an office at EXCHANGE HALL. Freemen of old Strafford, once more your country calls upon you! Quick! be ready! Now is a good time to show your patriotism by willingly enlisting in your country’s behalf, for should you omit this opportunity, you must be drafted, lose your bounty, and show your want of patriotism. Can you be indifferent to this call? Shall the embalmed ashes of the sainted martyrs of American liberty be pro- faned with the unhallowed footsteps of the enemies of our country? Shall the laurelled tombs of the departed heroes of our country be touched with sacrilegious hands? The genius of the Revolution forbids it; the mandates of Jehovah protest against it. Come forth, then, without fear, and with manly hearts. “Let our noble motto be, , God, the country, liberty.” EacH VOLUNTEER WILL RECEIVE, cash in hand, on being mustered into the service of the United States, a bounty of $25, a premium of $2, one month’s pay ($1 3) in advance. ORGANIZATION. 13 At the expiration of his term of enlistment or honorable discharge from the service, he will receive a further bounty of $75; in event of his death, the same will be paid to his family. The State of New Hamp- shire will pay a bounty of $50 to each volunteer upon being mustered into the service. In addition, the city of Dover will pay to each of its volunteers the sum of $75. Aid will also be furnished to the families and dependents of volunteers, to an amount not exceeding $12 per month. Pay and rations to commence at date of enlistment. Nat. Low, Jr., B.

The following is the order under which the Eleventh N. H. Regiment proceeded to the front: HEAD-QUARTERS NEW HAMPSHIRE MILITIA, ConcorD, Sept. 5, 1862. No. I1. To WALTER HARRIMAN, EsqQ., Colonel Commanding Eleventh Regiment N. HH. Volunteers : Sir: You will proceed with the regiment under your command to Washington, D. C., on Thursday, the 11th inst., at 7 o'clock a. m., and report to the commanding general. By order of the Governor, ANTHONY COLBY, Adj't-Gen'l. GENERAL ORDERS, t ae THE REGIMENT LEAVES FOR THE FRONT. Wednesday, September 10, the camp was visited by thousands from different parts of the state, who had come to bid the boys good-bye once more. Early Thursday morning, September 11, 1862, the regi- ment broke camp: tents were struck, baggage packed and forwarded to the station, and the regimental line was formed. Inthe midst of the hurry of departure, Lieut. Joseph B. Clark, of Co. C, introduced his intended bride to Col. Harriman, and under the fragrant pines, on that beautiful morning, the happy couple were by him united in marriage. At 9 a. m. the regiment took up its line of march, crossed the river, and, amidst the assembled thousands accompanying its departure with sorrowful hearts, marched down Main street to the station to the cheering strains of ‘‘ Marching Along” from the regimental band, boarded the cars, and were soon rolling on to the seat of war,—via Nashua, Worcester, Stonington, Jersey City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore to Washington. Composed LEAVING FOR THE FRONT. I§ of some of the very best men New Hampshire contained, thé regiment made a fine appearance, and was greeted everywhere on its way to Washington—save in Balti- more—in the most enthusiastic manner, and with the kindest wishes. With ‘‘the tallest men on the right” the regiment made a splendid appearance as it passed through the streets of Stonington to take the boat for New York, and ‘‘ What a fine looking regiment!” was heard on all sides. As the regiment neared the steamer, bystanders said, ‘‘Oh, my God, what tall men! Say, any more such men left where you came from?” ‘* Yes,” said one of the tallest, who stood six feet four inches in his stockings, ‘‘plenty of them. We’re only infants compared with some of ’em.” The regiment was landed at Jersey City, where it was supplied with ammunition for the first time. Early the next morning, after having partaken of a good breakfast furnished by the kind people of that city, we left, in the midst of a pouring rain, for Philadelphia. All through New Jersey the reception of the regiment was very enthusiastic, especially at Camden and Bur- lington, where the people seemed to turn out en masse. Philadelphia was reached in the early evening, and an excellent supper was had at the Cooper saloon, where so many thousands of soldiers were fed by the kind- hearted men and women of that city. Shortly afterwards the men marched through densely crowded streets to the western station, whence, packed into ‘‘ cattle cars,” they departed at seven o’clock the next morning. At Wil- mington, Delaware, but little attention was paid the regi- ment. From here to Baltimore the railroad was under a strong guard, and the regiment reached the latter place just at dusk, receiving a right royal welcome from the ladies, who, with other Union people, furnished an excel- lent supper. The regiment then marched to the station,— 16 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. passing along the street where the Sixth Massachusetts had its severe fighting,—the regiment singing ‘« Old John Brown,” though the streets were lined with sour, cross- looking people, and not a cheer escaped their lips. The next morning, Sunday, at seven o’clock, the regiment arrived in Washington, and partook of what was called a breakfast in a place denominated as the Soldiers’ Retreat. Our boys have not, and never will, forget the place, nor the rations. Col. Harriman reported to Gen. Casey, and the regi- ment went into camp on East Capitol Hill, where it re- mained two days; then was ordered to Camp Chase, near Arlington Heights, where it was brigaded with the Twenty- first Connecticut and Thirty-seventh Massachusetts regi- ments, General Paul commanding. The next day it had for its brigade commander General Briggs, and the Seventh Rhode Island and the One Hundred and Twenty- third New York regiments were added to the brigade. Two weeks were spent in drill, inspections, and reviews. Here the regiment began to learn that war was not boys’ play. Big guns and bayonets bristled on every side: the men were under strict surveillance, and prepared themselves for the art of fighting. A well known New Hampshire man, residing in Wash- ington, said of the Eleventh Regiment, on its arrival in that city, September 14, 1862, ‘‘ The soldiers of this reg- iment are large, sturdy men, worthy in every way to be followers of the Ninth, which was so highly commended on its arrival at Washington. The Eleventh Regiment arrived in this city on Sunday morning at seven o’clock, in good condition and in the highest spirits. Their pas- sage all the way to Baltimore was an ovation, and their reception in Philadelphia generous and noble beyond description. The Eleventh Regiment is brigaded under the command of General Briggs, son of the late ex-Gov- IN CAMP AT WASHINGTON. 17 ernor Briggs, of Massachusetts. It has the right of the brigade, which is the first in Casey’s new division. On Saturday last, the Eleventh was provided with eighty-five thousand rounds of ammunition. The regiment is held in high estimation, and has a prospect of immediate ser- vice. The Manchester band, which accompanied the Tenth, serenaded Captain Clark, because of his marriage just before he left home.” On the 20th, the division to which the brigade was attached, having about 15,000 troops in line, was reviewed by General Casey, commanding the division. The Eleventh had the right of the brigade in the review. This was the routine during the stay here: Reveillé for roll-call at 5:30 a. m., breakfast at 6:30, guard mount- ing at 8, officer and company drill and battalion drill from g to I1, dinner at 12 m., company drill at 2 p. m., roll-call at 4, dress-parade at 5, supper at 6, tattoo at 8, taps at 9, all lights extinguished. September 23 the men of the regiment had their march- ing powers put to the test for the first time. A battalion drill was had from 8 till 10:30 a. m.; they then marched two miles and participated in a division review; and an- other march to Long bridge and back to camp again—a march of nine miles en route and six in review, making fifteen in all, under a hot, scorching sun. A great many men fell out, but were soon all in camp again. The boys said they only wished the officers who rode horses had to ‘hoof it” as they did. The march wouldn't have been so long if that had been the case. Just at. this time, President Lincoln’s preparatory emancipation proclamation was issued, and was heart- ily approved by the men of the Eleventh Regiment, as well as by the large number of troops about them. A sutler made himself obnoxious by denouncing the president for what he had done, and threats were : 2 18 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHTRE. made to ‘clean him out,” but, being forewarned, he picked up his goods and left. During our stay at this place a great many visits were exchanged by the men with friends in other regiments, and many friends from home were seen. Communication with friends at home was uninterrupted, and many of the good things of life were to be had, so that camp life was quite endurable ; but all this was to be changed for the stern realities of war, in which the men were soon to participate. Early Monday morning, September -29, the regiment was ordered to be ready to march at 11 a. m., with two days’ cooked rations. Then ‘‘there was hurrying to and fro.”” The cooks were- busy, the sick and the lame attended the surgeon’s call. Tents and knapsacks were to be left in camp, and the great wonder was, ‘‘ Where are we going?” In the hurry and confusion one man cut off two fingers on one hand, but the men as a whole welcomed the order to march. This, however, was countermanded, and the regiment lay on its arms until 4 a.m. the next day, when it marched back into Wash- ington, and halted near the station of the Baltimore & Ohio road, where it remained until seven the next morn- ing, when, boarding a train, it was carried back nine miles to the Relay House, and reached Frederick City, Md., early the next morning. The people on this route we found to be pretty loyal as a whole, but very ignorant. At one place the women wanted to know where the regiment was from, and when told, one said, ‘‘Whar is that ar place?” and the boys said, ‘‘New Hampshire is an island in the Atlantic ocean.” The next morning the regiment left for Sandy Hook, where it arrived about noon. This place was close by Harper’s Ferry, then of so much interest because of John Brown’s raid, which ended his life but hastened ON THE MARCH. 19 the war. Large numbers of the men of the regiment availed themselves of the opportunity to pay Harper’s Ferry a visit, and often while waiting here the men indulged in singing ‘‘Old John Brown,” and the band played ‘‘ Yankee Doodle.” Here the writer of this, with some others, took breakfast one morning with a loyal family residing near our camp. The lady said that on the retreat of the rebel army into Virginia from Antietam, Stonewall Jackson and some of his officers ate supper at her house, and they talked boldly and defiantly. ‘< But,” said the old lady, ‘‘it appeared as how the Lord was toppermost of the devil yet; that the devil seceded in Bible times, and had now, through the South.” Among the few books lying on the table in her little sitting-room was ‘‘ Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” This lady was a native of Harper’s Ferry. Monday, October 6, the regiment marched three miles up to Pleasant Valley to join Burnside’s forces. The valley was rightly named, for it was a beautiful location, and its inhabitants were loyal, out of one hundred and thirty voters in its borders only sixteen being ‘‘secesh.” Here Colonel Harriman reported to General Burnside, and the following day moved up the valley one mile, where the regiment was brigaded with the Twenty-first and Thirty-fifth Massachusetts, Fifty-first New York, and Fifty-first Pennsylvania regiments. The brigade was the Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps. General Edward Ferrero commanded the bri- gade, General S. D. Sturgis, the division, and Major- General A. E. Burnside, the corps. In this brigade, division, and corps the Eleventh Regiment remained as long as it was in the service. Here the regiment and brigade performed daily the routine of drill, inspection, and, at times, review,—fitting the men for the fearful task before them, work which would surely come sooner or 20 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. later. The camp was full of rumors. Where the army was to march, and when, no one knew, but orders came to be ready to march at a moment’s notice, to leave all surplus baggage behind, to sleep with ‘‘ one eye open,” and await results. Such was the life, varied with orders for details of various kinds of camp duty. Chaplain Stratton improved the time in telling the boys their besetting sins: and entreating them to forsake them. He talked from some text on the Sabbath, held a Bible-class meeting once a week, held street prayer-meetings, gave an invocation on dress-parade, and endeavored at all times to do his duty faithfully to the thousand souls that were committed to his spiritual charge. Besides this, it was his duty to look after the mail for the regiment; and very busy was he when a large mail arrived, until it was assorted and delivered. But cold weather was coming on. Heavy rains drenched the camp, high winds howled through the com- pany streets, and often ice was formed about the little shelter tents. Many were ill, and many were blue; and although the winds were fearful and the heavens looked threatening, the men hailed with delight the order, which came on Saturday, October 25, to be ready to march the following morning. Although few believed anything else than that the order would be counter- manded, still the almost certainty that a move would soon be made revived the spirits of the men wonder- fully. A terrific storm came on, which continued until the morning of the 27th. At noon of that day the order came, ‘‘ Be ready to march in twenty minutes!” and in half an hour the army was in motion. The regiment passed down the valley, struck the Potomac at Weaver- ton, thence down the river through Knoxville to Berlin, where it crossed the river on a pontoon bridge, thence ON THE MARCH. 21 three miles to near Lovettsville, and camped once more on the ‘‘sacred soil of Virginia.” McClellan was march- ing along the eastern base of the Blue Ridge, with Lee alongside but beyond the mountains, and moving also towards Richmond. Though cold and windy, the regi- ment slept that night without tents. On the 3oth the march was resumed during the after- noon, and after going five miles the regiment bivouacked in an open field, the roads in all directions thundering with supply-trains and long lines of artillery. At day- break the next morning the regiment again took up the line of march, and went into camp one mile below Wheat- land, having marched twelve miles. Here the regiment remained until Sunday morning, November 2, when the order came, ‘‘ Have your command in readiness to march in thirty minutes!” It was a delightful day, but the regi- ment marched to the thunders of artillery shelling the rebels from their hiding-places in the forests and ravines about us. Twelve miles was made, and the men bivouacked that night near the little hamlet of Union. The march was resumed the next afternoon, and when one mile on its way the regiment received its first order to «« Halt and load!” There was another bivouac that night in an open field, and a high, cold, piercing wind. The next day a march of four miles was made, and the camp for the night was at Upperville, near ‘‘ Snicker’s Gap.” The next day six miles was tramped over, and a bivouac was made near Piedmont station. (j[welve miles was made the next day, and a halt for the night, near Orlean. Snow commenced falling the next day, November 7, at nine in the morning, and continued until 4 p. m., accompanied with a driving wind, cold and bitter. At 3:30 p. m., the regiment commenced its march again, and just after’dark went down into a sharp, dark ravine, 22 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. very rocky, and the mud ankle deep, in which the bri- gade was ordered to halt, as it was found that the order of some superior officer, who was either drunk, insane, or incompetent—most likely the latter—had taken it on the wrong road. ‘About face!” came the order, and two miles and a half was made to the rear. Upon one of the bleakest, coldest places to be found, the regiment halted in the face of a terribly searching wind for an hour; then marched still another mile to the rear, when a most welcome order was given. ‘‘Take the forest to the right!” came the word, and in an incredibly short space of time the woods were aglow with innumerable camp-fires. It was now near midnight, but, brushing away the snow, a very comfortable bivouac was made around the fires. The next morning the regiment was on the march early, but, when two miles had been covered, halted, and stacked arms in an open field. The air was full of rumors. Battery after battery, with ammunition trains, thundered by onthe run. The order, ‘‘ Take arms !” came quickly, and the boys went up the hill on the double- quick, just in time to find that a skirmish had taken place, and that General Pleasanton had fed his horses in a field of corn occupied by General Stuart, of the rebel cavalry, the night previous. Marching several miles more, the regiment went into camp near Jeffersonville, in Culpeper county. Here the regiment was, for the first time, informed that General McClellan had been superseded by General Burnside, by the following order : WASHINGTON, November 5, 1862. By direction of the President of the United States, it is ordered that Major-General McClellan be relieved from the command of the Army of the Potomac, and that Major-General Burnside take command of that army. By order of the Secretary of War, E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant-General. WALTER HARRIMAN. 23 BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES. GEN. WALTER HARRIMAN. Walter Harriman was the son of Benjamin and Hannah (Flanders) Harriman, and was born in Warner, N. H., April 7, 1817. He was the third son of a family of eight ‘brothers and two sisters. His father was one of the most prominent men of the town, and his farm was one of the best. Here the son labored, attending the district school in winter. In the autumn of 1834 he attended Hopkinton academy, and in 1835 and 1836 he attended a select school in Henniker: this ended his school- days. He taught his first school in Warner, in the winter of 1834-35, and in 1836—37 he taught in Braintree, Mass. ; in 1838 he served as a clerk in a store in Henniker, and in 1839 he opened a tuition school in Westfield, N. J., and afterwards in Irvington, same state. Then he re- turned to his home in Warner. He commenced the study of theology at Westfield, and at the age of twenty- three years began his labors as a Universalist min- ister in his native town. He afterwards had pastorates at Harvard and Shirley, Mass., and in various places in New Hampshire. In 1849 he withdrew from theology, and entered the political field. He was elected a repre- sentative from Warner in 1849 and 1850. In 1851 he engaged in trade in his native town, and in 1853 he was elected state treasurer. In April, 1856, he was appointed by President Pierce one of a board of three to classify and appraise the Indian lands in Kansas. In 1859 he was again elected a representative from Warner, and was a state senator in 1859 and 1860. Being of the Democratic faith in politics, he had taken a prominent part in the Kansas-Nebraska strug- 24 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. gle in the Fremont campaign in 1856, and in the campaign of 1860, which resulted in the election of Abraham Lincoln as president. When the life of the nation was threatened, and armed traitors sought its overthrow; his patriotism rose above party, and his voice and his pen uttered earnest words for the Union cause. In August, 1862, he offered his services to Governor Berry, who immediately commissioned him as colonel of a New Hampshire regiment of volunteers, to be known as the Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers. He imme- diately commenced the task of filling his regiment, and addressed several meetings with eloquent words, some of which have been given elsewhere. In eight days his regiment was filled, and on August 26, 1862, he was com- missioned its colonel. His military career is largely interwoven with the history of the Eleventh. At noon of the day of the terrible slaughter at Fredericksburg, he received the order ‘‘Advance with your regiment!” with no more fear than if standing on one of the hills near his native home ; his voice in clear, clarion tones rang out with the words, ‘‘Forward, Eleventh New Hampshire!” and not a man in the regiment but heard it; and how gallantly he bore himself upon that battle-field is a part of the history of that fearful day. His regiment being on picket, neg- lected and left to its own fate when the army recrossed the river, was one of the very last to cross, and the colonel only gave the order to return upon the earnest advice of the lieutenant-colonel and major of the regi- ment, as heard by the writer of this. June 5, 1863, the regiment then being near the Big Black river (Mississippi), Colonel Harriman resigned his commission, greatly to the regret of the men and officers of the regiment, was honorably discharged from the service, and went to his home in New Hampshire, WALTER HARRIMAN. 25 carrying with him a written indorsement signed by all the officers then with the regiment, declaring that his ‘‘brave and gallant conduct at the battle of Fredericks- burg,” the only one in which the regiment had been engaged, commanded their admiration; that in social intercourse they had found him ‘‘a pleasant and affable companion,” and that by his kindness and courteous bearing to the privates of the regiment he had gained their ‘‘love and respect.” The men of the regiment who carried the gun and the knapsack gave expression to their feelings in the passage unanimously of a series of resolutions highly complimentary to their late com- mander, and declaring their deep regret at his resigna- tion. August 15, 1863, three weeks after he reached his home, he was re-commissioned colonel of the regiment, and on March 7, 1864, he rejoined it at Mossy creek, East Tennessee, receiving a royal welcome from the men who had borne themselves so bravely in the dan- gers and hardships of the previous winter, in reality the ‘‘Valley Forge” of the Civil War. He accompanied the regiment to Annapolis, and was present with it in its brilliant charges at the Wilderness on the afternoon of the second day’s fight, when he was taken prisoner (see Battle of the Wilderness). He was a prisoner for eighty-nine days, but on August 3 was exchanged. Dur- ing a portion of this time he had been exposed to the fire from the Union batteries at Charleston, S.C. He returned to his home, obtained leave of absence, and par- ticipated in the campaign for the reélection of President Lincoln, speaking from the hustings in very many of the states of the Union, and contributing greatly to the success of the campaign. November 21, 1864, he again rejoined his regiment, then near the Weldon Railroad, remaining with the reg- 26 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. iment until the close of the war, and accompanying it home. A portion of this time he was in command of the brigade to which his regiment was attached, and participated in the assault at Petersburg, Va., April 2, 1865. ’ Immediately after reaching home he was elected sec- retary of state, which position he held two years. In 1867 he was elected governor of the state, and again in 1868. In 1868 he took a prominent part in the cam- paign for the first election of Grant for president. On the gth of June, 1869, he entered upon his duties as naval officer at Boston, which position he held for nearly eight years. In 1881 he was again a member of the legislature,—this time from Concord, which had been his home many years. In 1879 he published his History of Warner, and in 1882 he made a journey to the Old World, visiting Palestine and the East, and on his return published his ‘‘In the Orient,” a book full of interesting details. But signs came to him that his busy and useful life was soon to end: these precursors were dizziness of the head and sinking spells, from each one of which he rallied, until July 17, 1883, when he was prostrated by a fearful stroke. From this he never fully recovered, and on July 25, 1884, he passed away. His remains were bur- ied at Warner by Sturtevant Post, G. A. R., of which he was a member. His biographer says of his burial,— ‘‘There the tall shaft of granite, product of his own beloved state, appropriately stands, sacred to the mem- ory of that other characteristic and more precious prod- uct of New Hampshire, the true, self-ennobled man, and gifted and gallant, wise and patriotic, eloquent and honored son of the Granite State, who acted well his part in all relations, public and private, and whose life and character the mother shall count among her jewels.” MOSES N. COLLINS. 27 He was appointed brigadier-general by brevet, for gallant and meritorious conduct during the war, to date from March 13, 1865. LIEUTENANT-COLONEL MOSES N. COLLINS. Moses N. Collins was born at Brentwood, N. H., in April, 1820, received his academic education at Gil- manton academy and at Hampton Falls, and subse- quently taught school several years in Maryland. He returned to New Hampshire and commenced the study of law in the office of Murphy & Bartlett, at Epping, and completed it in the office of General Gilman Marston, at Exeter. He was admitted to the bar in 1857, and opened an office in Exeter. He was a member of the legislature from Brentwood in 1855, and from Exeter in 1861 and 1862. When the Eleventh Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers was being raised, he was tendered, and accepted, the position of major of the regiment, and was commissioned as such August 26, 1862. On September 9, 1862, he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, which position he retained until his death. He was ambitious in his profession as a lawyer, and had a bright future before him; but his country was in dan- ger, and he at once enlisted in its defence. Upon joining the regiment, he immediately set about informing himself as to the duties of his new position. Every leisure moment was occupied in fitting himself for the task before him. At Fredericksburg, he, like thou- sands of others, saw at a glance the great odds against a Union victory there; but in the midst of the terrible slaughter of December 13, 1862, he bore a conspicuous part, cheering on his men to daring deeds, and subse- quently was proud that he was second in command of a regiment that stood up so well to its work, as to win 28 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. encomiums from all who witnessed its valor. He followed the fortunes of the regiment in its Kentucky campaign in the spring of 1863, and then in the Mississippi campaign. After Colonel Harriman’s resignation he was in com- mand of the regiment, performing his duties with great acceptance to the regiment, and to his superior officers in -the brigade and division to which the Eleventh was attached. Upon the return to Kentucky, after Vicksburg and Jackson had surrendered, he’ received a furlough on account of ill health, and returned to his home. He rejoined his regiment in Tennessee shortly after the siege of Knoxville was raised, received a warm welcome from officers and men, and was immediately placed in command of the brigade to which his regiment was attached, which position he held until relieved by Colo- nel Carruth, of the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts, who rejoined his regiment after a long absence, having been a portion of the time a prisoner in the hands of the enemy. Colonel Collins then resumed command of his regiment, filling the place until Colonel Harriman’s return. He marched back over the mountains to Nicho- lasville with the regiment, on foot, carrying his own pack with the men of the Eleventh. Daylight on the morning of May 6, 1864, found the regiment engaged with the enemy in the dense woods of the Wilderness. During the forenoon Colonel Collins was conspicuous along his regiment, he and Colonel Harriman both being untiring in their vigilance. When the brigade was placed in its new position just after noon of this day, and had advanced over several lines of men lying on the ground and refusing to advance, so terrific was the fire from the enemy, so terrible the storm of iron hail, that the earth fairly trembled with the roar of the horrible, deadly battle. At this moment, and just as the EVARTS W. FARR. 29 order was given to ‘* Charge the enemy’s lines!” Colonel Collins, who had exhibited a coolness and bravery excelled ‘by no one, received a bullet through his head, and fell to the ground, dead. He gave his valuable life for his country, and he gave it fighting bravely. His regiment lost a beloved officer and the state one of its most worthy citizens. His last command, just before the bullet went crashing through his brain, was an assuring: one to his men, as he said, ‘‘ Steady, men! Steady!” His body was found and buried by some men of the Eleventh belonging to the Ambulance Corps, but was not sent home at any time. In 1867, Chaplain Lyford and Lieutenant Goodall visited the Wilderness battle-- field, and found where the bodies of Colonel Collins and. Lieutenant A. E. Hutchins were buried. The latter’s. body was brought to his home for interment, and a head_ stone tablet placed at the grave of the former, who lies. buried on the farm of a Mr. Ross. MAJOR EVARTS W. FARR. Evarts W..Farr was the son of John and Tryphena. (Morse) Farr, and was born in Littleton, N. H., Octo-. ber 10, 1840. At the age of twelve years he began. to earn his own support and to secure means for an educa- tion. Inthe autumn of 1856 he entered the academy at. Thetford, Vt., leaving the same in 1859 with valedictory honors. He entered Dartmouth college in 1859. In April, 1861, he was one of the first men to enlist under the call of President Lincoln for volunteers, and _ his. name so stands enrolled. June 4, 1861, he received the commission of first lieutenant of Company G, Second. New Hampshire Volunteers. During the year he was. seriously ill for a portion of the time, but, recovering his. 30 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. health, on January 1, 1862, he was commissioned cap- tain of Company G. On the 5th day of May, at Williamsburg, while in the act of firing, his right arm was shattered by a Minié ball ; but coolly picking up his revolver he passed to the rear, where he remained with wet clothing for forty-eight hours. He was then conveyed to Fortress Monroe, and thence to his home, which he reached in fifteen days from the time of his being wounded, his-right arm in the meantime having been amputated at the shoulder. In six weeks he returned to the front. On the 4th of the fol- lowing September, he resigned his commission as cap- tain to accept a position in the Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers tendered him by Governor Berry and his council, and on the gth of the same month he was com- missioned major of the Eleventh ; and shortly after, on December 13, 1862, he participated in the battle of Fred- ericksburg, having command of the left wing of the regi- ment. Major Farr was with his regiment in Mississippi, but upon the return of the regiment to Kentucky he was granted a furlough. Upon its expiration, he reported to General Burnside at Cincinnati, and was placed on de- tached service, serving most of the time until the war closed as judge advocate on court-martial duty. After the war he practised law in his native town, Lit- tleton, and took high rank asa lawyer. He was assist- ant assessor and assessor of his internal revenue district, was solicitor for Grafton county, and was at one time a member of the governor’s council. He was elected to the forty-sixth congress of the United States by ‘a hand- some plurality and majority, and served with great fidel- ity upon the Committee on Pensions. He was reélected _ to the forty-seventh congress in November, 1880. Shortly after his reélection, he took a violent cold, resulting in pneumonia, from which he died November 30, 1880. CHARLES R. MORRISON. 31 Eloquent eulogies were paid to his worth by his fellow- members in congress. When the Eleventh Regiment in its advance on the battle-field of Fredericksburg first received the terrific fire of the enemy, Major Farr, in command of the left wing, raised his sword and shouted loudly, ‘ Boys, we’ve got to go up there, and the sooner we get there the better it will be for us: Come on!” And he started at once on the double-quick, as did everybody else. ADJUTANT CHARLES R. MORRISON. Charles R. Morrison, third son of William S. and Stira (Young) Morrison, was born in Bath, N. H., Jan- uary 22, 1819. He married, December 22, 1842, Susan Fitch, of Littleton. In the autumn of 1836 he entered the Newbury (Vt.) seminary, where he continued his attendance both spring and fall for three years, teaching school in the winter, and going into the hay-field in the summer, and thus fitted for college. He entered the office of Goodall & Woods as a student at law July, 1839. In July, 1842, he was admitted to the bar and be- came an equal partner of Mr. Goodall; removed to Hav- erhill in March, 1845; and on August 4, 1851, he was commissioned by Gov. Samuel Dinsmore ‘‘ Circuit Justice of the Court of Common Pleas,” and held the office until 1855. He continued the practice of law until Fort Sum- ter was fired upon, when he tendered his services to Gov- ‘ernor Goodwin and afterwards to Governor Berry, but for some reason these were not accepted. In 1850 he was Division Inspector 4th Div. N. H. Militia, and upon the formation of the Eleventh Regiment he solicited of Colonel Harriman the position of adjutant, and was com- missioned September 1, 1862, ‘‘ Lieutenant Adjutant.” ‘ 32 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. He was mustered September 2, 1862, and served in that capacity until September 19, 1864, when he resigned and was honorably discharged from the service. He par- ticipated in the battles of Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, Jackson, East Tennessee, Wilderness, and Spottsylvania. At Fredericksburg he was twice wounded,—first, upon the left forearm by a piece of shell; and second, a contusion upon the left leg below the knee, as he was on his way from the head of the regiment to Colonel Harriman to deliver him an order to hold his men in readiness to charge. Again, at Spottsylvania, May 12, 1864, while fighting bravely, he was dangerously wound- ed in the abdomen by a Minié ball, which he picked from his wound, and preserves as a memento of that terrific battle. In consequence of this wound he was carried to Fredericksburg, thence to Washington and Annapolis, and, when well enough, received a leave of absence of twenty days, and went honre. He reported back to the hospital July 26, and to his regiment the morning of July 31, 1864, the day after the mine explosion. He was four weeks in hospital at Knoxville after the termination of the siege because of sickness and prostration. After his discharge he resumed the practice of law in Manchester, whete he remained till November, 1886, when he removed to Concord where he still resides. His brother, Captain James Swan Morrison, became a civil engineer, and, having been in the South for several years before the war broke out, joined his sym- pathies with the cause of the Confederacy. Upon the: arrival of the Eleventh Regiment in East Tennessee. Adjutant Morrison made inquiries for his brother, he having been employed at one time as engineer on the Greenville & French Broad Railroad. When last heard from he was residing at Morristown, Tennessee, and thither Adjutant Morrison went; there he learned that Moree ber Bail Noh to NY FAMES F. BRIGGS. 53 James was acting as first lieutenant in Company A, Third Regiment, Engineer. Troops, generally under General Bragg. Adjutant Morrison visited’ his brother’s place of residence when the Eleventh reached Morris- town, but found that he had left the day before. The adjutant wrote him a note asking, ‘‘ What did you leave for, just as I was coming?” and left it. In a few days Morristown was again in the hands of the rebels, and his brother answered saying, ‘‘I left because I did not like the company you were in. If you have any boots to spare, and they are not contraband of war, leave them for me.” The brothers did not meet during the war, although several times they were only a few hours’ march apart. Adjutant Morrison since the war has published the following works: ‘‘ Digest of the N. H. Reports ;” ‘*Town Officer;” ‘* Probate Laws and Directory ;” ‘¢ Justice and Sheriff and Attorney’s Assistant;” ‘+ Di- gest of the Laws relating to Common Schools ;” ‘‘ Proofs of Christ’s Resurrection from the Lawyer’s Stand-point.” As adjutant, he was very faithful in the discharge of his duties, his morning reports usually” being the first received at head-quarters, and all other reports were promptly furnished. MAJOR JAMES F. BRIGGS. James F. Briggs, son of John and Nancy (Franklin) Briggs, was born in Bury, Lancashire, England, October 23d, 1827. At the age of fourteen months he came to New England with his parents, who resided first in Andover, then in Saugus and Amesbury, Mass., until 1836, when they removed to Holderness (now Ash- land), and the father became a manufacturer of woollen cloths. At the age of fourteen, the son attended school at Newbury, Vt., and later at Tilton, working in his 3 34 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. father’s factory a portion of the time to gain means for his education. He arranged to read law with Hon. William C. Thompson, at Plymouth, but the death of his father changed his plans, and one year later he entered the office of Hon. Joseph C. Burrows, at Holder- ness. In 1850 his family removed to Fisherville (now Penacook), and he finished his law studies in the office of Judge Butler, from which he was admitted to the bar in 1851. A month later he settled at Hillsborough Bridge, and commenced the practice of his profession. He was one of the representatives to the legislature from Hillsborough in 1856 and 1857, and the latter year he was the Democratic candidate for speaker of the house. Upon the formation of the Eleventh Regiment, Mr. Briggs was commissioned its quartermaster, August 22, 1862, and was with the regiment at the battle of Fredericks- burg; buton the 29th of December following he resigned his position and returned to his home. January 28, 1863, he was reappointed quartermaster of the regiment, and accompanied it on its Mississippi campaign until August 1, 1863, when he again resigned his position and was honorably discharged from the service. In 1871 he removed from Hillsborough to Manchester. He was one of the representatives from Manchester in the legislature in 1874, and was a state senator in 1876. He was a member of congress six years, in the forty- fifth, forty-sixth, and forty-seventh congresses, holding important positions upon committees. Since then he has several times been one of the representatives in the legis- lature of the state from Manchester. He married Rox- anna Smith, of New Hampton, whom he survives. Although from his position a non-combatant in time of battle, yet at the battle of Fredericksburg Major Briggs was in the thickest of the fight, passing along the regi- ment cheering on the men to heroic duty. CHAPTER II. From NovEMBER 10, 1862, Tro DecEMBER 16, 1862—ON THE MarcH— At FREDERICKSBURG—COLONEL HARRIMAN’S ACCOUNT OF THE BarTLyE—HERMAN J. Earon’s DESCRIPTION—CHARGES OF THE ELEVENTH—CAPTAIN PINGREE’S REMINISCENCES. Monday morning, November 10, the regiment was ordered to ‘‘ Fall in!” with rifles and ammunition only, as a battery supported by the Twenty-first Massachusetts Regiment was shelling the enemy just in our advance, and the order came to ‘‘ Hurry up the Eleventh New Hampshire to the rescue!”’ Down the road the boys went in fine style, every gun loaded and every man with his eyes and ears open, only to receive an order in a few minutes to ‘‘About face!” as the rebs had skedaddled. The regiment rested under arms during the day, and at night Company D was detailed for the advanced picket- line, where it remained until Wednesday morning, ‘November 12. At three o’clock the regiment marched toward Warrenton, Company. D having the advance guarding the supply train, and before noon the Second Brigade was in camp at White Sulphur Springs. And it was just in time, for its old camp at Jeffersonville was occupied by the enemy in force before it had fairly got away. The Second Brigade of the Second Division of the Ninth Corps had the advance to and from Jefferson- ville, and the division commander, General Sturgis, said the Eleventh New Hampshire Regiment had the honor of having encamped farther into Virginia than any other regiment since the advance commenced. The halt here was a very welcome one to the boys, as the marching and bivouacking in the cold, stormy weather, together 36 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. with short rations, had told severely upon very many of them. On Saturday the regiment broke camp and were fairly on the road, when the enemy opened fire upon our troops, with the evident purpose of securing some supply trains, of which they very plainly stood in need. Some rebel cavalry attempted to ford the river and head off the trains, but a company of the Seventh Rhode Island emptied a few saddles for them, and they retreated.” This was the first time the regiment was under fire, and for two hours shot, shell, and railroad iron flew over the heads of the men in a lively manner. Two pioneers belonging to the regiment were slightly wounded. Four baggage-wagons in the train were burned to prevent their falling into the enemy’s hands. The march was resumed about noon, and several miles made before the regiment encamped for the night. The next day, November 16, it . marched to Warrenton Junction, on the Orange Railroad, remaining there until Monday, November rz, when a march of eight miles was made through a poor, sandy country. It then bivouacked, and the next day, after a march of twelve miles, went into camp at Hartwood, eight miles from Fredericksburg. This last march was made mostly through the fields and woods, in order to give the roads to the artillery, ambulance, supply, and baggage trains. The sight was an inspiring one, with all of these trains and tens of thousands of troops hurrying, rushing onward,—and whither? Wednesday morning, November 19, the regiment broke camp at six o’clock, and commenced its day’s march, which it was hoped would end in Fredericks- burg; but after a march of some nine miles a halt was made on the bank of the river opposite Fredericksburg, in full view of the city, and there the officers and men of the Eleventh Regiment came together under the AT FREDERICKSBURG. 37 branches of a large oak tree, and grew eloquent and enthusiastic over the prospect of an easy capture of the city: ‘‘ But few of the enemy were over there. The river could be forded at Falmouth, and thousands of brave men were ready to do it.” But no, pontoons must be laid before we could cross,—and where were they? Official records show that General Burnside was promised pon- toons for his bridges to cross the river into Fredericks- burg, and that he expected to find them there on or about the time of the arrival of his army at Falmouth. Official records also show that on Wednesday, November 19, 1862 (the day the army began to arrive at Falmouth expecting to cross over into Fredericksburg), Captain Spaulding, in charge of the pontoons,—for they were the same that composed the bridge upon which the army crossed at Berlin at the commencement of the advance,— acting under orders from General Woodbury, engineer officer in charge, started from Washington to haul his pontoons overland to Fredericksburg. A series of mis- fortunes befell him. Some of the pontoons had been dis- patched by water to Acquia Creek. Precious time was wasted, and when the pontoons arrived Fredericksburg heights were bristling with cannon and bayonet, bidding defiance to the Union commander and his brave army of an hundred thousand men. Who was responsible for all this? General Sumner, who had led the advance on the 19th of November, and who demanded the surrender of Fred- ericksburg on the 21st, testified that he was positive if he had had the pontoons within three days after his arrival at Falmouth, he could have occupied the heights in the rear of Fredericksburg without material opposi- tion. General Franklin wished ‘‘ to impress as firmly upon the committee as it was impressed upon his own” mind 38 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. the fact ‘‘ that the whole disaster had resulted from the delay in the arrival of the pontoon bridges. Whoever is responsible for that delay is responsible for all the dis- asters which have followed.” General Hooker asserts that ‘‘he heard General Hal- leck or General. Meigs assure Burnside that the pontoons would be at Falmouth in three days,” and further said, “JT think it [the responsibility of having the pontoons at Falmouth in season] necessarily rested upon Gen- eral Halleck and General Meigs, because it was beyond the control of General Burnside, who was not where he could control it.” It is a matter of history now who was responsible for the non-arrival of the pontoons at the proper time.!_ They were not there when the head of the army arrived, and the Eleventh Regiment, not being able to go over into Fredericksburg as it had fondly hoped to do when it broke camp on the morning of November 19, about six o’clock at night of that day went into camp upon_a high plateau below Fredericksburg, on the left bank of the Rappahannock; so that the march, which, when the army left Pleasant Valley nearly one month before, was expected to end at Richmond, ‘ended on the Rappa- hannock, whose deep, dark waters lay between it and Lee’s apparently invincible hosts resting in perfect secu- rity in their impregnable quarters. Here the men of the regiment made themselves as comfortable as was possi- ble, doing guard and picket duty, and living largely upon . the exciting rumors that daily, and at times hourly, filled the camp. A great army was lying about, drums were beating, fifes were screaming, bugles were sending out their clear notes calling to duty, and all were waiting and wondering what would be the next move, or whether there would be one at all: no one knew what was ahead. 1The Committee on the Conduct of the War. GENERAL ORDERS. 39 Shortly after leaving Pleasant Valley, an order regu- lating the march was issued by General McClellan, which was, as a whole, very offensive to the army, especially to those who did not believe in fighting the enemy and feeding him at the same time. The purport of this order was, that if the provost guards caught any soldier straggling with the evident intention of foraging upon the country through which the army passed, he was to be arrested, and, if detected in the act of foraging, he was to be shot, and this order was car- ried into execution upon many a soldier. The march of the Ninth Corps to Fredericksburg was made under the following order, which order was read upon each regi- mental dress-parade before the march was commenced: HEAD-QUARTERS NINTH ARMY CORPS, PLEASANT VALLEY, MpD., OCTOBER 23, 1862. GENERAL ORDERS, No. 7. ° The attention of the division commanders is hereby called to General Orders, No. 155, Army of the Potomac, on the subject of straggling. A copy of these orders will be furnished to every company in their commands, and a strict compliance therewith enforced, together with the following Standing Orders for March: 1. All troops will be habitually marched in good order, in silence, with their arms properly carried on leaving camp, and until the com- mand «Route step!” or «Arms at will!” is given. This applies to small detachments as well as regiments. 2. All officers are to remain constantly at their station during the march. The lieutenant-colonels and majors, or officers acting as such, will march in rear of their respective wings. If there is only one act- ing field officer beside the commanding officer of the regiment, his post is in the rear of the regiment. 3. One company officer will march at the rear of each company. Commanding officers of brigades and regiments, assisted by their staff, will move from one point to another as occasion requires their presence for the preservation of order, and particularly for the prevention of unnecessary defiling and straggling. _ 4.. When marching at ease, files may be loosened, but each route, 40 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. section, platoon, or company must be kept perfectly distinct, and every man must remain exactly in his place. The inattention of file closers. must be promptly rebuked. The officer commanding the leading regi-- ment will halt his regiment half an hour after the column marches, unless it should interfere with the movement of the column from camp, and if so, as soon thereafter as practicable. At this halt fifteen min- utes will be allowed for the men to ease themselves, the men stacking arms, The column will halt five minutes at the end of each hour thereafter. If a longer halt is thought necessary, the commanding officer will direct it. _5. As often as the width of the road admits, each regiment and detachment will march with company platoon or section front. 6. No regiment, company, or section is at any time to defile or diminish. its front, or attempt in any way to avoid any bad spot in the road, unless the preceding regiment or company has done so. 7. Whenever defiling or undoubling is necessary, it must be exe- cuted with order and precision, as in manceuvring at drill, by the proper word of command preceded by the word «Attention !” 8. When a regiment or company comes to a bad place in the road where the men will be likely to defile individually, the officers must be on the alert and call out to the men to keep their ranks. g. When a bad place is to be passed, the field officers will go to the head of their respective wings to see it regularly done. They will remain at the spot till the whole of their wings have passed, and then resume their stations in the rear. 1o. Whenever a stream, ditch, or bank, or other obstacle is to be crossed, it will be found generally that instead of defiling, or diminish- ing front, the very contrary should be done, not only. by causing the files of each section to extend gradually before they arrive at the ditch or obstacle, but even by forming platoons or companies. 11. It is proved that the defiling of one regiment on the march, even if done with as much prompitude as is practicable on such occa- sions, will cause a delay of ten minutes. One such obstacle, if not passed without defiling, would therefore delay a brigade, consisting of three regiments, half an hour, and in the winter, when obstacles of this kind are frequent, and the days are short, a column which is constantly defiling without cause will arrive at its quarters in the dark ; whereas, if it had performed the march regularly, it would have got in by good time. 12, After passing an obstacle or ascending a hill, the leading com- pany of each regiment will stop short until the last company of. the THANKSGIVING IN CAMP. 41 regiment has passed and closed up, although a large interval should be thereby occasioned between it and the preceding regiment. 13. If the head of a regiment cannot keep up with the preceding regiment, the commanding officer will forward the notice to the head of the column,. detaching files at the same time to preserve the commu- nication with the preceding regiment. 14. This order respecting defiling is, therefore, as much calculated to provide for the personal ease and comfort-of the men, as it is essential for the due performance of the movement of the army. 15. On arriving at camp, each division commander will send a staff officer, or orderly, to the head-quarters of the corps; division com- manders will also at once make themselves acquainted with all the roads and topographical features in the neighborhood, so as to be able to expedite the marches by day, or by night, and obtain favorable ground for attack, defence, advance, or retreat, as well as facilitate the movement and security of their trains. 16. The division commanders are directed to take particular precau- tions against surprise. They will also give such precise instructions to the officers of the medical department, pioneers, ordnance, ambulances, and baggage-wagons as will enable those officers to furnish needed labor and supplies at the required point with the utmost promptness. 17. It is important, for the sake of concert of action and to ensure success in the field, that communication should be constantly main- tained between the troops; the division commanders will therefore take measures to communicate with the head-quarters of the corps, and, as far as practicable, with each other on the march. A copy of the above will be furnished and read to every company. By command of Brigadier-General Willcox, [Signed] Rosert A. HuTCHINS, Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General. Official : G. H. McKisBen, Assistant Adjutant-General. November 24 the regiment moved its camp one mile farther up the heights upon which it was encamped, and on to drier ground. Thursday, November 27, was the first Thanksgiving Day spent by the boys in the service. The chaplains of the brigade held a union service with the Eleventh boys, and the band enlivened the services , 42 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. by playing several selections, including ‘Auld Lang Syne,” “‘ Hail, Columbia,” and ‘* Yankee Doodle.” The turkeys and other fixings usually had at home were sadly missing. And so the days sped on,—each bring- ing its duties, and each one finding more and more of ‘the boys ill. The cold, wet weather told fearfully upon the men in their little shelter tents, and the surgeon’s call in the morning was usually well attended. In some regiments there were large numbers ailing. The Eleventh had its full share, and several men died in spite of all efforts to save them. Following the brigade were several ladies from Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania, with large supplies for the soldiers of the brigade belonging to those states, and to care for the sick and dying. New Hampshire ‘had none in the field at that time to administer these kind offices to the boys of the Eleventh, and if they secured anything of the kind, they had to ask for it, which requests, in all honor to the ladies be it said, were never refused by them when the solicitor was found worthy and stood in need. December 1, 1862, the boys of the regiment were made happy by the appearance of Major Sherman, of New Jersey, an old pupil of Colonel Harriman’s when he was a teacher in that state. The regiment was paid to October 1 preceding, and right glad were they to see some of the ‘‘needful” once more. The sutler was well patronized for a time, and whenever there was anything to be had for the comfort of the inner or outer man, it was forthcoming if money would purchase it. Others, still, remembered the loved ones at home, and a good share of what they had received was sent by express, or by letter, to those at home who were continuously in their mind. Meantime Burnside was busying himself with the alternative, Shall I put my army into winter quarters, or IN FRONT OF FREDERICKSBURG. 43 shall I press the enemy with all the means at my dis- posal? It was indeed a question of great moment, and it was decided by him with a view to fulfilling his promise made when placed in command of the Army of the Poto- mac,—‘* I'll try, sir.” The advantages of crossing the river at various points were well considered, as were also the probabilities of success. He concluded to throw his pontoons across the river, and march his troops directly across into Fredericksburg and deliver battle with one portion of his army, another portion crossing the river farther down—a distance of two miles—to attack the enemy on his flank while the battle was delivered upon his front. And this, too, in the face of the difficulties so viv- idly portrayed by Rev. Mr. Woodbury in his ‘‘ Ninth Army Corps:” ‘*Beyond the town lay the slope up which the army was to march in order to reach the enemy’s lines. Above the slope frowned the enemy’s batteries. The main task was to carry these heights, bristling with bayonets and dark with cannon. It was a perilous undertaking. For the first time in its history the Army of the Potomac was to ‘move on the enemy’s works’ for a determined assault. It had shown itself unequalled for defensive warfare. Could it successfully take the aggressive? The answer to that momentous question was soon to be given in fire and blood.” Behind these works rested General Lee, with an army 80,000 strong, of his best troops, eager for the advance of Burn- side. On the morning of December 10, 1862, there was in front of the enemy at Fredericksburg an effective force, as shown by the morning reports of that day, of 111,834 officers and men of all arms of the service. There were three grand divisions: The one on the left, commanded by General Franklin, consisting of the First and Sixth 44 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. corps; the centre, commanded by General Hooker, con- sisting of the Third and Fifth corps; and the right, com- manded by General Sumner, consisting of the Ninth and Second corps. A large number of men from each of these grand divisions were occupied in guarding the railroad and doing picket duty, while the cavalry was held in reserve. This great army lay along the river waiting for the order to advance: our duty is with the New Hampshire Eleventh and its brave deeds. The night of December 9 was a busy one. ‘Troops were marching in all directions, accompanied by bat- teries and wagons; drums were rolling the entire night. Early on the morning of the roth, the men of the Eleventh were furnished with three days’ cooked rations and sixty rounds of ammunition, with orders to be ready to march at a moment’s notice. During the night the artillery was posted along the river from Falmouth to the Mattapony, and early on the morning of the 11th iron hail belched from hundreds of iron throats Upon the enemy’s ranks on Fredericksburg heights. While this bombarding fire was going on, the engineers under Gen- eral Woodbury were attempting to lay a bridge across the river for the passage of troops, and one was nearly completed before the work was discovered by Barksdale’s Mississippi sharpshooters, who were posted in the houses in the city, and the men were driven from their work. Burnside then ordered the guns to open on the city, which order was responded to in a terrific manner. More than one hundred pieces of artillery kept up a ter- rible fire until the buildings, many of them, were com- pletely riddled, and the city set on fire in several places ; but still the enemy clung to their positions and had per- fect control of the river. General Woodbury reported to Burnside that the bridges ‘* could not be built.” «« They must be built,” replied Burnside; and again the engi- IN FREDERICKSBURG. 45. neers went bravely to their work, but were soon obliged to desist. Burnside then called for volunteers to cross the river in boats and dislodge the sharpshooters, which was bravely done by men from the Seventh Michigan and Nineteenth and Twentieth Massachusetts, with men from the Fiftieth New York as oarsmen. A number of: men from the Eighty-ninth New York crossed at another point. In half an hour Fredericksburg was ours, the bridges were soon completed, and troops began to cross. During the terrific firing on the morning of the 11th, “¢Fall in, New Hampshire Eleventh!” came in the clear, ringing tones of Colonel Harriman, and in a few minutes the regiment was on the march towards the river, and, when near it, halted and remained all day,— but just at dusk went back to its old camp-ground for the night. Early on the morning of the 12th the regiment left its ‘camp, Crossed the river into Fredericksburg, and filed under the bank of the river, where it remained during the day and the night following. Troops were everywhere, . and the day was very busily spent by them in looking for articles ‘‘ rare and antique.” Some of the boys found some flour and lard, and turned many an honest penny by selling fried doughnuts; and the writer of this had nothing for rations from the 12th until the 14th, save doughnuts from a well stored haversack. But there was hard, dangerous work ahead. Early on the morning of the 13th the regiment moved down Caroline street—the main street of the city—to the lower part of the town, where it rested on its arms. Artillery from both sides were firing briskly, and shells and bricks were filling the air at times. At 11:30 Colonel Harriman received orders to move his regiment to the attack. The regiment, being the first of the brigade to 46 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. advance, filed into Princess Charlotte street, and the men lay upon the sidewalks waiting for the order to advance. Presently it came, and the regiment went down the street, past the brick kilns behind which stood the com- mander of the brigade, General Ferrero, who in a short speech to the Eleventh New Hampshire a few hours before had said, —‘* Men of the New Hampshire Eleventh : I expect every man to do his duty in the coming fight. J will not ask you to go anywhere that [will not lead you: Follow me!—and that was the last seen of him by the regiment until the battle was over. It filed to the right, and, crossing the Fredericksburg & Richmond Railroad, formed a line of battle in front of the rebel works: the men were ordered to lie down and await the order to join. The firing from the enemy was severe: precious time was being wasted, and the men exposed to a murderous fire. After what seemed an age, almost, an aide from somebody came cringing along in a cow- ardly manner to the left of the regiment and said, ‘ Tell your colonel to advance by the front,” and onward it went, men continually falling dead or wounded. Part way up the slope a Pennsylvania regiment was encoun- tered, running to the rear as fast as their cowardly legs would take them, but on the Eleventh pressed, in the midst of a terrific fire from the enemy’s works, which belched forth ‘‘ sheeted damnation” in a terrible manner. The men wavered not, but soon gained an elevation look- ing down into the enemy’s works. The regiment was now with their detachment, Colonel Harriman at the right wing, Companies D and F in the centre, and Major Farr with the remainder of the left wing farther to the left, all fighting bravely. Men fell dead and wounded in large numbers. Soon rein- forcements began to arrive, and their coming was her- alded by an increased firing from the enemy. BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. 47 All this time the Union artillery posted across the river was silent, their shot doing more harm to the Union troops than to the enemy. Some regiments came to the rear of the line where the fighting was going on, and there in their fright would rise up and fire at random, and had to be silenced by the men in front. Most of the regiments that came, went into the fight bravely, at dusk the whole line being crowded with men without much regard to formation in some parts of it. The enemy’s front seemed alive with men preparing to repulse the Union charge, which was made with a terrible rush. Hundreds of pieces of artillery from the rebel works rained their fierce defiance of grape, canister, shells, and solid shot, and thousands of muskets filled the air with leaden hail. The heavens were lurid with a fiery flame ; peal on peal, crash on crash, benumbing the hear- ing and almost bewildering the senses, raged the fearful charge, but it was as bravely met ;—the stone-wall was ours, and a portion of the enemy’s rifle-pits, and it seemed at one time as though the crest would be carried; but ‘‘thus far and no farther’ was still said in earnest behind those breastworks—and the battle was over. Still the firing was fearful at different points. After this desperate charge, the regiment, gathering up its wounded as best it could, went back to the city, having earned for itself a proud name for its bravery, for at no point was the fighting more severe than upon that part of the line where the Eleventh New Hampshire was engaged, and where it had been fighting for six long hours. During this time the men of the Eleventh quailed not, fully meriting this compliment from its division com- mander, General Sturgis, himself one of the best fight- ers in the Army of the Potomac. While urging forward some of his old troops during that terrible afternoon, he said, ‘‘See the men of the Eleventh. New Hampshire, 48 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. standing on that crest, like so many stone posts imbedded in the ground.” During this fearful afternoon fourteen brigades of Union troops charged in front of Marye’s hill. General Longstreet says that in his opinion ‘‘ the Federal army fought more desperately at Fredericksburg than in any other battle of the war,” and certainly there could be no better authority. Sunday afternoon, the 14th, the Eleventh Regiment was ordered to be ready for picket duty, and, just after dusk, went out of the city and picketed a portion of the battle-field of the day before. There was continuous firing, but little damage was done. At dark the next night, the 15th, an order was received for the regiment, as soon as relieved from picket duty, to march back to the city and prepare to defend it to the last. No relief came, however, and Col. Harriman, getting impatient, went back to the line of pickets in the rear and found them gone; then to the next line, and they too were gone ; and so on, to the right and left in all directions, no troops were to be found. After a hurried consultation with Lieutenant-Colonel Collins and Major Farr, both of whom advised an immediate retreat, the regiment took up its march, and went down into the city to find nearly the whole army across the river once more. While the men were resting on their arms, General Ferrero made his appearance, and said, ‘All right, Colonel, I was just going to relieve you!” and the regiment, together with the rest of its brigade, went back to its old camp, which it had left on the morning of the 12th, tired, worn, and hungry, but not disheartened. They had won for them- selves a name for brave, heroic deeds that could not be taken from them. General Willcox, commanding the corps, said of the men of the Second Brigade, of which the Eleventh Regiment was a part,—** All these troops AFTER THE BATTLE. 49 behaved well, and marched under a heavy fire across the broken plain, pressed up to the field at the foot of the enemy’s sloping crest, and maintained every inch of their ground with great obstinacy until after night-fall. But the position could not be carried.” Rev. Mr. Wood- bury, in his ‘‘ Ninth Army Corps,” says of the Eleventh New Hampshire and the Seventh Rhode Island,—*‘ Both were new regiments, and both received at Fredericks- burg their initiation of blood. They stood at their posts with the steadiness of veterans; they advanced with the enthusiasm of genuine soldiers ; they won the encomiums of all who witnessed their valor on this their first day of battle.” Details were made from the,regiment to assist at the hospital, and also to cross the river and aid in burying the dead. Upon one acre of ground, where the Eleventh with other regiments fought, 620 dead men were found and buried. The details from the enemy who assisted in this sad task were very friendly and social. They were especially anxious to know the name of the regiment that had fought so determinedly upon the crest almost unaid- ed for so long a time, and when informed that it was the Eleventh New Hampshire, replied,—‘‘ You fought like devils, and if we ever meet on picket, we will not attempt to shoot you if you will not us.” At the hospital were witnessed scenes sad enough to appall the stoutest heart. Poor fellows with an arm or other limb gone, shot through the head, the lungs, the mouth, the throat, their bodies mangled with shot and shell, crying piteously for water, for anything that would relieve or that would end their misery,—all being cared for as rapidly as the force at command could attend to them. 4 50 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. COLONEL HARRIMAN’S ACCOUNT. Wednesday, November 19. Broke camp at 6 o’clock in the morning and marched, we hoped and believed, for Fredericksburg. The distance made to-day, eight or nine miles. On coming to the bank of the Rap- pahannock below Falmouth, and directly opposite to Fredericksburg and in full view of that city, the officers of the Eleventh, while the column was ata halt, came together under the branches of an oak tree, and grew eloquent over the prospect of the easy capture of that city. ‘‘ No rebels of any account are now there, the river can be forded without difficulty, and the men are ready for it. But remarkable counsels prevail: we must wait, wait for pontoons to cross on, which will be simply wait- ing for the rebel army to arrive and intrench itself!” After tedious waiting this afternoon we got into camp at 6 o’clock, on a high plateau a little below Fredericks- burg, but on the left bank of the Rappahannock. From Warrenton Junction to this point we have presented a magnificent spectacle. An immense army, feeling that it was engaged in a holy cause and marching on to glorious victory, could not feel otherwise than elated at the prospect before it. We have marched from that point in three lines abreast. To explain it, it may be said that three roads running parallel to each other and very near together were occupied by our army during these last three days. ‘There were in reality no roads at all, or next to none; only such as we made through forest and field as we moved upon the Confederacy. In this grand advance we have had six army corps, amounting in all to 100,000 men. December 11, Thursday. Bombardment of the city of Fredericksburg.

The city was frightfully torn to pieces : the inhabitants had left for parts unknown. Saturday, December 13, 1862. This day we have had a most fearful, sanguinary battle. The battle-field was just in the rear of the city, and at this moment, as J write, many thousands of noble dead and wounded lie upon the ground. The grand total loss is not now known. The loss in my regiment in killed and wounded is about 175, and it is frightful. I feel it ten times more at this moment (midnight) than I did in the midst of the iron hail, when my men were momentarily falling about me. The Eleventh Regiment formed a line early in the morning ; at 9 o’clock moved down Caroline street to the lower part of the town, and rested on their arms in the street till half past eleven, forenoon. I then received orders to move my regiment to the attack. The Eleventh was chosen as the first regiment of the brigade, and the first of the division, to move upon the enemy. J? dzsap- pointed the high expectations of no one. We filed out on Princess Charlotte street which runs back at right angles from the river. The fire of the enemy had already opened, and by the time we had arrived at the head of this street, one man, Charles M. Lane of Company I, had been severely wounded, and the fire from the rebel batteries and rifle-pits was anything but music. Here we filed to the right, crossed the Fredericksburg & Rich- mond Railroad, moved into the open field at the rear of the city, and formed line of battle. Here I caused the men to lie down snug to the ground, and awaited orders. No orders came. The fire from the enemy had become terribly severe. No general or aid was willing to risk his life where we were. An aid, however, did creep up to near the left of the regiment (I was at the right), and told one of my officers to tell me to advance by the front. This we did, I believe, most gallantly, under a deadly 52 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. fire, our men falling wounded and dead at every step- While thus advancing, a Pennsylvania regiment fled in dismay from the front, breaking through our line and halting only when they had found safety in the city. None of my men, I believe, hesitated in consequence of this. We advanced with a firm tread, on the double- quick, over a smooth field, with no rock, ravine, or road to shield us for an instant from the deadly missiles of the enemy. We reached our post, clear up, almost to the mouth of the rebel gums, in good order, although our ranks had been a good deal thinned by their well directed aim. We held our post from our arrival at about half past twelve o’clock, firing deliberately, coolly, energeti- cally, till we received orders the second time to fall back, this being after dark. At 6 o’clock we retired, and now here we are, on the same ground that we left at 9 o’clock this morning. But such a battle as this has been !—one well calculated to startle the whole world. BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. (BY HERMAN J. EATON, CO. E.) The morning of December 13 was very foggy. About nine o’clock the fog began to lift, and in a very few minutes the great battle we had been looking for was ushered in on the left. It commenced with a heavy artillery fire, but in about half an hour the infantry fire opened, which very plainly told us that ‘‘the pine was swinging against the palm,” and that a great day’s work, long to be remembered, was commencing. Soon the order came for the Eleventh New Hampshire to move down Caroline street. We marched to the lower part of the city, or nearly so, and there made a halt to wait for orders, and listened to the crash of musketry on BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. 53 the left. On the north bank of the river our artillerists stood by their gleaming guns ready for action, firing occasional shots over the city and into the rebel lines. Standing on a shed I could see over some portions of the field where the Union forces were so soon to advance, and where they were to stagger and crouch under a merciless fire from the enemy. Already I could see the red hospital flag flying from many of the large buildings and from the churches. A little past eleven o’clock General F rode up to our brigade, and ordered one regimént to advance and ‘drive in the rebel pickets.” I think the regiment was the Twenty-first Massachusetts. Meanwhile General Couch’s Division, on our right, emerged from the bomb-shattered town, and moved swiftly to the attack. In a very few minutes the regi- ment from our brigade made an attack on the enemy’s picket, and a brisk picket fire opened on our front, which had up to this time been quiet. Some of the boys made the remark, ‘‘ That sounds like popping corn.” At 11 :30 o’clock Colonel Harriman’s voice rang out as clear as a bugle, ‘‘ Fall in, New Hampshire Eleventh!” It was the last ‘‘ Fall in” to a great many. Ere the sun set, many. who were then standing in the ranks with us would ‘‘pass to where, beyond these voices, there is peace.” General F told us to ‘‘ Keep cool: it is good fun when you once get in!” Leaving Caroline street on the double-quick, we turned into Princess Char- lotte street, leading directly to the battle-field. When nearly at the end of the street, a halt was made, and we were ordered to lie down upon the sidewalk; and here our first man was wounded. The fire in our front was rapidly growing hotter and hotter. The harsh notes of the cannon shook the ground, and reverberated among the hills. I could look up to the enemy’s works just at our left, and see the guns belch forth long sheets of flame, 54 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. and hear the crashing of the shells as they struck in our lines. Very soon the order came for us, ‘‘ Forward!” We passed on up the street and over the mill-race, and, as we did so, we passed a brigade who gave us three cheers, clapped their hands, swung their caps, and shouted to us, ‘‘ Go in, Eleventh New Hampshire, go in! You are good for it! Go in, bully boys!” We didn’t cheer much in return: we had something else of im- portance on our minds just then. At the end of the street stood a long bck building reaching nearly to the railroad. This hid us from the enemy. At that point we turned to our right, advancing swiftly for the railroad. As soon as we reached that we were in full view of the enemy, who at once turned all their guns upon us as we crossed it. The first shell that was thrown at us struck in a large pile of railroad ties, and in the twinkling of an eye that entire pile was converted into kindling-wood. The next shell swept through the ranks, instantly killing two soldiers in Com- pany K. After advancing about twenty rods, we were ordered to halt and drop down near an embankment, and close beside a brick-yard, while the shells were thrown at us most fearfully. One fellow, being somewhat fright- ened, cried out, ‘‘ Oh, dear! they ’ll kill every one of us:, not a d—d one of us will be left to tell the story!” I had to laugh in all the fury of the battle. Things looked, however, as if he was about right. All the Union troops that were in our immediate front were only a heavy skirmish line; consequently the enemy had very little to fear from them, but turned their guns upon our devoted heads with deadly effect. While we were lying upon the ground and in the soft mud, waiting for orders, a panic-stricken regiment passed us in disorderly retreat. Many of them threw away their guns, and yelled at us, ‘‘ Don’t go up there: BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. 55 the day is lost!” The officers'ran after them, ordering them to ‘‘ Halt! halt you, , halt!” but no atten- tion was given to their orders. They ran so fast, it looked to me as if their feet didn’t touch the ground more than twice before they were in the town and out of sight. We remained in our position only a few minutes, when we were ordered to make the final advance. In doing so, we had to climb over two high fences. The moment we were on our feet, we were in full view of the ene- my. Then the great war-cloud burst in our front ten times more terrible than ever, and seemed to rival hell itself. Stretched in our front stood the embattled lines of Longstreet. Marye’s hill was one sheet of flame. Then the bright flash leaped from the rebel guns, and the great puffs of smoke rolled upward. Now the Miniés whistled, and the shells screamed over our heads and through the ranks. Now the case-shot hummed, and the splinters from the fences flew in our faces, when, as we neared the enemy’s works, the canister was poured into our ranks, and many of the boys fell, killed or wounded! The ground behind every advancing regi- ment was dotted with blue coats, and gaps were made in the ranks that never could be filled. It can never be written or told: pen, pencil, or words fail to tell the story of that cruel day’s work. The ground, over which we advanced in that furious storm of iron hail and leaden rain, was a gentle slope from the city to the rebel works. Many of the soldiers are of the idea that the ground was a level field, but it is not so. In the days before the war this field was occupied as a fair-ground. The entire field had the appearance of a theatre; the enemy held the tier of seats, and the Union army occupied the stage. The Eleventh Regiment went into the fight, left in front, leading the brigade and the division. The distance we 56 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. had to advance under this terrible fire was from forty to sixty rods, and it was the longest fifty rods I ever saw. It was the famous Washington Artillery, the best in the Confederate service, which played so furiously with lightning flash and thunder stroke, hurling shell and can- ister through our defenceless ranks that day. In all prob- ability there was not another battery on either side during the war, that worked so steadily and rapidly upon a body of men wholly unprotected, as did this battery from noon of that day until after dark.’ Itis also safe to say that no braver army ever stood upon, a field of battle and received, unflinchingly and without wavering, such a ter- rific battery fire, together with the fire from three lines of infantry at the same time, as did the Federal army that day. We gained nothing by that terrible battle, as everybody knows; nevertheless, the Eleventh Regiment is proud to be numbered among the many regiments which composed the fourteen brigades dashed against Marye’s hill on that day. It was Colonel Walton who commanded those guns, and who said just before the battle opened, ‘* My artillery can comb that field so clean that not a chicken can live upon it.” Wild and fearful was the onslaught in the set- ting sun! and the cry that shall never be repeated urged on the last charge, until that crimsoned field seemed to mock the purple clouds above it. For that day the battle was over. Amid the bomb-shattered buildings of the town we sought shelter for the night. There we watched and waited—waited, expecting to be foremost in another fearful assault at early dawn. Yes, there we waited, with bleeding ranks and trailing banners, in terrible sus- pense for the expectant order; waited and listened to the occasional fierce outbursts of the pickets’ deadly fire out on the field; waited and sighed that no victory was ours, while dreadfully glared the iron face of war; waited in BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. 57 the damp chill of night, while death drew his bloody shroud over the fallen on that field so red and wet; ‘waited, until . «« One by one the pale stars faded, And at length the morning broke ; But not one of all the sleepers On that field of death awoke.” On a gentle rise of ground, and about twenty-five rods from that noted ‘‘ stone wall” with which every one is familiar, and nearly in front of Marye’s hill, we made a halt, and there for the first time emptied our muskets at the rebels to the best of our ability, while the cry ran along our line, ‘‘ Give it to ’em, boys; give it to’em!” Just before we reached the rise of ground where we made our halt, Captain Shattuck of Company E fell, mortally wounded, as he was advancing at the head of his company, with his sword in one hand and a musket in the other. Poor Shattuck! There have been tears and breaking hearts for thee! During that memorable afternoon of December 13, we lay on that field enveloped in smoke, amid the deadly roar and crash of battle. My blood chills as I pen these lines, and think how like a shower the hissing bullets flew among us in one incessant stream; how the shells rushed over our heads in their death-dealing flight, and ploughed the ground where we lay! Regiment after regiment was now sent to our support, advancing under the galling fire, and all the way we could protect our- selves was by loading and firing while on the ground. A young soldier, not more than eighteen years of age, belonging to some other regiment, got lost from his command, and joined the Eleventh. He was cool; few older were as much so. He took off his blouse and laid it on the ground, and, placing all of his cartridges upon 58 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. it, stood erect and fired. After using all of his car- tridges, he emptied the boxes of the dead, and continued that way till late in the afternoon, when he fell, pierced by a rebel bullet. The Union batteries were silent, as they endangered the lives of their own men. Late in the afternoon, one of our batteries got into position on a little rise of ground just in the edge of the town; the battery horses were all killed, but the guns were wheeled into position by the artillerists, who were assisted by a regiment of infantry. That battery then opened on the enemy most furiously, firing as fast as they could handle the guns. How sweet the notes of that Union battery sounded to us! I shall never forget them. The enemy’s guns were all brought to bear upon it, and for ten minutes it seemed as though the heavens must fall and the ground would open. So terrible was the fire from the enemy, that in ten or fifteen minutes our men were obliged to abandon their guns, leaving a large number of their comrades dead _ beside them, where they fought so well. The line of battle was five miles in length; the right and centre were in an open field, while on the left it was more uneven and wooded. The Ninth Corps fought in the centre, and a very large part of them diréctly in front of Marye’s hill, where the greatest slaughter of the Union troops was made. All the New Hampshire troops occu- pied a position either in front of Marye’s hill or Lee’s hill, the last named place being just at our left from Marye’s hill. The sunken road and the stone wall were in front of Marye’s hill; behind this wall and in the road lay the rebel division of General McLaws. A citizen of Fredericksburg, long after the war, gave me a history of that great day’s work. His eyes flashed fire as he remarked to me,—‘‘ We made that stone wall count that day, I tell you, sir. The way we piled up BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. 59 them Northern boys in front of that wall was terrible to look upon.” ‘ Just at nightfall General Meagher’s Irish Brigade made their famous charge just at our right, when all that field was lighted up by countless thousands of muskets and the red glare of the cannon. At that fearful moment the great battle seemed to burn more furiously than ever, while the wild yell of the charging troops arose above the roar and clashing of the two armies. A portion of the charge was made in an apple orchard. The owner of the grounds pointed out to me after the war the point reached by their front line, which was only a few feet in front of that deadly stone-wall, showing with what indomitable courage they made the charge under a withering infantry fire, and in the blaze of artillery. They charged to the muzzles of the rebel guns. Of the I,200 men that General Meagher led into action that night, only 280 answered to their names the next morn- ing. Not only the men in the ranks, but many brave officers—including six majors, three colonels, and one adjutant, nearly all of the front line—were swept into eternity. The Confederates in their report said, ‘‘The charge was unparalleled in history.” It was after dark when the battle ceased and the broken ranks of Burnside’s army started for the town. I had gone only a few steps when I stumbled over a large number of dead and wounded. All over that field lay ghastly forms that once were men. A fence corner, whither they had crawled for safety after they were wounded, was packed with the dead and the dying, all cut to pieces by shot and shell. I asked one fellow if I should help him off. ‘Oh, no!” said he, ‘‘ let me alone; let me lie, and die here.” I stooped over and put my hand on another, and as I did so he groaned, ‘‘ Don’t touch me! Iam terribly wounded. I must die!” His 60 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. clothing was completely soaked with blood. Oh! you who were in your quiet homes in the North, can you realize the horrors of that battle-field? General Lee remarked the next morning, as he viewed the ground strewed with the Union dead, ‘‘It is well this is so terri- ble: we would grow too fond of it!” Alas for the thunders of victory’s boast! It was not ours to give. We believed that we were fighting for Liberty and Union, God and the Right. All the spoils war could claim from the shattered Union army were the ashes of her brave. There, under the dim, starlit sky, on a single acre of ground on which the Eleventh Regi- ment stood, lay sx hundred and twenty men, as was proven by actual count on the day of the burial; and doubtless there was twice that number of wounded when the battle ceased. This I saw on the battle-field of Fred- ericksburg, and in my memory I can see it now. I often think of that terrible battle. Before bringing this sketch to a close, I have a com- pliment for the Eleventh New Hampshire, and it seems fitting that I should mention it here, for it came from the enemy. One year after that battle I was conversing with two of Longstreet’s soldiers in Kentucky, who were taken prisoners at Knoxville, Tenn., and were on their way North. They were giving me the rebel side of the story of the battle of Fredericksburg. Said one of them, ‘‘There was one regiment in that battle which we all had a great desire to know the name of. It was large enough for a brigade, and its uniforms were black. After they came out of the city and crossed the railroad, they made a halt, and dropped on the ground near a brick-yard. They were very soon on their feet again, and started in a long line towards our works. We all said—and our officers, too—‘ Boys, they look too hand- some to fire upon, but it must be done: let them have it.’ CHARGES OF THE ELEVENTH. 61 Then we opened on them. Our line was all ablaze, and, well knowing they were new troops, we expected to see them stagger and retreat; but in spite of all our musketry and artillery fire they kept their line perfect, and never wavered.” ‘I at once knew what regiment it was. It was the Eleventh New Hampshire, commanded by the gallant Colonel Walter Harriman. We wore a very dark blue uniform then, which at seventy-five rods, distance looked black. We were the only troops on that part of the line, and I think on the whole field, that did not wear the light army blue. I always considered the above something of a compliment, particularly as it came from the enemy. CHARGES OF THE ELEVENTH. The following is a vivid description of the charges in which the Eleventh Regiment bore such a conspicuous part:1 ‘But while this was transpiring on the left, there was a terrible sacrifice of life at the foot of Marye’s hill. Soon after noon French’s and Hancock’s divisions of the Second Corps, with Sturgis’s Division of the Ninth, ad- vanced over the open field in rear of the town to attack the heights. Officers walked along the lines, giving the last words. ‘Advance, and drive them out with the bay- onet!’ were the orders. ‘«The fifteen thousand in a compact body move to the edge of the plateau. The hills are aflame. All of Longstreet’s guns are thundering. Shells burst in the ranks. The rebel skirmishers, concealed in the houses and behind fences, fire a volley and fall back to the main line. Onward move the divisions. We who behold them from the rear, although we know death stands 1 Charles Carleton Coffin in «Four Years of Fighting,” pp. 170, 171. 62 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. ready to reap an abundant harvest, feel the blood rush- ing with quickened flow through our veins, when we see how gallantly they move forward, firing no shot in return. Nowa sheet of flame bursts from the sunken road, and another from half way up the slope, and yet another from the top of the hill. Hundreds fall; but still on, nearer to the hill, rolls the wave. Still, still it flows on; but we can see that it is- losing its power, and though advancing, it will be broken. It begins to break. It is no longer a wave, but scattered remnants thrown back like rifts of foam. ‘¢A portion of Sturgis’s Division reaches the hollow in front of the hill, and settles into it. The Eleventh New Hampshire, commanded by Colonel Harriman, is in the front line. They are new troops, and this is their first battle; but they fight so gallantly that they win the admiration of their general. ‘See,’ said Sturgis, to an old regiment which quailed before the fire,—‘see the Eleventh New Hampshire, a new regiment, standing like posts driven into the ground !’ ‘5 ‘‘Hancock and French, unable to find any shelter, are driven back upon the town. The attack and repulse have not occupied fifteen minutes. Sturgis is still in the hollow, so near the hill that ‘the rebel batteries on the crest cannot be depressed sufficiently to drive him out. He is within close musket-shot of Cobb’s Brigade, lying behind the stone wall at the base of the hill. In vain are all the efforts of Longstreet to dislodge them. Solid shot, shells, canister, and Shrapnel are thrown towards the hollow, but without avail. A solitary oak tree is torn and broken by the artillery fire and filled with musket balls, and the ground is furrowed with the deadly mis- siles; but the men keep their position through the weary hours. ‘‘A second attempt is made upon the hill. Hum- CHARGES OF THE ELEVENTH. 63 phreys’s Division, composed of Tyler’s and Briggs’s brigades of Pennsylvanians, nearly all new troops, leads the advance, followed closely by Morrill’s Division of veterans. The lines move steadily over the field under the cover of the batteries, which have been brought up and planted in the street. Sturgis pours a constant stream of fire upon the sunken road. Thus aided, they reach the base of the hill in front of Marye’s, deliver a few volleys, and then with thinned ranks retire once more to the shelter of the ridge. «The day is waning. Franklin has failed. He tele- graphs that it is too late to make another attack on the left. Not so does Sumner think on the right. He can- not see the day lost without another struggle, and orders another attack. Humphreys, Morrill, Getty, Sykes, and Howard, or portions of their divisions, are brought up. The troops have been under arms from early day- light. They have had no food. All day they have been exposed to the fire of the rebel batteries, and have lost heavily. . . . It is sunset. The troops move out once more upon the plain, and cross the field with a cheer. The ground beneath them is already crimson with the blood of their fallen comrades. They reach the base of the hill. Longstréet brings down all his reserves. The hillside, the plain, the crest of the ridge, the groves and thickets, the second range of hills beyond Marye’s, the hollow, the sunken road, are bright with flashes. Two hundred cannon strike out fierce defiance ; forty thousand muskets and rifles flame. The rebels are driven from the stone wall, and the sunken road, and the rifle-pits midway the hill. The blue wave mounts all but to the top,of the crest. It threatens to overwhelm the rebel batteries. But we who watch it behold its power decreasing. Men begin to come down the hill singly, and in squads, and at length in masses. The 64 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. third and last attempt has failed. The divisions return, leaving the plain and hill-side strewn with thousands of brave men who have fallen in the ineffectual struggle.” REMINISCENCES. (BY CAPT. GEORGE E. PINGREE.) One evening while I was on picket duty on the Rap- pahannock before the battle of Fredericksburg, a rebel band came down to the river and played “‘ Dixie.” A brigade band on our side responded with ‘“‘ John Brown’s Body.” The rebel band retaliated with the ‘‘ Bonny Blue Flag,” and our band came at them with the ‘Star Spangled Banner.” So they played back and forth at each other until late in the evening. Suddenly all music ceased, and silence reigned; when all at once a musician on our side played splendidly on a key bugle ‘‘ Home, Sweet Home.” As the sweet sounds rose and fell on the evening air, and were wafted down the Falmouth Heights and over the Rappahannock, all listened intently, and I do n’t believe there was a dry eye in all those assembled thousands. For a moment or two after the bugle ceased a dead silence reigned, broken then by a wild, exultant. cheer from both armies. On one occasion, when I crossed the river under a flag of truce for conference with the officer in command on the other side, I heard one of my men, who had rowed me over, ask a rebel, ‘‘ Why don’t you fellows get better guns?” The answer was, ‘There will be a battle mighty soon, and after it is over we’ll pick up all the guns you’uns leave on the field.” Those posted on the Fredericksburg battle know that they did so. REMINISCENCES. 65 One remarkable incident happened to me while con- nected with the Second New Hampshire. At the first Bull Run I came very near being captured, and in order to escape flung away my musket and fled. My initials were cut in the breech of the gun. The next spring, while fighting at Williamsburg, my musket got too foul to be loaded, and seeing a nice, clean gun by the side of a dead rebel I picked it up, and it was my own gun left at Bull Run. I decided I would keep it always, but when wounded, later, was forced to drop and leave it forever. One day, while on picket duty in the Eleventh on the Rappahannock, a flag of truce was waved on the other side. The parties were directed to cross, and a boat-load came over containing General Kershaw, commanding at Fredericksburg, Mayor Slaughter, and the city coun- cil. They stated that they came over to reply to a sum- mons from General Burnside to surrender the city. We sent a soldier with the news to General Burnside, who sent down his chief of staff, requesting the parties to recross the river and return the next day, as it was too late in the afternoon for conference that day. The next day General Kershaw came over alone, and was escorted to General Burnside’s head-quarters. Soon after he had gone there, an officer on the other side waved a flag of truce and came over. Introducing himself as Captain King on General Longstreet’s staff, he said he wanted to see General Kershaw at once. Knowing that Captain King’s presence meant the approach of General Long- street, and not wishing General Kershaw to know that fact until after his talk with General Burnside, I in- formed Captain King that I had no authority to pass him through our lines, and so kept him at the bank of the river until late in the afternoon, when General Kershaw 5 66 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. returned. Immediately on his arrival Captain King rushed up to him and said, ‘‘General, have you sur- rendered the city?” ‘* No,” replied Kershaw, ‘I told Burnside if he wanted the city, to come and take it!” ‘‘All right,” responded King; ‘‘ General Longstreet is approaching ,—is probably in the city now,—and Lee is coming.’”’ Kershaw and King then recrossed the river. I was told that King was killed in the battle which soon followed. When we crossed the river towards evening of the day that Burnside bombarded the town, we camped on the river-bank that night in Fredericksburg. Looking for a place to sleep in the street, and having no blanket with me, I came across a soldier lying there, comfortably - enveloped,in three blankets; spoke to him, but, as he — seemed to be sleeping very soundly, I lifted up his cov- erings and crawled under the blankets with him. Awak- ening in the morning, I found my ‘‘ room-mate” to be a very dead rebel, whose head had evidently been taken off by a cannon-ball. When Burnside was ‘‘ stuck in the mud,” I was listen- ing to a mule-whacker whose wagon was fast in the mud. The driver certainly poured out the most varied assort- ment of oaths I ever heard in my life. Suddenly Gen- eral Burnside appeared, and sternly rebuked the man for his profanity. The general dismounted, placed his shoulder to the hind wheel, directed me to do likewise on the off side, and we both lifted and strained to our utmost, but the wagon didn’t budge an inch. Flushed and muddy, the general remounted, then turned to the driver, and naively said,—‘* As soon as I get out of hearing, you just pitch into those mules, and make them pull out that wagon; I believe they can do it.” CHAPTER III. From DECEMBER 16, 1862, ro AuGusT 14, 1863—IN VIRGINIA AND KENTUCKY—THE MIssissipPl CAMPAIGN—EXTRACTS FROM LiEu- TENANT PaIcr’s LerreRs—THE RETURN TO GENERAL BURN- SIDE—BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES OF REGIMENTAL OFFICERS. Routine duty in camp and on picket was again resumed, and on the night of December 29th the regi- ment was ordered to be ready to march the next morning with three days’ rations and sixty rounds of ammunition —forty in the cartridge-boxes and twenty in the pockets of the men ;—but the order was countermanded, for the reason that somebody had been intriguing against Burn- side at Washington, and President Lincoln sent this to Burnside,—‘*I have good reason for saying that you must not make a general movement without letting me know it.” On the 5th of January following, Burnside tendered his resignation as a major-general of volunteers, which was not accepted by the president. Burnside, still believing that success was certain, determined to cross the river either above or below Fredericksburg, and finally decided to make the crossing at Banks’s ford. On the morning of January 20 the army was on the move ; everything worked well the first day, but at night a furious storm burst upon the army; the wind roared and raged, and the rain fell in torrents; the roads were one bed of mud and mire. No trains could be moved; and Burnside, on the morning of the 22d, ordered the army back to its old encampment,—and back it’ went, the men making the best time they possibly could, the irtillery and supply trains floundering on the retreat, and it times buried, as it were, in the mud; and the harpies 68 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. and the critics and the sore-heads called it ‘‘ Burnside’s march in the mud.” On January 25th Burnside was relieved of the command of the Army of the Potomac, and returned to his home in Providence. General Hooker was now in command of the Army of the Potomac, and General John Sedgwick was in command of the Ninth Corps until March, 1863, when he was relieved by Major-General John G. Parke, who had a long connec- tion with the corps. February 10, 1863, the Ninth Corps was detached from the Army of the Potomac and sent to Newport News. February 7 the regiment received orders to provide itself with three days’ cooked rations, blankets to be rolled, canteens filled with water, knapsacks packed, everything ready to move on one hour’s notice,—all of which was done, and then the men waited for the order to strike tents; but the regiment did not move until the tenth, when it marched to the station and took the cars for Acquia Creek, thence on transports to Newport News via Fortress Monroe. The change was a happy one for the Eleventh and the entire Ninth Corps. New tents were provided for the corps. These looked finely, pitched up and down the James river. With clean, broad streets, an abundance of shade-trees, and fresh, bracing salt air, the men enjoyed themselves finely. With all the rest, there were plenty of nice oysters and bountiful rations as well, and the spirits of the men rose as they real- ized more and more the great change that had been wrought in their surroundings; and they made the most of the short time they were to remain there. However, there was considerable sickness in the regiment, and several brave men died, lamented by all their comrades. Drill and picket duty took up quite a portion of the time. Up to the 12th of March, 1863, the captains of the regiment had remained in rank as Col. Harriman had appointed IN KENTUCKY. 69 shortly after the regiment was organized. At that time an order was received from the War Department that the officers should be ranked in accordance with the date of their muster. By this order Captain Dudley, who had been second in rank, became the ranking captain, and this arrangement was continued during the war. But rumblings of war were again heard. Longstreet was reported as advancing on Suffolk, and one division of the Ninth Corps was sent to reinforce the troops already there. The excitement soon died away, but the camp was full of rumors of the corps going here, there, and no one knew where. Shelter tents and clothing were issued to the men. One division had already gone, and on the morning of March 26 the Eleventh broke camp and embarked on the steamer Yohkn Aice, with orders to report at Cincinnati, via Baltimore, there to be again under its old commander, General Burnside. Cincinnati was reached on the morning of March 31, and the regiment marched up through a portion of the city to Fifth Street market where a most excellent break- fast, provided by the good people of that city, was par- taken of. At 1 p. m. the regiment, followed by thou- sands of the loyal people of the ‘‘Queen City of the West,” marched down past the Burnett House. There Burnside made his appearance, aid was greeted with lusty cheers, the men presenting arms at the same time. The march was resumed down to the ferry-boat, and the regiment was soon in Covington, Ky., where it remained until the next morning, when it boarded the cars and at night halted at Paris. Some of the men remained over night in the cars, some in a church near at hand, others wherever a good place could be found. The next morning an order was received to remain at this point, and as there were no means of transportation with the regiment, the quartermaster, Major Briggs, 40 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. with one captain and a detail of two men from each com- pany, started in search of teams, with orders to treat everybody civilly, but to ‘‘dring in some teams at all events.”” The day’s tramp was a severe one, but the order was obeyed, and when the work was done: six good teams stood ready for the regiment’s use. The country was rich and fertile. All the work on the land was done by horses and mules. Still, nearly every man of whom a team was asked for, declared he had but one horse or one mule, but diligent search and a few plain words brought forth the team all the same. This was in the ‘‘blue-grass region,” which, for its rich soil, fine forests, broad, rolling fields, and healthy climate, is one of the brightest spots on earth. The next day, April 3, the regiment resumed its march, and camped that night near Mount Sterling, after a tramp of twenty-two miles. The next morning it moved into the village, and as it was passing through its principal street, past a large, elegant house, the owner and his entire family were out to bid us welcome. A young lady, one of his daughters, stood by the side of the street waving a flag and saying, ‘‘ God bless the Yankees; I love to see you here!” which was royally responded to by the boys of the regiment. The camp was in a rock-maple grove, and the boys tapped-a good many trees to remind them of their homes. The warfare in Kentucky at this time was of the guerrilla stamp. Neighborhoods were at log- gerheads; old acquaintances passed each other unno- ticed ; some who had been the best of friends previous to the war, were now at variance, and a bad feeling gener- ally prevailed. The regiment picketed by detail on the farther side of the town on the Sharpsburg pike, having charge of the toll-gate through which every one was admitted into town. But no one was allowed to go out without a pass IN KENTUCKY. 71 from the provost marshal in the town. This gate was kept by three sisters living close to it, only one of whom could read, write, or reckon, and they were as ignorant of the world outside of their immediate vicinity as were the: mass of the people of that state. They complained bitterly because a woollen mill above them had been burned a short time before, and one of them said to the officer in charge of the picket, ‘‘I wish you could have seen that mill before it was burned; it was a great one.” When asked how many hands were employed in it before its destruction, she said, ‘‘As much as fifteen or twenty ;” and the officer replied, ‘We have cotton mills up in New England that have 300 employés in one room.” The reply came, ‘‘Oh, you git out! We’ve hearn you Yanks tell that story before, but it’s no such a thing.” Sunday morning, April 12, an order was received allow- ing a portion of the regiment to attend church in the vil- hage, but directing the men to go armed; which they did, thus repeating the history of the olden times in New England. While lying in camp at Mount Sterling the following incident occurred:, A comrade of the Fifty-first New York came into the camp of the Eleventh about mid- night pretty well intoxicated, and thus accosted the guard in front of Colonel Harriman’s quarters: ‘I have just been paid off, and I am afraid I shall spend my money foolishly ; and I want to give it to your colonel to keep for me. I won’t trust any of my officers with it. Your colonel is the best man God ever made. I want him to take it.” The guard refused to wake the colonel, and the soldier said, ‘‘ You must be a pretty good fellow, or you wouldn’t be here on guard: take it and give it to the colonel.” And the guard did as he directed. April 17 the regiment broke camp and marched to Winchester, a distance of eighteen miles, and went into: 42 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. camp, remaining there until May 4, when it again took : up the march. Passing through Lexington and Nich- olasville, it crossed the Kentucky river at Hickman’s bridge; thence through Lancaster to Paint Lick creek, where it arrived on the 7th. Having remained there until Sunday, the roth, it then marched back ten miles to Lancaster, and went into camp. On Saturday, May 23, a warm, sultry day with clouds of dust flying, it marched twelve miles to Crab Orchard, which was left Monday, the 25th, and a march made to Stamford, twelve miles, where a halt was made until Wednesday, June 3, when it broke camp. After bivouacking that night at Lancaster, it reached Nicholasville the next day, and took the cars for Cincinnati, arriving the next morning. At 6 p. m. of that day it took the cars again, and on Sunday morning, June 7, reached Cairo, IIl. The next day it went on board the steamer Jmperial and steamed down the Mississippi, and on Sunday morn- ing, June 14, arrived at Sherman’s Landing, three miles above Vicksburg, on the Louisiana side of the river, and went into camp. The next morning the regiment marched down the right bank of the river four miles, then crossed to Warrenton, Miss.; but in a couple of hours it recrossed the river and returned to its camp left in the morning. The next morning it sailed up the Mis- sissippi to the mouth of the Yazoo, then up that river ‘twelve miles to Snyder’s Bluff, Miss., remaining on board the steamer that night, and the next morning marched three miles and went into camp at a place called Milldale. THE MISSISSIPPI CAMPAIGN. And why was the Ninth Corps ordered to Mississippi? Grant had laid siege to Vicksburg, a difficult and ardu- ous task, but brilliant in conception. The siege com- THE MISSISSIPPI CAMPAIGN. 43 menced May 22, and, the rebel government foreseeing the danger that would result to the Confederacy if the siege was successful, all of the available rebel troops in the Southern department were ordered to report near Jackson, Miss., and placed under the command of Gen- eral Joseph E. Johnston, who, with the exception of ° Longstreet, was Lee’s ablest officer. To General Johns- ton was assigned the task of raising the siege of Vicks- burg by attacking Grant in the rear. Grant at once saw his danger, and telegraphed the president for assist- ance, ‘‘ to be sent in immediately.” Burnside was on the point of marching his corps for the redemption of East Tennessee, when he received a dispatch from Washington asking him if he could spare any troops to assist Grant. He immediately sent word that he could, for he considered Grant’s necessity for more troops greater than his own; and on June 3, at Lexington, General Burnside received an order to rein- force Grant with eight thousand men. The order was instantly obeyed, and the next day the Ninth Corps was on its way to Vicksburg under command of Major-Gen- eral John G. Parke. Burnside desired to lead his old corps himself, but he was needed more in his depart- ment. It was with the greatest sorrow that Burnside parted with his men, but on the 7th he had the proud satisfaction of receiving from Secretary Stanton the fol- lowing despatch: ‘You will accept the thanks of the president and vice-president for your alacrity and prompt- ness in sending forward reinforcements to General Grant.” It was the part of General Johnston to make the attack upon the Ninth Corps, but this he declined to do, for he had been foiled in every attempted demonstration against the Federal lines, and as a result the troops had two weeks of quiet. On the 25th of June a reconnoissance 74. ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. was made by the Sixth New Hampshire and the Seventh Rhode Island, under command of Colonel S. G. Griffin. The enemy was found strongly intrenched and on the alert,.and the troops returned to their own camp. Earth- works were thrown up in Grant’s rear to render his posi- tion more secure. There were two of these lines of works, the one. along Oak Ridge to guard the roads leading across the Big Black river, and the other extend- ing from Haines’s Bluff through Milldale, on the high land east of Vicksburg, commanding the approaches. from the east and north. Vicksburg surrendered on the 4th of July, and before Grant had fully taken possession of the city the Ninth Corps was on the march in pursuit of Johnston. The corps crossed the Big Black at different points. On the evening of the 7th, it bivouacked not far from Jefferson Davis’s plantation, which was near Bolton. The march was uneventful until it neared Jackson, where both armies lay for several days watching each other. On the 16th General Sherman ordered a reconnoissance in force, for the purpose of ascertaining the rebel position. The enemy replied with his shot and shell, doing some damage to the Union troops, who were withdrawn, and arrangements were made for an assault on the following morning. The Second Brigade of the Ninth Corps, to which the Eleventh New Hampshire belonged, was in the trenches, under command of General Ferrero. Early in the even- ing some deserters who came into our lines reported Johnston evacuating Jackson. The darkness prevented any movement until two o’clock the following morning, June 17, when Ferrero’s Brigade occupied the skirmish line, and at daylight made a dash for the enemy’s works, which they found evacuated; and at six o’clock Ferrero entered the city. The Eleventh New Hampshire being EXTRACTS FROM LIEUT. PAIGE’S LETTERS. 75 in the advance, would have been the first to raise its flag in the city but for the illness of the color-bearer, who was unable to do so until too late, and the flag of the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts was raised, followed by that of the Eleventh New Hampshire. We take great pleas- ure in appending the following from the letters of Lieu- tenant C. C. Paige: EXTRACTS FROM LIEUT. PAIGE’S LETTERS. ‘«We remained at Milldale, which place we had forti- fied, three weeks; then marched to Oak Ridge, where we remained one week. We started from this place on the trebly memorable 4th of July, marched six miles, and camped. The next day we marched eight miles, and camped within two miles of Big Black river, where we remained two nights. Tuesday, the 7th, we marched at 2 p. m., crossed the river, and made twelve miles. The plains on either side of the river are one mile and a half wide ; when we crossed them there was no air, and the sun’s rays were unmercifully warm, and as a result very many of the men fell with sun-stroke. Shortly after 6 o’clock, and while we were still on the march, it commenced to thunder and lighten, the storm increasing in severity, and about 9 p. m. the rain began to fall in torrents. This continued for two hours with short inter- missions, making a sight grand-and sublime. We plod- ded on, though the rain came faster and the mud grew deeper and more slippery, and at about 12 m. camped. The next day, at 4 p. m., the march was resumed, and we made some eight miles and camped at ten p. m. ‘‘Marched the next morning at 6, made some eight miles, and camped within sound of the enemy’s guns, which we could hear occasionally in response to our 4 6 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. artillery, which was shelling the rebel position. Friday morning, the roth, we marched very cautiously some six miles, when we came up with the enemy, who were but a short distance in our front, and a line of battle was formed. The Eleventh Regiment was thrown out on the left of the line with intervals of thirty feet between the men, to prevent the rebs from flanking us and getting in our rear. A solid line was soon formed, skirmishers were thrown out, and the work commenced briskly: the rebels were quickly driven to their works around Jackson, and we were drawn in and marched about one mile and a half towards the front, where we camped for. the night. ««The next morning we were ordered to the front as a reserve, and took up a position within one third of a mile of the skirmishers, and remained there until the next morning, the Sabbath. We were under fire at this place, the bullets being thick in the top of the trees, but they did no harm and served to keep us on the alert. On that Sabbath morning, July 12, our regiment was ordered to the front to relieve the skirmishers at 3 a.m. Our position was in an open field on a ridge between the two skirts of woods on the opposite side from us. The enemy were secreted in the bushes and behind the trees, while we were lying flat between the rows,—for the land had been cultivated the previous season—and they gota good range on us. In addition to this their sharpshooters in the trees fired at us with a great deal of accuracy, while our fire was largely at random. The sun seemed to shine with all power, and some were sun-struck ; others were wounded; and thus the day wore away with the missiles of death constantly flying about us. At dark a portion of the men were advanced a few rods, and the night was spent in digging rifle-pits for the sharpshooters to occupy the following day. At 3 a. m. we were relieved by the Sixth New Hampshire, and we retired a EXTRACTS FROM LIEVUT. PAIGE’S LETTERS. a7 few rods to the rear, acting as their support. Shortly after the order was heard, ‘ Fall in, quick !’ and we were in line at once. The enemy started to charge us, but the volley of the Sixth sent them back to their lines. ‘So, after having been under fire continuously for seventy-five hours, we retired about one mile and a half to rest, where we remained until the Tuesday morning following, at 2 a. m., when we were again placed in front to support the skirmishers. At 4 a. m. we received orders to be in line, andy, at the firing of the signal gun, to advance with the bayonet. The gun pealed forth its solemn voice twice, and the yells and the volleys soon sounded all along the line, beginning at the right. It had extended half way along the line when the ‘rebs’ opened with great ferocity, and for a while the air was full of the thunder of cannon and musketry. The object was gained and the firing ceased. It was supposed the enemy were evacuating the city, but all soon learned to the contrary. ‘“‘The next morning, Friday, the 17th, we were ordered into the pits to relieve those who had been there, and at 6 a. m. were ordered out again and advanced at ‘charge bayonets,’ constantly expecting to get a volley from the ‘rebs,’ but not a fire opposed us, and soon we were in their works, capturing their brigadier-general. Proud and jubilant were we, the first to occupy the rebel works in Jackson! Our color-bearer was ill, and could not keep up with our charge, and for this reason the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts got the praise of first planting the Federal flag in the city. The boys enjoyed themselves nicely. Each got what his fancy liked best: sugar, molasses, and tobacco were quite free among us. <¢ We went back to the place from which we advanced, and camped. On Monday, the 2oth, we started for Mill- dale, and made a miarch of twenty miles, the sun giving 48 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. another specimen of his direct rays upon us, and more men in the brigade fell out than ever before on a march. The march was resumed the next morning at four o’clock, and we made fifteen miles. It was harder than on the day previous, the heat was so intense. At one time the commander of Company G had not a man with him for two miles. The next day the march was taken up at 4 p. m., and the Big Black was crossed, when the rain came pouring down harder than at any time before, and in ten minutes the road waég three inches deep with water. At ten o’clock the regiment camped in a corn- field, where the mud was deeper than in the road. I laid down two rails, took off my boots and socks, and lay down on my downy bed, with a pillow made of my old hat laid on the cracks of the rails, spread my rubber blanket over me, and stopped there until morning. ‘‘At sunrise the next morning the march was resumed, and eight miles brought us to our old camp at Milldale; and truthfully I can say that home never looked better to me than our old camp. We were quite tired and sick of Mississippi. At the first dress-parade after our return to Milldale, the adjutant read some complimentary orders from Grant, Sherman, Smith, and Parke. They were very flattering. We were praised for our good behav- ior and soldierly bearing, for our heroic and brave con- duct before the enemy, and generally for our prompt action wherever we were placed ; and we were ordered to inscribe on our flag ‘ Vicksburg’ and ‘ Jackson.’” THE RETURN TO BURNSIDE. “ The troops remained at Milldale and Oak Ridge about two weeks, awaiting transportation North. Transports soon arrived, and the sick, weary, dying men went on board with hopes that they might all once more feel the THE RETURN TO BURNSIDE. 79 life-giving breezes of their own loved homes in the far- away North. The voyage up the river was a long one, and the last of the corps did not reach Cairo until the 15th of August. ‘«The regiment reached Memphis August 9, at 3 p. m., where it remained until twelve o’clock the next day, giv- ing the men a chance to inhale a little fresh air by ,getting on shore. Although the mercury marked over roo° in the shade, it was a great relief to the men to leave the sick-quarters upon the crowded steamer for a while. Very many were not able to do so, but they were well cared for during the stay here. But the boys were anxious to get still farther north, and the order to ‘cast off and haul in the gang plank’ was a most welcome one to all. The boat was crowded, four regiments being on board, and having as part of its cargo 150 bales of cotton. Cairo was not reached until Wednesday morn- ing, August 12, at 6 a. m., and we left there at 2 p. m. in the cars for Cincinnati. There were forty cars on the train. When ten miles beyond Jonesborough the train broke in two, but was soon connected again, and Cen- tralia was reached at 11:30 p. m., where a good lunch of meat and coffee was served. At midnight it was again on its way, reaching Vincennes via Sandoval, where a halt was made for three hours at noon, and a good dinner was served, and at 7 p. m. we reached Seymour. Friday morning at three o’clock Cincinnati was reached, and at seven o’clock the regiment marched to the Fifth Street market, where the boys enjoyed the best meal they had eaten since they left for the South. The regiment then marched across the river to Covington, Ky., and went into camp about two miles south of the river. ‘«« The regiment received a perfect ovation on its march through Cincinnati, and on all sides was heard ‘ That’s a bully regiment! just look at their colors, how they are 80 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. riddled!’ And the boys of the regiment will remember to their latest hour the generous, loyal people of Cincin- nati. While lying in camp at Covington, the writer of this and Lieutenant Shepard were commissioned to have placed upon the flag ‘ Fredericksburg,’ ‘ Vicksburg,’ and ‘Jackson,’ which was done in a fine manner in Cincin- nati. ‘s The camp here was full of rumors. Colonel Harri-, man had resigned; Major Farr and Captain Pingree had both gone home on a thirty days furlough; Quarter- master Briggs had resigned and gone home; Dr. Ross had gone home on sick-leave ; Lieutenant Heath had resigned and gone home; Captain Low had gone home on sick-leave ; Adjutant Morrison had applied for a thirty days furlough, as well as had Lieutenant Morrison of Company B. A large number of men were ill in various hospitals, and, on the whole, the outlook ahead was not very encouraging. However, the regiment had returned from its Mississippi campaign proud of the good name it had achieved in common with other regiments of the Ninth Corps. ‘¢General Grant returned the Ninth Corps to Burnside with general orders dated July 31, 1863, in these words: ‘In returning the Ninth Corps to its former command, it is with pleasure that the general commanding acknowl- edges its valuable services in the campaign just closed. Arriving at Vicksburg opportunely, taking a position to hold at bay Johnston’s army, then threatening the forces investing the city, it was ready and eager to assume the offensive at any moment. After the fall of Vicksburg, it formed a part of the army which drove Johnston from his position near the Big Black river into his intrench- ments at Jackson, and, after a siege of eight days, com- pelled him to fly in disorder from the Mississippi valley. The endurance, valor, and general good conduct of the THE MISSISSIPPI CAMPAIGN. 81 Ninth Corps are admired by all; and its valuable codp- eration, in achieving the final triumph of the campaign, is gratefully acknowledged by the Army of the Tennes- see. Major-General Parke will cause the different regi- ments and batteries of his command to inscribe upon their banners and guidons ‘Vicksburg’ and ‘Jack- son.’ ” ‘In addition to this very gratifying order from General Grant, the men of the Western regiments were compelled to change their opinion of any troops that had ever been a portion of the Army of the Potomac: so that, instead of thinking they did not know how to fight, they were perfectly surprised at the courage and bravery displayed by the Ninth Corps, especially at Jackson. When in- formed by the men of the corps that that action was con- sidered by them as only a ‘sharp skirmish,’ they frankly confessed they didn’t want to go into any battles; and the men of both armies became ‘strongly attached to each other. ‘“*Rev. Mr. Woodbury, in his ‘Ninth Army Corps,’ thus sums up the disastrous effects of this Mississippi campaign: ‘The campaign in Mississippi was especially severe in its effects upon the officers and men of the Ninth Corps. The excessive heat, the malaria that set- tled like a pall of death around the camp upon the Yazoo river, the scarcity of water and its bad quality, the forced marches, and the crowded condition of the transports told fearfully upon the troops. All the accounts of the move- ment agree in their statements respecting the amount of disease and mortality which accompanied it. The hard- ships, which all were obliged to endure, were excessive. Water which the horses refused to.drink, the men were obliged to use in making their coffee. Fevers, conges- tive chills, diarrhoea, and other diseases attacked the troops. Many sank down upon the wayside, and died 6 82 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. from sun-stroke and sheer exhaustion. The sickness that prevailed on board the transports upon the return voyage was terrible and almost universal. Nearly every night, as the boats lay up on account of low water and the consequent danger of navigation, the twinkling light of the lanterns on shore betokened the movements of burial parties as they consigned the remains of some unfortunate comrade to the earth. When the troops reached Cairo, the men were scarcely able to march through the streets. They dropped in the ranks; and even at the market-house, where the good citizens had provided an abundant and comfortable meal for the worn out soldiers, they fell beside the tables, and were carried away to the hospitals. More than half the, command were rendered unfit for duty. There were not able men enough belonging to the batteries to water and groom the horses. Under such circumstances, instances of brave, even of héroic, endurance were not rare, and the soldiers deserved the commendations which their officers freely bestowed.’ ” BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES. DR.

At three o’clock the next morning, the 13th of July, we were relieved from our post by a company from the Ninth New Hampshire, and were ordered further to the right—and not very far from where we lay all day of the 11th—there to support the Sixth New Hampshire, as they were one of the regiments that formed the first line of battle in front of the Second Brigade. The Second Brigade was very soon in line again, in a heavy piece of pine woods. The Sixth New Hampshire lay in rifle-pits, directly in our front, about eight or ten rods distant. In front of us was a large open field, though before the rude hand of war had seized it it was a large peach orchard; but then, the zigzag lines of Union rifle-pits were cut through it, showing for a long distance the crooked piles of earth freshly thrown up to shield the heads of those who occupied them from rebel bullets. Picket shooting was carried on all of that day very spitefully. A soldier could not show himself above the pits without getting peppered by the vigilant ‘‘ Johnnies,” who lay concealed in their works, and in the trees on the further side of the BEFORE YACKSON. 87 field eighty rods or more away. There in the pine woods we put in the day listening to the reckless picket shooting and desultory cannonading ,—at times from both sides; but it was not equal to that of the day before, although both armies still faced each other, contending for the mastery. The reason why the Union army did not make an attack on that day was because we were nearly out of shells for the batteries, the ammunition train not having arrived from Vicksburg; consequently we were delayed in our operations, and the enemy took advantage of it and made good their escape four days after. Our batteries had ammunition enough for firing occasional shots at the enemy, but not enough for a bat- tle. We lay within easy reach of the enemy’s shots all that day, upon the soft green grass under the pines. The rebel army at Jackson called everything into requisition that could be used in war. Many of the citi- zens turned out, and used squirrel rifles, or whatever they had to fight with, and helped the army hunt the Yankees. A good many old flint-lock muskets were used, the cartridges being one ball and three buck-shot, such as were used in the days of the Revolution. In fact, nearly everything that could be used as a weapon was pressed into the service, while the Union army would have been ashamed to be seen with such weapons of war. The Confederate army thought a good deal more about fighting ‘‘for their rights” than they did about “red tape” and show, which latter, very many times, the Union army was guilty of. It really seemed, from what we saw there, that fish-spears, pruning-hooks, axes, cleavers, broad-swords, and targes were brought from their hiding-places, where they had rested for years, and made to do duty in defending the city and their homes. L. remarked that he saw guns on the morning of the 17th, when we advanced into the city, that were minus 88 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. lock, cock, stock, and barrel. ‘With all the poor imple- ments of war that they used, they had a great many mus- kets that were first class: they were as good as those used by the Union boys, and had been put in as skilful hands too. The Sixth New Hampshire Regiment was very much annoyed a part of the day by occasional shots from a sporting rifle, which they supposed was in the hands of a citizen. He had secreted himself in a good place where he could fire his shots lengthwise of the pits (or for many rods at least) ; and where that ‘‘ cussed rebel,” as they called him, could be concealed was a mystery. The soldiers of the Sixth fired in his supposed direction as their judgment told them, and the more they fired the more ‘‘Johnnie Reb”’ fired, and with all their shots none reached him or hindered him in the work of death on which he was so intent. The boys speculated for a long time, and guessed where he might be; then one or two would fire as directed by the officer in command, but no sign could they see to show where he was secreted. Those round balls continued to speed past their heads, making that smooth whistle peculiar to a sporting rifle. After suffering his insulting shots for a long time, one of the soldiers, who had been watching for some time, and who had appeared to be in a brown study over the mat- ter, saw a faint puff of smoke come from a clump of bushes—a point they had little suspected. The shot went by him in a moment more, telling plainly that the hiding- place had been discovered. All hands watched with eager eyes the clump of bushes, and very soon another puff of smoke was seen, although very faint, and whizz! went the ball past them as before. Every man was then ordered to watch the spot, their muskets at their shoul- ders, and every man was to fire at the same time at the same place, and to watch what the effect would be. TROUBLESOME SHARPSHOOTERS. 89 They did not have long to wait, for in a very few minutes another faint puff of smoke was seen from the clump of bushes, and in an instant a fearful volley of musketry was fired by the regiment, that went tearing through those bushes making green leaves scatter to the breezes. Whatever became of ‘‘ Mr. Reb” they never knew. One thing they did know, and that was, they were never troubled with any more shots from that quar- -ter, and the probability was that he was killed or severely wounded. At that very time, as well as during the day when the Eleventh supported the Pennsylvania regiment three days after, a sharpshooter troubled us very much by sending his shots into the woods where we lay. He had a picked position where he was concealed, and we could not tell where he was; neither could the front line, for as they were lower than we were he could not see them’ or they him, and his shots passed over their heads. He doubtless thought we were in the thick pine-tops, for very often his shots would whistle through the tree-tops, cutting off a limb as large as my arm, plainly telling us that he had a good weapon and knew how to use it. Then some of his shots would come very low, and at one time a stack of guns was struck, and the stock of one shattered to splinters by his well aimed shot. All that we could do was to let him enjoy himself ‘‘ pegging away at the Yankees,” for it afforded him lots of fun and he touched no one of us, if I remember correctly, with one exception. A big Irishman from Company K undertook to go out and ascertain where he lay, and to ‘‘give him h—1” as he termed it. He poked slowly to the edge of the wood, and stopped to survey the ground in front before advanc- ing any further, when whizz! came one of those large musket-balls and just touched the lower part of the Irish- man’s ear. He made a big dodge, and started back, go ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. 1» exclaiming, as he shook his fist, ‘‘ Oh, you son ofa —! and that made lots of fun for awhile. We were then in front of that miserable siege gun, and very often some of its heavy shots, sixty-four pounders, would come tearing through the tree-tops, reminding me of a small earthquake, particularly so when they explod- ed among the pine trees, and the pieces of iron would hum, and the green boughs would drop all around us. Sergeant Lyford of Company C was leaning against a tree, when a shot from that gun cut off the top of the same tree, and as a matter of course made a racket above his head that caused him to look up and see what was going on, he in the meantime exclaiming loudly, ‘ Fire a little lower if you please, if you intend to kill me!” Our rations were poor and very scarce, and the water we had was far worse. We dipped it from little mud holes in the ground, consequently it was a trifle thick. Our rations consisted mostly of green corn issued by the commissary, and right glad were we to get that. When such rations were issued to us, L. would look at them for a moment, and then break out with ‘‘ Who wouldn’t be a malicious man!”—wmilitia man. We lived on faith and very poor browse. We had faith that right would win at last, though many a brave soldier would die in that hard campaign; and there in that pine forest and its surroundings ‘« They sleep their last sleep, they have fought their last battle. No sound can awake them to glory again!” We remained in our position in the woods on the night of the 13th, in readiness to assist the front line in case of an emergency. A sad thing happened on the picket line that night, at the very place where Company E picketed the night before. Captain Alexander, of the Ninth New Hampshire, commanding the company which guarded CAPTAIN ALEXANDER'’S DEATH. oI the left of the line that night, had stationed every man at his post, and all was in readiness for the night. It was another very dark night, such as Company E saw there the night before. The captain passed along the line from post to post—the pickets were stationed beside the large trees, about one rod apart—to see if everything was allright. As he left one post to pass to another, he either got bewildered in the darkness because the line was not straight, or it was sheer carelessness on his part; for instead of following the line he walked directly off in front of the pickets, and it was supposed he walked in a half circle, which made him appear again advanc- ing toward his own pickets. His foot-steps upon the green grass and leaves were quickly heard by the watch- ful picket—one of the captain’s own men—who, in that tone of voice so well known upon the picket post, chal- lenged him at once with ‘‘Who comes there?” The captain answered, ‘It’s me.” ‘Then the picket was more aroused and almost confident that the person advanc- ing was a rebel picket creeping upon him under the cover of the darkness; and again in an excited voice, but loud and clear, he challenged with ‘“‘'Tell me who me is, quick!” at the same moment drawing back the hammer of his musket. The captain repeated the same words as before, ‘It’s me, it’s me,’ which was indeed very thoughtless considering the position in which he was placed as a picket within a stone’s throw of the’ enemy. That answer was sufficient. The picket, faith-— ful in the discharge of his duty, was confident it was a rebel, as the captain’s answer was by no means a military one. It was the work of a moment. The picket’s rifle blazed out in the thick darkness; a sharp report rang through the forest; and poor Alexander fell with a slight groan, but mortally wounded. He was not instantly killed, his thigh being broken near the body. The scene 92 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. that transpired at that moment on the picket line beg- gars all description. Matches were lighted, revealing to the pickets a sight that they will long remember. Blood was flowing from the wound profusely, staining the blue uniform, and plainly visible on the green turf. No lights could be used longer than for a moment at a time, for fear of avolley of musketry from the enemy, and the officer was moved to the rear in the extreme darkness of midnight by his faithful comrades. He died on the second day after receiving his wound, and war’s dread alarms sum- moned him no more to the field of strife. Another brave soldier had laid down his life in freedom’s cause. Poor Alexander! I knew him well when a teacher in New Hampshire, and often met him in our campaigns. There, in the suburbs of Jackson, under a branching oak and in the shadow of the tall pines, his comrades tenderly laid him to rest—<‘‘ A rest to last through all the years.” The next morning, July 14, we were ordered to the rear for rest and rations. Had the ammunition train arrived as we were expecting, we should have had no chance to rest; we should have been blazing away at the rebels for dear life. As it was, we did get some rest ; but all the rations we got could be put in one’s eye, and not injure one’s vision a bit... On our way to the rear we passed through the yard of the insane asylum, and made a halt just west: of the building among some arbor-vitae -and other evergreen shrubbery. There we were ordered to remain that day and the next, as the fighting could not be pushed until the trains had arrived from Vicks- burg. Over the country as far as we could see, around Jackson, were long lines of freshly thrown up earthworks, consisting of rifle-pits and strong redoubts. Among the evergreens, the oaks, and scattering trees gleamed the bright Northern bayonets in the sunlight, as the army stood motionless, waiting for the second attack to be made. ORDERED TO THE REAR. 93 Bristling cannon looked toward the city with bold defi- ance, while many were masked in the bushes, in readi- ness to belch forth canister in case the line was broken, and trees were cut away so the artillery could strew death broadcast. The picture was one of beauty : but we did not care a straw for the beauty ;—we had been promised, at the beginning of the fight, that as soon as the battle was fought and won we were all to return to Kentucky. We were very anxious to finish the task set before us, however hard it might be, and then hasten back to ‘*Old Kaintuck.” As soon as we had reached the place where we were to enjoy such sweet rest and calm repose, the general commanding the Second Brigade sent his orderly to Colonel Collins with an order for him (the colonel) to form the regiment in company streets, as was the custom when we were in camp ;—just then we were all lying round loose—every man for himself. The colonel heard the order, and then very curtly replied, ‘‘Tell the gen- eral to go to pot with his poppycock orders: I’ll place my men where I please!” The regiment gave one burst of laughter, and we heard no more orders from the gen- eral that day. We spent a part of the next day hunting after green corn, but found only a scanty supply, for we dared not venture very far gway for fear of being cap- tured by rebel guerillas, who were constantly on the watch for us. If some of the nonparticipants during our late unpleasantness would like to know what kind of water we were obliged to drink as we were resting in the shade of the evergreens, I will tell them with all pleasure, for it is far more pleasant to tell the story now than it was to drink the water at that time: Not far from where we were lying was a nice farm- house, one of the best in the suburbs of Jackson. Near this house was an artificial pond of oval shape, from 94 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. twenty to forty feet wide and twice that in length, which had probably been used as a horse-pond in the days of slavery. It was the only water we were able to find, and at the time we first saw it it could hardly be called water, but more properly a mixture of filth. Nearly every officer who rode a horse had him washed in that pond. The water was about two.feet deep, and the horses were led into the pond by their bare-footed and bare-legged grooms, and sponged off until the water was thick with dirt and scum. We undertook to drive them away, but their orders from the officers were given in advance of ours, and as that sort of thing had been going on before we got there, the water was all spoiled anyway and not worth fighting for. It was ‘‘tough water” for one to drink ona hot July day, as he lay there basking in the sun, and my pen fails to do the matter justice. L. used up all the oaths in the English language in freeing his mind on the matter, and would have exhausted all the oaths in foreign tongues had he been sufficiently well educated. I was not long in making up my mind that the water would kill more men than the rebel siege gun. We often hear the remark made, There is too much money spent in pensioning soldiers. Those who make such speeches did not dare shoulder a musket in defence of the old fag when their services were needed, but many of them looked toward Canada and cried, ‘The war is a failure!” or ‘*Why doesn’t the army move?” ‘Very many of the soldiers who are applying for pensions were with us at Jackson in the summer of 1863, and were obliged to drink cesspool water when they were almost perishing with thirst and suffering from their wounds. Many lost their health in that hard campaign, and by some are now begrudged the small pittance they receive in the way of pension money. ‘‘ Begrudged ! by whom?” BACK TO THE FRONT. 95 I hear some one ask. By men who remained at home and sucked their fingers when their services were needed at the front in the trying days of the war. At 2 o’clock, on the morning of the 16th, the Eleventh was ordered to its old position of the 13th, there to sup- port the Fiftieth Pennsylvania Regiment, who were ‘to hold the line of works in our front. It was the same old story: things had not changed one particle from what they were on the 13th. There in our front lay just as many rebels as ever, and there on the hill that old siege gun still stood facing us; the bullets hissed just the same as ever; and the shells shrieked with the same ven- geance. There we lay under the pines in readiness for what might come. Over to the left in our front lay that rebel sharpshooter, who kept up a constant fire upon us all that day, as he had done before, and all our efforts failed to disclose where he was concealed. As our ammunition had not arrived from Vicksburg, our bat- teries did not do very much work. They were not out of shells, however, for they took good care to save enough during the battle of the 12th to last them in case of an emergency. When a good chance presented itself, our gunners would let a shot drop into rebeldom with such remarkable accuracy as to stir up the ‘‘Johnnies” wonderfully. The enemy were not backward in letting their artillery slam and bang to the right, left, and centre ; in fact, they did not show much regard for our feel- ings, as they plainly proved by the cold lead and iron they hurled at us. In all the commotion of war on that day, I was vividly reminded of the following words, as I saw them enacted : ‘¢ The bursting shell, the gate-way wrenched asunder, The rattling musketry, the clashing blade, And ever and anon, in tones of thunder, The diapason of the cannonade.” 96 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. We remained in the shade of the pines all that day, while the rebel shells would pass over our heads and through the tree-tops, and their sharpshooters kept pop- ping away at us with untiring zeal. About half past two o’clock in the afternoon the picket fire in our front, which had been slow and lagging most of the day, grew very severe all at once, and brought us all upon our feet in an instant, well knowing that the enemy was advancing, and that we should soon be called upon to take a hand in the fray. We were hardly upon our feet before the order, that was so well known to us all at such times, echoed along the line, ‘‘ Fall in, men! Fallin!’ The Second Brigade was in line in a moment, and Colonel Collins gave the order ‘‘ Fix bayonets !”’ as we advanced up to the edge of the woods. The long line of polished bay- onets glistened among the low pine boughs, and seemed to say ‘‘ We are all ready !” and the enemy’s musketry in our front was becoming one grand rattle. Then came the shells from the heavy guns in our front. These were hurled with great force, and burst over our heads with stunning effect, twisting the green tree-tops in their furious flight, while the fragments of the bursting shells huammed with that deadly sound so peculiar to them. Everything began to look as though another battle was soon to ebb and flow, as it had done four days before. The front line replied in good earnest to the enemy; and as we stood at the edge of the wood I could see our men in the pits working vigorously in front of the enemy. The constant puffs of smoke from their busy rifles rose on the air, and the terebinthine odor of the pine forest was quickly changed to that of gunpowder, as the blue smoke floated into the woods. The reserves were doubtless seen by the enemy, as we advanced to the edge of the wood, for they very soon ceased firing, and all was calm again. The front line kept their eyes open for another attack, should it BEFORE 3ACKSON. "oF come, and at the least provocation would send a ball into the rebel lines to warn them that we were not all dead yet. Some of the Fifty-first New York boys used to tell the fol- lowing story of things which happened on that afternoon : A soldier of that regiment was instantly killed by a shell, that knocked his head to atoms. A moment afterwards a fellow had one of his fingers nearly cut off by a musket ball. He jumped around and took on with the pain, and seemed almost wild for a while. An Irishman belong- ing to the same company had laid down his gun, and was in the act of lighting his pipe at the time, and as he looked at the broken finger and the sorrowful face, re- marked to him, ‘‘ Be jabers, ye make more fuss than the man did that just lost his head.” A part of that night we slept in the pine woods, with one eye open in readiness’ for what might come. The long-looked-for ammunition train arrived from Vicksburg about dark. All the Union batteries on the line were placed in readiness, and were ordered to open fire on the rebel lines at daylight, and not to cease until orders were given to that effect. A little before two o’clock the Second Brigade was ordered into the pits, and those whom we relieved acted as our support. A large, bright light was seen in the direction of the city, and as we viewed it, when we took the pits, we quickly surmised that the rebel army was evacuating the city and were burning all the stores they could not move, and that the attack which they had made upon us in the afternoon before was only a feint to ascertain whether we were withdrawing from the contest or not, or how strong a force we had in their front. There in the darkness we stood in our line of earth- works, and watched the fire in the distant town as it grew larger and brigher, tinging the far away clouds, and making a grand midnight display. On the whole, it 7 98 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. was one of those pictures that vividly portray the rude hand of war, in which devastation and ruin go hand in hand, almost convincing the looker-on that the day of doom has come. That night, women and children in the city were forced to abandon their homes amid the smoke of burning houses and the tumult of war; while the loud knocks of the Yankee army at the very gates of the city added still more distress to the panic-stricken people, as they were fleeing for refuge through the blinding smoke and crackling flames. The Union army, whose lines extended many miles around that city, stood motionless in the darkness, and saw > «« Through the gloom, in pale and dreadful spires, Rise the terrors of the dark red fires ; Torches, and torrent sparks, by whirlwinds driven, Streamed through the smoke, and fired the clouded heaven.” We ‘* pinned our ears back” and listened for the sound of moving troops on the rebel line, and for the rumble of wagon trains, or the heavy jar of artillery moving. But all in vain: they were too far away to admit of our hear- ing them, and all that broad field, which had been washed by the tide of battle for the past seven or eight days, was silent. Daylight came at last, but no shots from our brethren in gray came with it, as we had been expect- ing. Their artillery was silent also, and this almost con- vinced us that their army had evacuated the city and their strong works, and had left for some other point, where the Yankees were not so troublesome, or, to use the phrase used by us then, I should say they had all ‘* skedaddled.”’ Up and down the Union line, at the right and left, the zigzag pits held a line of blue-coats, standing erect, look- ing over the works, and wondering what was going on across the line, and what had become of ‘‘ Johnnie Reb.” FACKSON EVACUATED. 99 Very soon after daylight the Second Brigade was ordered to advance, which it did with celerity, momentarily expecting a shower of lead or a dose of iron from the sixty-four pounder in its front. It was very plainly to be seen either that the rebel army had left, or else they had withdrawn nearer the city in order to shorten their line, and that they did not intend to open fire upon us until they could see the whites of our eyes. It was a lovely morning, one of the best we had seen during our sojourn in that state. The air was sweet and cool, and wafted the balmy, citron-scented breeze. God had hung his banner in the eastern sky, tinted with gold and saf- fron hues, and flushed with victory,—symbolic of what was soon to perch upon the banners of the Ninth Corps. Behind us, in the pine forest as well as throughout the woods in our front, the twittering of the birds was poured out upon the air of that Southern summer morning. As the long line of infantry jumped out of the earthworks to advance, it surged, swayed, bent, then straightened out like a huge reptile in its rapid advance. The count- less flags, as they were carried pitched a little forward, flapped in the gentle breeze, presenting a picture that must remain in the memory of those who witnessed it, printed in fast colors. In our rapid advance we soon crossed the open field or peach orchard, where we struck the rebel line the day before in a ravine thickly hemmed in by pine trees and thick undergrowth; but there were no earthworks at that point. Upon the large limbs of the trees, from four to six feet from the ground, I saw a lot of corn-cake that had been placed there the day before. The rebels laid it there that it might be convenient, and it showed that when they were tired of pegging away at the ‘‘ Yanks” they would take a rest and grind corn-dodgers for a while, doubtless cursing the Yankees at the same time. 100 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. When they retreated they forgot to take their grub with them. I am of the opinion they were very glad to leave, so much so as not to care a straw for corn bread. One of our number ate some of it, and pronounced it tip-top, but when L. spied what he was doing, he yelled at him, ‘« Throw that away; it’s pizen!” The ground under the pines and along the ravines was trampled to smoothness by the vigilant rebel soldiers, who were ever on the alert to watch the movements of the Union army. The gen- eral appearance of the grass and underbrush plainly told that they had a much larger force there than we had had any idea of, and it was no wonder that their shots fell thick and fast for those four days that we lay in reserve. The brigade made no halt at all, but pushed rapidly on, with that firm and rapid step with which an army advances; and it can be seen to-day in the imagination of those who were there that morning. The extreme left of the Eleventh Regiment, in climbing a bushy knoll, discerned the hiding-place of the rebel sharpshooter who had annoyed us so much. On the top of the knoll stood an oak tree that forked very near the ground, and had no trunk at all, but was all branches. Two hogs- heads had been filled with earth and placed one on each side of the tree, and ‘‘ Johnnie Reb” took his position between them, and fired through the crotch of the tree, which was about four feet from the ground. He was ‘perfectly secure, as all the musketry in the Ninth Corps would have failed to move him, even if they had known where he was concealed. One or two good shots from a battery would have made him duck his head and think that his time had come to get out of that or die. As it was, he had things all his own way, and had a jolly time sitting there, blazing away at the Union boys to the best of his ability. After leaving the ravine, the ground was ascending THE ABANDONED GUNNER. IOI all the way until we reached the top of the hill. The ground was very uneven and mostly wooded, although a large lot of trees had been cut away in order that artillery might have a good sweep and ricochet their shots with deadly effect in case the Union army advanced. We very soon came in sight of the fort, where the siege - gun was mounted that had shelled the Ninth Corps with untiring zeal for many days. Its black muzzle looked saucily through the embrasure of the fort, and we all expected to get a severe dose of canister when we got within proper distance. We had to cross two or three deep gullies formed by heavy rains, the work of years, perhaps. We had to cross the deep places on fallen trees as lively as possible, at the same time keeping our eyes peeled for what might come from the rebel gun. The moment we saw a puff of smoke from the gun we were to drop flat on the ground, and let the iron hail pass over our heads; then rise up and advance until another shot came. Happily the fort was abandoned save by one man, whom the rebels had left there to fire the heavy gun at us as soon as we reached a certain place marked by them. When this poor fellow saw the long blue line advancing, his courage failed, and he stood like a stone post and was taken prisoner. The gun was loaded with canister, filled nearly to the muzzle, and, being a sixty-four pounder, it would have scattered death and destruction in our ranks had it been fired. We asked the prisoner who loaded that gun in such a man- ner. He informed us that the gunner did, under orders from the commanding officer of the fort, and, as they all left with the retreating army, they left him to fire at us when we were within good range, and ‘‘Give the d—d Yankees h—1,” as they termed it. It was well that his knees grew weak and that his courage failed, for if he had done such a piece of work, he would have been sent 102 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. to kingdom come in short order. Doubtless he was well aware of that, and would much rather be taken prisoner than made into mince-meat, as he would have been. The colors of the Eleventh Regiment were carried over the high earthworks and through the fort, and they kissed the air of the morning in the same place where the rebel flag was waving only a few hours before. We soon learned that ‘‘Joe” Johnston and his army had evacuated the city and his strong works, and had left for parts where it would not be quite so hot with Yankee bul- lets and shells. Johnston’s rear-guard had not got out of the city then, and, though making rapid strides with their long shanks encased in butternut, they barely escaped falling into our clutches. Many of the rebel soldiers left their ranks, and hid in the bushes by the wayside on purpose td fall into our hands they claiming to be sick and tired of the war. The soldiers of Johnston’s army informed the citizens that they were forced to abandon their strong line of works and leave for other fields. They also informed them that as soon as the Yankee army entered the city they would all be killed; and at this terrible warning, the people fied for their lives, for the Yankees would soon enter the city, and wholesale butchery and burning would commence. All such talk told them by their own army set them wild with fear, as a matter of course, and they rushed from their homes, leaving everything behind them. Those of the citizens who were there at that time were mostly of the poorer class, or what is known in the South as ‘‘ poor white trash,’’ while all, or nearly all, of the wealthy class had left on the cars, or by their own conveyances, several days before. The poor panic-stricken mortals, when warned to flee for their lives, as they were, ran for dear life in all direc- tions. Many of them jumped from their beds, and did FRIGHTENED CITIZENS. 103 not stop to dress, but carried their clothing in their hands, and ran for the woods like lunatics. Many of them had no idea where the Union forces were advancing, neither did they stop to give the matter any thought in all their flight, but ran right toward the Union army that they were trying to get away from. They did not seem to have any idea of what they were doing, only that they were fleeing from the “vile Yankee horde,” not thinking for a moment that their lines extended nearly around the city. When the long lines of blue that nearly encircled Jackson advanced nearer the city, we came upon all these people necessarily. When they heard the crack- ling of our rapid footsteps in the woods and shrubbery, they lay low in their hiding-places among the bushes, and listened to the beatings of their hearts, almost palsied with fear. They verily believed that their hour had come, and that for them it was the last of earth. Many of the women were so badly frightened that they dropped upon their knees and began to pray to be protected from the Yankees. I soon formed an opinion that it was the first prayer they had ever made by the way they went at it. Their entreaties for us to spare their lives were pitiful to hear. We did pity them as soldiers do, but we showed our pity to them by words only, telling them they should not be harmed. We were in too much of a hurry to reach the city to stop and talk with them, but during the short halt we made we had to laugh at the poor terror-stricken wretches. In our rapid advance we came upon an old woman who was on her knees begging to be spared, and as we , passed her, L. addressed her thus: ‘‘ Halloo, old woman ! what the d—1 ails ye?” It was anything but a joke to her, but as it did not matter much if we did laugh, we concluded to look on the funny side. As the able-bodied men were all in the rebel army, we saw but few except 104 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. those too old for military duty. The women and children were to be pitied; and I look back upon them now with pity—but we were all a little hardened then. If our mothers, wives, and daughters had been in those peo- ple’s places, they would have felt just as those poor women did, and perhaps worse. ‘The women of the North will never know the privations the women of the South had to endure in those days. It was one picture of the great war; and once more I repeat, as I have many times during my sketches, that the horrors of war can never be appreciated save by those who saw it at their very doors, in the dark days of the Rebellion. The forlorn women were told to return to their homes, which they all gladly did as soon as they could. During the day, when in the city, I overheard the fol- lowing by an old colored woman, upon the arrival of her mistress from the woods whither she had fled: ‘Did n’t I tole ye dem Yankee sojers wouldn’t hurt ye, eh? Didn’t I tole ye dat Massa Linkum’s men would n’t hurt ye? Dey’s heaps better’n de rebel sojers is.” About half way between the fort and the city, the Eleventh Regiment came to a halt just as we came upon the broad street leading to the city. Here we had to ‘‘ Dress up!” an order we all despised when in a hurry. While we were thus manceuvring, though only for a moment, the rest of the brigade passed, and reached the city a little ahead of us, the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts being the reg- iment that tore down the Confederate flag floating from the court-house. The men ran up the stars and stripes in its place amid the shouts of the regiment, and much to our chagrin. The Eleventh could have had that honor just as well as not, as we were in advance all the way until the halt was made; but we made a bad move there, and stopped when we ought to have pushed on. Such ENTERING THE CITY. I05 delays are dangerous in a time of war. The boys of the old Eleventh were indignant over the matter, and it furnished something to swear about for the rest of the day. ‘‘All’s for the best,” is an old saying, and I will not censure any one at this late day for the slow move- ment. We now saw for the first time the tapering church spires, the cupola of the court-house with the rebel flag waving over it, and, near at hand, many fine dwellings with red brick chimneys, trailing vines cover- ing the piazzas, and surrounded by beautiful flowers sparkling with the silvered dew of the morning. A cloud of smoke that arose from the burning buildings hung over the city, and once more before our eyes was pictured the rude hand of war. At our right, and some distance away, stood the black- ened walls of the state-house, that was burned one year or more before—a monument marking the terrible desola- tion of war. As we marched down the broad street, with waving flags and gleaming bayonets, the Second Brigade band poured forth some of its best notes upon the morn- ing air, and brought the most violent rebels to their doors to see us pass, and look upon troops better dressed and better drilled than their own army, which they had just seen depart from their midst in a flight of utter disorder, a perfect ‘‘skedaddle.” The moving of the troops and the loud strains of music vividly reminded me of the old song so common in the days of the Mexican War: «« Under the walls of Monterey At daybreak the bugles began to play.” The citizens—what few there were left of them—looked sour and sad: they doubtless wished us in that place where huge fires.are made of brimstone by experienced firemen, and are kept, burning day and night the year round. They held a handkerchief to their faces as 106 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. they watched the long lines of blue sweep past. L. re- marked that some of the young ladies smiled upon him, and he made up his mind that they would all ‘ go in for the Union to a man.” Many of the dry remarks we made caused a smile to creep over their faces, where tears were trickling only a short time before. The colored people were in their glory. No big tears rolled down their ebony cheeks: they whooped, danced, sung, and husked their white ivories as they cheered ‘¢Mass’r Linkum’s men.” They had been living in con- stant fear while the rebel army held the city ; but on that morning they looked as though they had a big load lifted from their shoulders, and they were wild with joy. From their very souls they felt that ‘the year of jubilee” had come, and the long-looked-for day had dawned when they could run and awaken ‘‘ Nicodemus of old,” so often mentioned in the old song. We made no more halts, but hastened onward, each regiment trying to be the first to enter the panic-stricken town, while ‘« Drums and trumpets echoed loudly, Waved the crimson banners proudly.” As we had expected, the rebel army had really evacu- ated the city, and had retreated to Meridian. The strong picket force they left to watch the movements of the Union army up to daylight, together with many others of their army, hid in the woods with the citizens for the sole purpose of being taken prisoners. They informed us, when captured, that they were tired of fighting, had seen all the war they cared to, and were glad to fall into the hands of the Union army. We reached the city in a very short time,—in less time than I can tell it,—finding many of the large blocks in flames: many of them were piles of smoking ruins. Had not the Union boys taken hold and extinguished the flames, in a few hours more 4A WHISKEY BET. 104 they could have said very truthfully, ‘‘ Black ashes note where our proud city stood.” The burning of everything to prevent its falling into our hands was cutting their own fingers badly without injury to us; but that was the work of the rebel army, and was severely denounced by those who were left in the city. During our stay in that place we occupied Court-house square, where we stacked our guns and watched the fury of the flames across the street. On the back part of ‘the square the prisoners were placed under guard until they could be paroled. Very early on Monday morning, July 20, the Ninth Corps started on the return march to Milldale and Sny- der’s Bluff, where we were to take boats and return to the promised land of ‘‘Old Kaintuck.” The general com- manding the Ninth Corps, and another general whose name I have forgotten, bet a canteen of whiskey that one could march his corps back to Milldale in less time then the other. A canteen of corn juice was a very small quantity for two generals to bet on in such extremely hot weather, nevertheless it was done. As one brigade after another moved away, we bade good-bye to the fields, the woods, and the valleys, and gazed upon the distant spires of Jackson for the last time while engaged as soldiers of the illustrious ‘‘ Uncle Sam.” We did not expect to go so far south again during our term of ser- vice, consequently we were bidding adieu to Dixie, the land of the magnolia and cotton, to go to other green fields and pastures new, not forgetting that we had shared with her people ‘‘ hard times down in Dixie.” And yet, perhaps our next campaign would be just as severe, wherever it might chance to be. We had a little something in the way of rations issued to us the night before, Sunday evening, and more were promised for the next morning. On the morning of our departure we were all on our feet and equipped by day- 108 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. light, but saw no rations. ‘There were no more rations to issue to the troops, but every man received half a candle, which caused some sport and a good deal of swearing. ««Got so many candles that the mules can’t draw ’em, and they are packed off upon us to carry !” growled L. It is rather laughable, as we think of it now; but we saw instances of that kind very often then, so it was nothing new. The last thing before-leaving camp the shout was raised that the mail had arrived. Although it was a small one, there were many white-winged missives distributed, it being the first mail we had seen during the campaign. The letters were precious mementos from the homes. so far away, and where we all prayed to be when the cruel war was over. We started off on the long march that morning as though we were pursued by the rebel army; nor did the pace slacken, but rather increased, until we reached our destination. ‘* What does it all mean?” we asked; and the answer we received was, ‘‘ The boats are all waiting on the Yazoo river to take you back to Cairo.”” But the whole story was a black lie gotten up to hurry us on, as we were all very anxious to soldier on the soil of Ken- tucky once more. In consequence of the rapid march- ing, with no halt for rest or rations, under the extreme heat of a July sun, as a matter of course many were obliged to fall out. We all hung together pretty well until about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, when we were forced to look out for ourselves; and very soon soldiers from every regiment in the army could be seen scattered along the way-side. When night came on, no halt was made. It was the same rapid march onward; and, as we did not know anything about the whiskey bet, we were all more puzzled than ever to know why we were so hard pushed, especially since we were going away from the enemy and there were no rebels in our ¥ A STRAGGLING MARCH. Iog front; and what it could all mean was a mystery. Long after dark we took the matter into our own hands for a while, and fell out to spend the night by the road-side, thinking that we had marched far enough that day, the distance being over twenty miles. The place where we stopped was near Brownsville, a dirty Mississippi village, and nearly deserted save by the old people and by the blacks. The army was so badly scattered that when we halted for the night we were all in a confused mass. Many of the soldiers did not stop at this place, but continued to trudge on in the darkness; but as the men of other regiments came up and saw us resting, they exclaimed, ‘« Fell out for the night, boys?” and, upon receiving our answer, they quickly dropped from the ranks, remarking as they did so, ‘‘ Boys, we’re with ye!” We started on again at an early hour the next morning, being a little ahead of the lark, and the way we marched that day was a terror to all soldiers, and astonished the natives. About 5 o’clock that morning two or three of the Second Brigade band made a halt,—after marching two or three hours,—and prepared to make coffee. When they were about ready to ask a blessing over what little there was spread before them, General Parke rode up, and asked, «‘ What are you doing here?” ‘‘ Making coffee,’ was the answer. ‘‘ What corps do you belong to?” inquired the general. ‘‘The Ninth,” was the reply. ‘‘ Well, d—n it! don’t you know that the Ninth Corps is stretched. all along the road for six miles? Get up and go on!” roared the general, as his eyes flashed from the effects of the canteen of whiskey he had bet. ‘* Yes, we will,” answered the boys, and at once prepared to do so, but as soon as the general was out of sight they made their coffee all the same, contented to let the corps stretch out another six miles. All the troops started for the day’s. IIo ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. march at an early hour, and all day we measured off the miles with our feet at a lively pace, and sun-strokes were frequent. The.route back to Milldale was not the one we marched over in going to Jackson. By the change we found more water by the road-side, which aided us very much; but when I say more water, 1 do not wish to be understood as saying that we found enough to keep us from suffering, by any means. Long before noon the entire army was marching to suit its own convenience, lagging behind no more than could be helped, not know- ing how near the rebel guerillas were to us, watching our movements. There was no order at all during the march, owing to the rapid way it was commenced. The army was so scattered for miles that the only adequate description would be, ‘‘ completely demoralized.” A regi- ment is always supposed to be where the commanding officer or the colors are, but on that march no one could tell where that was. We hardly knew to what regiment we did belong. I asked a colored teamster if his wagon was a Ninth Corps wagon, and his answer was, ‘‘ Dun- no, massa, dunno,” which made it very certain that the teamsters were all demoralized as well as the troops. About all we did know on that day was that we were on the march, or, more properly, on the double-quick : we were very certain of that. A strong rear-guard, with strict orders to drive any man along who fell out, as is always the case when on the march, followed the long and straggling line of blue, but it did no good: they themselves were all used up, and straggled as badly as the regiments they were supposed to push along, and very soon there was no rear-guard at all. When we asked a brother soldier, whom we overtook on the dusty road, ‘* To what regiment do you belong? ” very likely his answer would be, ‘‘I used to belong to the THE “HOG RAID.” III Regiment, but cuss my brass buttons if I know where I do belong to-day.” That march was a severe one, and there are many of the old comrades living to-day who were there, and they can testify to the facts as I have stated them. We marched until a late hour that night, and bivouacked in a large field of corn, such as is common in Missis- sippi, about three miles east of the Big Black river. In that immense corn-field were countless numbers of sol- diers—many thousands in all—belonging to many differ- ent regiments. Upon the outside, and also among the troops, was a large number of horses and mules, belong- ing to the supply trains and ambulances. In fact, it was one perfect jam of soldiers, horses, mules, and wag- ons, covering several acres. The night was really passed in one of the worst places we had seen that day ; for lying on rows of corn was not very comfortable, you may rest assured. It must have been near midnight when most of the troops arrived there, and the writer was about to say, ‘«« Now I lay me,” when he heard the loud command at some distance away, and echoing far and wide, then caught up by the officers, ‘‘ Fall in, men! for God's sake fall in! the rebels are coming!” A Dutchman from a Pennsylvania regiment ran past me, shouting at the top of his voice, ‘‘ Mein Gott in Himmel! we ish gone up dish time!” while another frenzied Teuton ran in the opposite direction calling to his comrades, ‘‘Come on mit me. Tunder und blixen, we vash gone to der tyful, sure!”’ All thé while could be heard the orders from the officers, ‘‘ Fall in, men, lively!” and then we heard the order to ‘‘ Fix bayonets!” all of which passed much more quickly than I can tell it. With all the excitement it was truly laughable. We soon found that it was not a rebel raid, but a hog 112 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. e raid. A large number of hogs ran out of the woods at some distance south of us with that ‘‘Ough! ough!” so common in hog language, and the horses and mules be- coming very much frightened broke and ran for dear life toward the sleeping army. With all the tramping of so many horses and mules, no wonder we thought the rebels were charging upon us. We had a long laugh over the matter, it being the first thing of the kind that ever happened to us in all our army life; and at this late day the “‘ hog raid in Mississippi” lives fresh and green in the memory of those who were there, and who will never call it to mind without a laugh. The Second Bri- gade remained in a piece of woods in a valley all the next forenoon. At noon the march was resumed, when we crossed the Big Black river. A violent thunder-shower came up about five o’clock, and the rain fell in torrents. We went on our way slowly over the muddy roads, going up a long hill. The mud was deep and dark- ness coming on, so we were obliged to stop for the night by the roadside. An old cotton gin near by was packed with troops, while many made their beds for the night upon the wet grass, with the black, floating clouds for a covering. We were up with the lark the next morning, and were soon on the march. The day was scalding hot, and at noon we feasted on green corn and peaches. In many places we found ripe figs growing in the yards of the wealthy planters. The colored people who lived along our line of march were very glad to see us, and, when we informed them that Vicksburg and Jackson had fallen, they were wild with delight, and exclaimed, ‘‘ Golly! what ’ll ole mas’er say now?” Their very looks plainly told that there was freedom on the old plantation for the first time. In the afternoon we reached our old camp at Milldale, as straggling and tired a lot of men as ever was seen. There we rested for a HORACE CLINTON BACON. 113 few days in the shade of the oaks, from which the long gray moss drooped so gracefully ; and near by the green cane-brakes grew in great abundance. BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES. CAPTAIN HORACE CLINTON BACON. Horace Clinton Bacon was born in Newton, Mass., ‘December 14, 1823; was educated at Phillips Exeter academy, studied law with Hon. John S. Wells, was admitted to the bar May 3, 1850, and commenced the practice of law under the firm name of Wells & Bacon. He was a member of the staff of Governor Nathaniel B. Baker in 1854, with the rank of colonel. In 1855 he took up his residence in Sioux City, Iowa, where he remained until 1860, when he removed to Epping, N. H., from which place, without enlisting, he was commis- sioned, September 4, 1862, captain of Company A, Elev- enth Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers. He was with the regiment at Fredericksburg, and a portion of the time afterward was judge advocate upon the staff of General S. D. Sturgis, commanding the Second Division, Ninth Corps. At the time of Morgan’s raid at Cincin- nati, in 1863, he was provost marshal of Central Ken- tucky, and was in command of twelve hundred men. He was honorably discharged from the United States service ‘‘on account of disability from wounds received in action,” by special orders No. 204, of the War Depart- ment, June 11, 1864, and was discharged from the hos- pital June 15, 1864. Since the war closed he has been superintendent of schools at Epping ; then removing to Lawrence, Mass., 8 II4 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. was elected from that city a member of the Massachu- setts legislature in 1872 and 1873, and a member of the state senate in 1874. He was for several years one of the land commissioners of Massachusetts, and in 1880 commenced the practice of law in Boston. Since 1882 he has not practised his profession on account of increas- ing disability. He resides in Lawrence, Mass. Captain Bacon received a severe wound in the head at Freder- icksburg, leading his men most gallantly in that terrific slaughter. From the effects of this wound he has had ‘long years of suffering. LIEUTENANT GILMAN B. JOHNSON. Gilman B. Johnson was born in Epsom, N. H., July 24, 1834, and received his education in the schools of that town and Epping, in which town he resided at the breaking out of the war. On September 4, 1862, he was commissioned second lieutenant of Company A, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers. He participated in the Battle of Fredericksburg, was with the regiment in its Kentucky and Mississippi campaigns, and then went over the mountains with it to Knoxville, taking a promi- nent part in the entire East Tennessee campaign. Lieu- tenant J. F. Briggs having resigned as quartermaster of the Eleventh Regiment, Lieutenant Johnson, who had been acting as quartermaster, was, at the request of all the officers of the regiment, commissioned quartermaster of the Eleventh Regiment, April 22, 1864, at Annapolis, Md., which position he held until the muster out of the regiment, June 4, 1865. Lieutenant Johnson brought to the discharge of his duties as quartermaster untiring energy and activity, and amid all the dangers of the last campaign, ever brought his train through in safety. He won the regard of his superior officers, and was officially \ Suet D, SEWELL D. TILTON. II5 complimented near the close of the war as being the most faithful quartermaster in the Second Division. Since the war he has resided most of the time, and still resides, in Concord, where he has been engaged in the boot and shoe business, selling throughout the state. He was a member of Governor S. W. Hale’s staff, with the rank of Brigadier-General, in 1883~84, and was elected commissary-general for the state. He was for several years elected quartermaster of the Veterans’ Association at the Weirs. In 1888 he was chosen one of the aldermen for the city of Concord for two years, and was reélected in 1890 for the same length of time. He took a very active and prominent part in the erection of the Regimental Head-Quarters building in connection with the Ninth New Hampshire Volunteers, at the Weirs, and to his efforts is largely due the elegant home of the regiment by Lake Winnipiseogee. CAPTAIN SEWELL D. TILTON. Sewell D. Tilton was born in Deerfield, N. H., December 9, 1824, and lived there until .1853, when he removed to Raymond, N. H., where he resided until his death. He was atone time adjutant of the Eighteenth Regiment, state militia, and in 1857 was one of the selectmen of Raymond. His occupation was that of a farmer. In August, 1862, in connection with Lieutenant Isaac H. Morrison, of Deerfield, he assisted in raising a company which was designated as Company B, for the Eleventh Regiment. He was commissioned captain of the company, September 4, 1862, and followed the for- tunes of the regiment, save at Fredericksburg, being then ill, until July 30, 1864, when he was severely wounded while in command of the regiment. After the 116 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. return from Mississippi and while the regiment lay at London, Ky., he received a furlough of twenty days, and returned to his home. At its expiration he reported at Cincinnati, and was ordered to report to Colonel S. G. Griffin, commandant of the post at Camp Nelson, Ky. He with other officers was placed in charge of a large supply train, cattle and horses, and a large number of convalescents, for Knoxville. He reached Cumberland Gap the day Longstreet surrounded Knoxville, and. could proceed no farther until the siege was raised. During the siege of Knoxville he was engaged under General A. B. Willcox in guarding the fords of Clinch river and the passes in the Clinch mountains, East Ten- nessee—a service full of dangers from exposure, and with liability of being killed by the guerillas who infested that region, as he travelled alone from post to post looking after the pickets. After the siege was raised he rejoined his regiment, and was in command of it until relieved by Colonel Harriman. He participated in the heavy battles during the last campaign in which the regiment was. engaged, and was prominent in capturing the rebel bat- tery at the Shand House on the morning of June 17, 1864. He was in command of the regiment at the explo- sion of the Mine on the 3oth of July following, where he received a severe wound, preventing his doing any further duty in the field. After months spent in the hospitals at various points, and a short furlough at his home, he was placed on light duty at New Haven, Ct., as a recruiting officer, where he remained until the close of the war, and was mustered out with his regiment June 4, 1865. After the war, Captain Tilton served three years as one of the commissioners for Rockingham county, was for many years a member of the board of education for the town of Raymond, and was a member of the staff of ISAAC H. MORRISON. 117 Governor Harriman, with the rank of colonel. He was quite prominent in the G. A. R., being at one time sen- ior vice-commander for the department of New Hamp- shire, but declined any further promotion, much to the regret of his friends. He was one of the oldest members in the state of the order of I. O. O. F., in which he had filled many important positions. He died quite suddenly at his home in Raymond, May 20, 1891, and was buried by both of the orders of which he had been such an hon- orable member. , CAPTAIN ISAAC H. MORRISON. Isaac H. Morrison was born in Deerfield, N. H., October 2, 1829, in the house erected by his great-grand- father in 1774. Some of his ancestors were engaged in the siege of Londonderry, Ireland, in 1689. He received his education in the common schools of the town, and at the academies at Pembroke and Hampton Falls. His occupation is that of a farmer. , He enlisted as a private August 15, 1862, and, by the men afterwards organized and mustered into the United States service as Company B, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers, was chosen first lieutenant, and received his commission as such September 4, 1862. He was hon- orably discharged from the service September 2, 1864, because of wounds received at Bethesda church, Va., June 2, 1864. Up to and including this battle, he had participated in every one in which the regiment had been engaged, as well as in the skirmishes. He was in com- mand of Company B at the battle of Fredericksburg, re- ceiving three separate wounds. He was also in command of Company B in the East Tennessee campaign, and during the siege of Knoxville was several times brigade officer of the day. When the regiment returned from 118 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. East Tennessee, he came by rail in charge of regimental and head-quarters baggage of the Second Division of the Ninth Army. Corps. At the battle of Spottsylvania he had command of companies C and I as skirmishers on the advance of the regiment, and captured thirty men and two commissioned officers. At Tolopotomoy creek, on the morning of June 2, he was placed in command of Company I, and still had command when wounded on the evening of that day. July 22, 1864, he was promoted to a captaincy and assigned to Company K, but was not mustered, as he was unable to be with the regiment because of. his wounds. The following account, from his own pen, of his record will be read with much interest : ‘‘After leaving our position on the right at Tolopoto- moy creek, we marched by the left in rear of the Second, Fifth, and Sixth corps, and had halted for coffee, but before getting it ready the rebels swung around and attacked our rear. We got into line double-quick, be- hind some old rifle-pits, and sent out a skirmish line. The Ninth New Hampshire was on our right, and a division composed of heavy artillery and dismounted cavalry on our left. About dark we received word that the skirmish line was not complete, and Company A was ordered to fill the gap. I connected with our line on the right, but did not find the skirmishers of the divi- sion on our left, when, hearing the sound of troops a little in advance, I left my men and went to reconnoitre. I advanced some ten or fifteen rods across the corner of a swamp, and found the ‘rebs’ just forming a line of battle. I then turned about, and saw three men advancing towards our lines in a diagonal direction; they discov- ered me about the same time. I came promptly to them and ordered them forward, and they, in the dark, sup- posing me to be one of their officers, obeyed orders, HOLLIS 0. DUDLEY. Ig and were close to my command, when they turned to shoot me; but I ordered my men to shoot, and they surrendered. JI then ascertained that the division on our left had no skirmishers, and I commenced to draw the left of my line back to protect the left flank, when a gun was cocked and the cap exploded close to me. I at once ordered ‘Come in!’ but he did not come, but discharged his rifle, the ball passing through my right arm. My skirmishers fired upon him, and a man was found dead near that spot in the morning. This was the last duty I performed in the service.” Captain Morrison was town-clerk at the time he enlisted. Since the war he has represented the town in the legislature in 1865 and 1866; has held nearly or quite all the offices in the gift of his townsmen; is a trustee of the Philbrick James public library ; has been a member of Union Lodge, I. O. O. F., for more than forty years ; has been commander of J. E. Chadwick Post 70,G.A.R. ; and was a charter member of Deerfield Grange P. of H. CAPTAIN HOLLIS O. DUDLEY. Hollis O. Dudley was born in Alton, N. H., Decem- ber 13, 1833, and at the age of seven years his parents moved to Gilmanton, N. H., in the district schools of which, and at the academy, he received his education. In 1851 he removed to Manchester, where he was for some time an employé upon the Stark corporation; then with the Amoskeag Company’s iron foundry as a moulder. In 1858 he was elected night watch upon the police force of Manchester, which position he held until ae the breaking out of the war. On the 16th day of April, 1861, in company with J.C. Abbott, then adgutant-general of the state, and John L. 120 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Kelley, he went to Concord and tendered his services to Governor Goodwin to enlist and raise a company of infantry for the three months regiment which had been called for from New Hampshire. He enlisted April 17, 1861, and was commissioned second lieutenant of Com- pany K, First Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers, April 30, 1861, being mustered into the service May 1, 1861, and mustered out August 9, 1861.

H., October 31, 1824, his paternal and maternal grandfather being soldiers of the Revolution. He married, Septem- ber 23, 1847, Salina O. Bickford, of Epsom. He was a farmer by occupation, teaching school during the winter. He was one of the selectmen of the town, and filled other positions of trust. His biographer says of him,— ‘When the old flag was fired upon at Sumter, his patriotism was aroused, and when men were asked to volunteer by the beloved Lincoln, he said, ‘Shall I remain at home in such a time of need? No! While the blood of my ancestors courses through my veins, I feel it my duty to go, and I must go.’ He told me that he was in sixteen battles, and he had no fear of death. He was severely wounded, and came to his home for a short time, but his courage and patriotism did not abate. When the war was over, he came home and, resumed his former occupation, and as a trader in a country store for awhile, for his system had received so many shocks that he was not the strong man of other years. He had rheumatism very severely, which culminated in paraly- sis. For twelve or more years he was lame, going upon crutches, and for three years before he died could not dress or feed himself. During all these long years of suffering he loved to recount his battle scenes, and when his comrades called to see him, his vigor and his patriot- ism seemed renewed. He was patient through it all, and never regretted that he gave his life for his coun- try.” This is indeed a loving tribute, such as only a sister could give, and truthful, as every member of the Eleventh Regiment knows, to every one of whom he endeared himself by his genial disposition, his manly bearing, and HENRY G. DILLENBACK. 127 his unflinching courage. At the-first reunion of the regiment after the war, held at Manchester, the entire regiment joined in resolutions tendering the brave man their deepest sympathy and continued respect. LIEUTENANT HENRY G. DILLENBACK. Henry G. Dillenback was born in Dickinson, N. Y., in 1832. August 18, 1862, he enlisted as a member of Company E, Eleventh Regiment New Hampshire Volun- teers, being then a resident of Derry, N. H. He was mustered into the United States service August 29, 1862, and was commissioned first sergeant of his com- pany. He was wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg, and on the promotion of First Lieutenant Arthur C. Locke to be captain of Company E, he was commis- sioned first lieutenant, his commission dating December 18, 1862. In January following he was detailed as com- mander of the provost guard at division head-quarters, and rejoined his regiment at Mount Sterling, Ky., in the month of April following. He was with the regiment through the Mississippi campaign, and upon the return of the regiment to Kentucky he was again detailed as commander of the provost guard at the division head- quarters, and took charge of a large wagon train over the Cumberland mountains, arriving at Knoxville, Tenn., September 25, 1863. January tst, following, he rejoined his regiment, then lying at Blaine’s cross-roads, remain- ing with it two weeks, when he received an order from Major-General John G. Foster, then commanding the Ninth Army Corps, to report at Knoxville for duty upon the railroad. Here he remained until May, 1864, when he came home on a sick leave of thirty days, being quite ill because of the severe duties he had been discharging 128 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE, in his usual prompt and faithful manner for so many months. At the expiration of his furlough he reportec at Washington, and was sent from there to a hospital ai Annapolis, being still seriously ill, with no immediate prospect of being able for duty in the field. He was, or July 22, 1864, honorably discharged from the service, having been on duty of various kinds nearly all the time for a period of nearly two years. He is a resident o! Haverhill, Mass. CAPTAIN CHARLES WOODWARD. Charles Woodward was the son of Gage and Betsey Woodward, and was born in Sutton, N. H., November 3, 1837. He has resided in New London most of his life. He enlisted as a private in Company F, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers, August 9, 1862; was appointed second sergeant of the company, and, upon the resigna- tion of Lieutenant Messer, was promoted first lieutenant September 30, 1862. He was commissioned captain ot! the company January 30, 1863, in place of Captain Carr, resigned, and was honorably discharged from the service, for disability, June 23, 1864. Captain Woodward was with his regiment continuously until its return from the East Tennessee campaign, and until he became physically disabled. During the most trying days of the siege of Knoxville he was in charge of forty men stationed in the ‘‘round-house” at the rail- road station, with the walls pierced, with orders to defenc it until the last man was killed or captured, which order: were most faithfully and ably carried out. Captain Woodward represented New London in the state legislature in 1885-’86, and is a carpenter anc house-builder. CHAPTER V. From Aveust 14, 1863, ro DrceMBER 7, 1863—East TENNESSEE— THE SimeGE oF KNOXVILLE—HARDSHIPS OF THE REGIMENT— BioerapHic SKETCHES oF ComMPANY OFFICERS—SERG@’T McAL- LISTER’S EXPERIENCES AT Lippy PRISON AND SALISBURY. And now, resting in their pleasant camping-place, the men of the regiment were wondering what the next move would be. Already Burnside had planned his campaign to reconquer East Tennessee, and was about to set out with the Twenty-third Corps, leaving his corps, the Ninth, to follow as soon as possible. The Eleventh had earned the reputation of being the most hardy regiment of the brigade, and it might well have been said, of the division also. The men bore their hardships bravely, and though very many were ill and unfit for duty, they preferred remaining with the regiment to entering any hospital with an almost absolute certainty of dying, or becoming disabled for life, because of their crowded condition. So, when the rumor filled the camp that East Tennessee was their destination, they hailed it with pleasure, saying, ‘‘ Anywhere but Mississippi.” Here Captain Dudley was placed in command of the regiment because of the illness of Lieutenant-Colonel Col- lins, and on Wednesday, August 26, at 5 p. m., the regi- ment left Covington by rail, reached Nicholasville, a dis- tance of 112 miles, shortly after midnight, and that day went into camp about four miles beyond. There it remained, resting and recruiting, until September 8, when an order was received to be ready to march the next day with three days’ rations. The regiment moved at the time designated, leaving seventy-five sick men in 9 I30 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. camp, and marched to Crab Orchard. Here Rev. E. T. Lyford, the new chaplain, joined the regiment, and was most cordially received. A portion of the Ninth Corps was already on the march to Knoxville, and on Wednes- day, the 15th, the regiment broke camp, marched seven- teen miles, and camped at Cave Spring. The next forenoon, after marching seven miles, we halted to let 2,200 rebels pass us. ‘These were captured by Burnside a few days previous at Cumberland Gap. There were three regiments of them,—one Tennessee, one North Carolina, and one Georgia,—all under com- mand of General Frazer. The Georgia regiment was cross and sullen, but the other two were in good spirits, and bandied many a joke with the boys of the Eleventh as they passed by. An old colored man attached to the Eleventh Regiment, standing by the writer of this, seemed very much pleased, and said, ‘‘ You didn’t make much gigging [fighting] this time, did you? You’se got your rights: now you’d better go home ;” and then turning said, ‘‘Got ’em now, haint we, cap’n?” After this interesting incident the regiment resumed its march, and, after fording ‘‘Big Rock Castle” river, passed over ‘‘ Wild Cat” mountain, near the summit of which the rebel general, Zollicoffer, attacked Colonel Garrett; but he was badly defeated, having been held at bay by Union bush-whackers until Garrett had been reinforced. On the summit one team of the regiment tipped over, and its load, consisting partly of sugar and hard bread, went rolling down the hill. Everything was made right after awhile, and three miles further on the regiment camped. Resuming the march the next morn-. ing, we went into camp that noon about two miles from London in Laurel county. Here an order was received appointing Captain Cogs- well provost-marshal of the town, but some of the First EAST TENNESSEE. I31 Division of the Ninth Corps were still there, and the order was countermanded. The regiment did a large amount of picket, guard, and fatigue duty ; also escorted a great many prisoners to Crab Orchard on their way North. On October 5, Captain Cogswell was placed in command of the regiment, for Captains Dudley and Til- ton had gone home on furloughs. Saturday, October 10, an order was received to be ready to move at once. At an interview between the captain commanding the Eleventh Regiment and Lieutenant-Colonel Schell com- manding the brigade, it was discovered that the brigade was on half rations, and the Eleventh having no more than that, and there being no time to secure more, as he was under orders to be in Knoxville in eight days, he decided to leave that regiment with orders to secure eight days’ rations, and follow on as soon as possible. So, turning over the command of the regiment to Cap- tain Cogswell, he left for the front. The regiment expected to march in three days at the farthest, but was not able to do so. Sunday night, October 11, Parson Brownlow, wife, and four daughters, and Hon. Horace Maynard, wife, and two daughters, spent the night at London. They were on their way to their homes in East Tennessee, from which they had been driven two years previous. Among Brownlow’s daughters was the one who defended with a revolver the stars and stripes on the roof of her father’s house in Knoxville. As they left the next morning, Brownlow sid to the men of the Eleventh, ‘‘ My parting advice to you, boys, is, Never kill a guerilla prisoner: take him out in the woods somewhere and leave him.” But the order had come to proceed to Knoxville at once. October 16, new clothing was issued to the men who needed it, eight days’ rations were secured, and the men supplied with three quarters rations for three days. 132 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Though having few teams, the regiment broke camp at London Saturday, October 17, at 2 p. m., marched nine miles and camped. The march was resumed the next morning in a drenching rain, and at the end of six miles we camped in some old out-houses by the side of the road. Here an ox team was pressed into the service, and on Monday the march to Barboursville, thirteen miles, was made. Here another team was found. The next day, after a march of sixteen miles, we forded the river at Cumberland Ford, and went into camp on its southerly bank. Just after getting into camp, this dis- patch was received by the commanding officer of the regiment from General Fry: U.S. MILITARY TELEGRAPH, BARBOURSVILLE, October 20, 1863. By telegraph from Camp Nelson, 2oth, 1863. To Cart. Croxton, Lonnon, Ky.: Dispatch the commanding officer commanding the 11th N. H., and say it would be well for him to return and wait for Captain Day’s train. Also dispatch General Burnside, and let him know the danger. Have you no one to send out to ascertain the facts in regard to the rebels at London? If so, send at once. I will try and send a force to London. Ss. S. Fry, Brigadier-General. Another orderly immediately appeared from Cumber- land Gap, fourteen miles below, bearing this dispatch: : October 20, 1863. By telegraph from Camp Nelson. To COMMANDING OFFICER, IITH N. H., C. Gap: I have just received a dispatch that a body of rebels had reached Manchester, Clark county, only 25 miles from London, and that Cap- tain Day has a large train between, London and Barboursville. I request that you return with your regiment, and escort and guard the train on. There is no force at London, and it would be impossible for me to get a force there in time if the rebels are at Manchester. S. S. Fry, Brigadier- General. EAST TENNESSEE. 133 General Fry had nothing to do with the Eleventh Regi- ment, but in the absence of any orders from Burnside at Knoxville, the commanding officer decided to return to Captain Day’s rescue. He dispatched an orderly to warn him of his danger, sent an orderly to Cumberland Gap with a dispatch to Burnside stating General Fry’s request, and asking for instructions. One hundred and twenty-five men were detailed to make the return march, accompanied by two lieutenants, Adjutant Morrison, and Surgeon Moore,—the whole under command of Captain Cogswell. Although a wearisome march had been made that day, the men of the regiment were ready, to a man, to turn back and make a night march. ' But it was thought best to leave a portion of the men in camp. Just after dark the river was again forded, and an advance guard thrown out. The march was taken up at midnight. Six miles from camp the men were met by a messenger,—one of their own regiment, returning from a furlough—Ira G. Wil- kins, of Company C,—with the following dispatches : BARBOURSVILLE, October 20, 1863. By telegraph from Knoxville, 20, 1863. TO.sOPERATOR : Do n't have the Eleventh New Hampshire return, but send word for them to halt where they are for Captain Day’s train, and come as escort. A. E. BURNSIDE, Major-General. To COMMANDING OFFICER, IITH N. H. VOLs.: Enclosed you find dispatch from General Burnside. He was informed of your being ordered back, and sends enclosed telegram counter- manding that order. I think Captain Croxton has ordered Captain Day to halt with his train between here and London, where they now are. Respectfully, 6 PERATOR. 134 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. The regiment immediately faced about, and reached its camp just at daylight in the midst of a pelting rain. The day following, one of those terrific mountain storms, which need to be passed through to be enjoyed, was ex- perienced. The wind blew a gale, the rain descended in torrents, the Cumberland river was a roaring, raging flood, and everybody and everything in and about the camp was thoroughly soaked. During the afternoon the following dispatch was received . KNOXVILLE, October 21, 1863. To Cart. L. W. CoGSWELL, Commanding Eleventh N. H. Vols.: Gen. Potter directs that you remain at the Gap until the train comes up: then guard it to its destination. G. H. McKIBBEnN, Assistant Adjutant-General. It was fourteen miles to the Gap; and the next morn- ing, in the most severe storm the regiment ever encoun- tered, it broke camp and commenced wading to the Gap. At the end of eleven miles it took shelter for the night in some out-buildings. The next morning it passed through one of the most remarkable gate-ways in this country, and reached the camp below about noon, where the fol- lowing dispatch was received : “ KNOXVILLE, October 22, 1863. Capt. L. W. COGSWELL: Bring your regiment to this place without waiting for Captain Day’s train, Colonel Lemerts will furnish you rations, if he has them to spare. A. E. BuRNSIDE, Major-General. This was a welcome order to the boys, and, after secur- ing a few supplies from Colonel Lemerts’s scanty stores, the regiment took up its march for Knoxville, sixty-five miles away. We camped in a pine wood that night, and the next day, Sunday, marched sixteen miles. The next ORDERED TO KNOXVILLE. 135 day at 11 a. m., Clinch river was reached. The river was full, but a flat-boat from the other side was obtained, and in two hours the regiment were all safely across, and four- teen miles more was made. The next day a march of seventeen miles was made, and on the 28th we camped about one mile north of Knoxville, having been twelve days on the march, only four of which had been pleasant, the rest being made up of the severe storms and heavy gales of wind peculiar to mountainous regions at that season of the year.. Though living on half rations, and marching over the worst possible roads, with constant exposure, only two men were left on the march, and but few were on the sick-list when the regiment arrived at Knoxville. The rest of the Ninth Corps being at Loudon, thirty miles below Knoxville, Captain Cogswell reported to Colonel Riley, commanding the post, and delivered the prisoners the regiment had taken down from Loudon. A little later he reported to General Manson, who on the next day issued the following order: HEAD-QUARTERS, 23D ARMY CORPS, KNOXVILLE, TENN., Oct. 29, 1863. COMMANDING OFFICER, Eleventh Regiment N. A. Vols., Infantry: S1r,—The General commanding directs that you report in person at these head-quarters, when your regiment is ready to move, and before you march, that he may give you further and more minute instructions than are contained in the accompanying order. I am, sir, respectfully your obedient servant, R. C. Kise, Captain, and Assistant Adjutant-General. HEAD-QUARTERS, 23D ARMY CORPS, KNOXVILLE, TENN., Oct. 29, 1863. SPECIAL ORDERS, No. tol. [EXTRAcT.] 3d. The commanding officer of the Eleventh Regiment New Hamp- shire Vol. Infantry, will proceed, early to-morrow morning, with his 136 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. command, to Lenoir’s, Tenn., and report to Brigadier-General Potter, commanding Ninth Army Corps. The regiment will march by the road usually travelled by wagon-trains between this place and Lenoir’s. By command of Brigadier-General Manson: R. C. KIsE, Assistant Adjutant-General. Commanding Officer 11th N. H. Vols. In accordance with this order the commanding officer of the Eleventh reported with his regiment to General Manson, and, after waiting nearly half a day for instruc- tions, an order was received from General Potter to have the Eleventh Regiment remain at Knoxville until further orders, that it might recruit from its march over the mountains. ‘The regiment marched back to its camping- ground of the night previous, where a camp was laid out, and good, substantial log-houses were erected, the first and only time while in the service that the Eleventh Reg- iment had anything that looked like comfortable quarters. Among the many incidents that occurred on this march, was one especially worthy of note. Just before night of the second day from Cumberland Gap, the regiment camped near a large orchard, the trees in which were loaded with most tempting apples. It belonged to.a man and his wife, both very aged, who had been unable to gather the fruit. They very generously said to the men of the regiment, ‘‘ Leave us what we need for the winter, and you are welcome to the rest.”” In half an hour the apples were all gathered, the larder of the old couple filled with them until they fairly cried «‘ Enough!” and the remainder was distributed to the regiment. But the men of the Eleventh Regiment were having too much of a good thing. There was work ahead. Rumors of all kinds filled the camp, and, on November 15, the regiment was ordered to ‘‘ be ready at a moment’s notice.” There was heavy firing across the river. Burnside was reported falling back to Knoxville, and there was much THE SIEGE OF KNOXVILLE. 137 excitement everywhere. At 5 o’clock the next morning an order was received to form a line of battle near the town at once, and in three fourths of an hour the regiment formed a line of battle with other troops, three quarters of a mile from its camp. At dark we were ordered to occupy a gap north and west of the town, which we did, holding the position until the next night, when we were withdrawn and rejoined our old brigade in town, much to the delight of the regiment and of the brigade as well, and the siege commenced. A change in the line was made on Novem- ber 19, and the serious work of the siege began. The day previous a sharp fight occurred on the left at an earth- work, where the enemy were repulsed, with a loss to the Union side of General Sanders, a most gallant and efficient officer. The earthwork was strengthened, and named in honor of him. The Eleventh occupied the left of the Second Brigade on a little elevation directly in the rear of the depot and car-houses of the railroad centring there. Trenches were dug, fortifications thrown up, trees felled, forts built, dams erected on the small creek separating the city proper from North Knoxville, where were some one hundred houses, some of them the most elegant in the city; and beyond these a line of pickets was established nearly as strong as the main’ line in town. Captain Woodward, of Company F, with forty men of the Eleventh, was stationed in the round-house at the depot, and Lieutenant Shepard, of Company A, with ten men, was stationed in the engine-house, both having orders to hold them ‘* to the last moment.” The walls were pierced for defence, the locomotives and cars all made as secure as possible, and all prepared with combustible matter so they could be fired if likely to fall into the hands of the enemy. The most important parts of the locomotives were taken out and concealed, thus rendering them useless if capt- ured. I 38 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. One half of the regiment was detailed on picket duty. the balance on fatigue duty in town ; and every fourth day its commanding officer was detailed as division officer of the day. A fire brigade was formed of the men of the division, whose duty it was to see that in case of an attack the buildings on the north side of the creek which had been prepared for firing were burned. But little sleep was tobe had. And thus the siege wore on, varied by the attempts of the enemy to drive in our pickets, which resulted in burning every building across the creek before the siege ended. The Eleventh shared the hardships with all the regiments, securing only quarter rations, these consisting of corn meal (corn and cobs ground together), a small piece of fresh pork, a little sugar, a very little coffee, and a small allowance of tobacco once a week. Every day, and especially every night. an attack from the enemy was expected. Firing along the picket line was incessant both day and night. But the army had unlimited confidence in their commander, and amid all the perils and privations of their situation there was not a faint heart among them. All seemed inspired by their heroic general, who daily rode along the line to give the boys good cheer. On Monday evening, November 23, the enemy made a desperate attack upon our picket line, but were driven back. About twenty buildings were burned during the fighting, among them an arsenal in which were stored a large number of condemned shells; and for a couple of hours there was music in the air in every direction. Thus matters stood, the prospect for the deliverance of the beleaguered garrison growing very dim and cheerless, until Saturday, November 28, when the heavens were hung in black and a heavy rain-storm set in. Lights were required in buildings by the middle of the afternoon. Shortly after noon, Colonel McKibben, of the staff of THE SIEGE OF KNOXVILLE. 139 General Potter, came to Captain Cogswell, who was divi- sion officer of the day and in command of the picket line, and said,—‘‘ General Burnside directs that a double vigi- lance be exercised on the picket line. Several rebel deserters have come in, and, from their story and from many other things that have been learned, the general is confident that an attack is about to be made upon our works, which probably will commence at midnight.” The caution was not a needless one, for about 10 :30 that evening firing commenced in front of the First Division, and the skirmishing gradually became general. A few of the pickets of the Second Division fell back, but the ground was quickly retaken, and the firing continued during the night. At 5 a. m. Longstreet hurled several thousand picked troops against our lines, the main point being the capture of Fort Sanders on the west side of the town. Lieutenants Benjamin and Buckley with their batteries mowed them down like grass before the scythe, and Ferrero, in command of the fort, with his men defended it bravely. Again and again the enemy charged, to be as often repulsed, and at 7 o’clock the battle was over, the enemy being foiled at every point. The whole history of the war cannot show more hero- ism than was displayed by the Ninth Corps in its brilliant defence of Knoxville that night. The morning following, under a flag of truce, Longstreet buried his dead and carried away his wounded, and while this was being done the pickets met midway between the lines and spent sev- eral hours together. The officers and men of the enemy’s line expressed themselves as being sick of the war. The pickets in front of the Eleventh Regiment were the Pal- metto Sharpshooters from South Carolina, and they com- plimented the men of the Eleventh for the accuracy with which their fire was delivered. The time for the flag of truce had expired: the pickets of each line ran to 140 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. their posts, and were quickly firing at the very men with whom they had been in social conversation so recently. The enemy’s loss in this fight was about 1,400 in killed, wounded, and prisoners, two hundred of whom were capt- ured by one company each from the Twentieth Michi- gan and the Twenty-ninth Massachusetts, who made an advance into the ditch at the left of the fort. ‘Two flags were also taken. Longstreet had promised his men that they should dine in Knoxville on that day; but he found that Knoxville could not be taken, and he felt his defeat very keenly. The Union loss in this assault was eight killed, five wounded, and thirty captured. One regiment of the enemy was nearly annihilated, and its flag was captured. It proved to be the Seventeenth Mississippi, one of the regiments that did such execution upon the Union men who first attempted to lay the pon- toons at Fredericksburg. Pollard, in his history of the war, says of the enemy’s loss, ‘‘In this terrible ditch the dead were piled eight or ten feet deep. In comparatively an instant of time we lost 7oo men in killed, wounded, and prisoners. Never, excepting at Gettysburg, was there in the history of the war a disaster adorned with the glory of such devoted courage as Longstreet’s repulse at Knoxville.” December 2 there was heavy firing, and another attack was anticipated. The enemy had been signalling for hours. ‘‘ Keep a sharp lookout on the picket line!” was the order, but no attack was made. The next day the same firing continued, and occasionally heavy trains and some troops could be seen moving tothe eastward. This continued through the 4th, and on the morning of December 5 the first sound heard was this order, ‘« The enemy’s retreating! Fall in, and give chase!” Troops were sent in all directions, the Eleventh with the rest, and a large number of prisoners were taken. By mid- CONGRATULATIONS. I4I day all had returned, and before night an order was received to dispense with interior guards and to lie down and get some sleep. This was a most welcome com- mand, and for the first time in three weeks a good night’s rest was taken by the exhausted army. The men of the Eleventh never knew the real hard- ship of a soldier’s life before this siege. They expe- rienced what no other New Hampshire troops ever did, and have but little idea of. Every man did his duty Bravely and promptly, both officers and men getting what little sleep they could with one eye open, though for eight days at one time during the siege the officers of the Eleventh did not remove their sword belts. A large number of prisoners were taken the morning ‘the siege was raised, and, as they came in, some of the men of the Twenty-third Corps began to tantalize them, but were answered very handsomely by some of them say- ing, ‘* You needn’t say anything: no credit belongs to you. If the Ninth Corps hadn’t been here, we could have come in any time we pleased.” General Burnside issued the following congratulation : HEAD-QUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE OHIO, IN THE FIELD, DECEMBER 5, 1863. The commanding general congratulates the troops on the raising of the siege. With unsurpassed fortitude and patient watchfulness they have sustained the wearing duties of the defence, and with unyielding cour- age they have repulsed the most desperate assaults. The Army of the Ohio has nobly guarded the loyal region it redeemed from its oppres- sors, and has rendered the heroic defence of Knoxville memorable in the annals of the war. Strengthened by the experiences and successes. of the past, they now, with the powerful support of the gallant army which has come to their relief, and with undoubted faith in the Divine protection, enter with the brightest prospects upon the. closing scenes of a most brilliant campaign. During the siege there were but three captains in the brigade who were placed in charge of the picket line: 142 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Captain Woodward of Company F, of the Eleventh, was one of them. Only four commanders of all the regiments in the division were detailed as division officers of the day, of whom Captain Cogswell of the Eleventh was one. Lieutenants Shepard and Johnson of Company A, Mor- rison of Company B, Clark and Lyford of Company C, Modica of Company D, Dillenback and Frost of Com- pany E, Little and Sanborn of Company H, Bell of Company G, Dimick of Company H, Currrier of Com- pany I, Everett of Company K, Adjutant Morrison, arfd Sergeant-Major Paige were constantly on the alert, and did everything in their power to assist the brave, devoted, heroic men of the regiment in everything they were called upon to do; and upon all sides the old Eleventh received words of commendation for its valiant service during those trying times. BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES. CAPT. CHARLES E. FROST. Charles E. Frost was born in Belgrade, Me., in 1841. He was residing in Hampstead, N. H., at the outbreak of the war, where he enlisted, August 12, 1862, as a pri- vate in Company E, of which company he was commis- sioned second lieutenant, September 4, 1862. He was promoted to first lieutenant, July 25, 1864, and assigned to Company A, of which company he was promoted to cap- tain, receiving his commission, dated February 17, 1865, and was mustered out of the service with the regiment, June 4, 1865. During the last campaign Lieutenant Frost was for some time acting adjutant of the regiment. He was severely wounded at the siege of Knoxville. Lieutenant Dillenback says, ‘The first mishap to the CHARLES E. BARTLETT. 143 company [E] was the night we left Orleans, on the way _to Fredericksburg, when Lieutenant Frost was taken sick and we had to leave him ata farm-house, where he was taken prisoner; also two men left to care for him, C.J. Hoyt and Frank S. Eastman. All of these were paroled, went to camp,at Annapolis, Md., were exchanged and returned to the company in June, 1863, at Stamford, Ky.” At the assault at the Shand House, June 17, 1864, Lieutenant Frost was one of the first to enter the fort, showing bravery-of a high order. LIEUT. CHARLES E. BARTLETT. Charles E. Bartlett was born in Nottingham, Novem- ber 25, 1839; resided in Epping until his enlistment in Company A, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers, and was mustered into the service of the United States with his regiment July 25, 1864. He was promoted to second lieutenant of Company A, but for lack of men in his company he was not mustered. February 27, 1865, he received a commission as first lieutenant, and was mus- tered as such at Hancock station, Va., February 28, 1865, and was discharged from the service with the regi- ment June 4, 1865. Upon the return of the regiment to Kentucky from the Mississippi campaign, Lieutenant Bartlett, being in ill health, was ordered to report for detached service at Concord, together with several others of the Eleventh and Ninth New Hampshire Volunteers, and while on the way was quite ill for a portion of the time. At Con- cord he was assigned quarters at Camp Gilmore, where were congregated substitutes, conscripts, and bounty- jumpers, whom the state was then assigning to the old regiments in the field. His first duty was to assist in 144 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. taking a large number to Long Island, Boston harbor. There the guard of which he had command was placed on board a vessel with 700 of these desperadoes, bound for Point Lookout, Md., with two days’ rations on board. A severe storm of seven days’ duration was encountered, and for several days the ration for all was one pint of condensed water. Of course there was great rejoicing when port was reached. He afterwards went in charge of hundreds of these men to Morris Island and the adja- ,cent islands. The most extreme measures had to be resorted to with such fellows, from the worst class of the population of the cities. Lieutenant Bartlett rejoined the regiment at Annapolis on its return from the East Tennessee campaign, and with a detail of twenty men reported to the brigade com- missary for duty. He was immediately placed in charge of the herd of cattle belonging to the brigade. This was a perilous task, but was most faithfully performed. Often outside of the lines, several times bushwhacked and the herd stampeded, yet so faithful were the guards that the herd had gained ten in number when Petersburg was reached, notwithstanding twenty were lost the first night out. One night, returning from an unsuccessful search for some of his cattle in a piece of woods, he spied a rebel lying near an oak tree, apparently dead. Pricking him with his bayonet, and ordering him to get up, had no effect, and he left him. He soon returned, to find him gone, and he himself joined his guards without delay. Lieutenant Bartlett had charge of the guards for one pur- pose and another until the war closed. He was adjutant and commander of Post 80,G.A.R., at Epping, and was assistant inspector-general under General Alger, national commander G. A. R., and was assigned to New Hampshire. He is a shoe-cutter, and resides at Derry Depot. MERRILL FOHNSON. 145 Lieutenant Bartlett gives these interesting incidents : James M. Sleeper came out for roll-call one morning, just before the battle of Fredericksburg, feeling pretty low-spirited, and when asked what was the matter with him, replied, ‘‘ During the night I had a presentiment that I should be killed in my first battle. While some of his comrades were sympathizing with him, he (Bart- lett) said, ‘‘ I shall go through the whole war, and come out without a scratch.” And, strange as it may seem, both were right. At Jackson, Miss., Lieutenant (then Sergeant) Bart- lett and Charles F. Stickney volunteered to dislodge a rebel picket, who was doing deadly execution with his rifle. Stickney took his position in the woods close to an oak tree, with Bartlett a few rods to the left. They had hardly taken their places before Stickney was fired upon, the bullet striking the tree near him. He at once retaliated by firing, and was iri the act of reloading when a second shot from the rebel picket struck him, passing through his body. Bartlett ran to him, and was in sea- son to hear his last words, which were ‘‘Too late!” In two minutes Stickney was dead. Bartlett was immedi- ately recalled. LIEUT. MERRILL JOHNSON. Merrill Johnson was born in Alexandria, N. H., in 1827. He received a common-school education, and was a farmer most of the time previous to the war and since. From 1849 to 1857 he was connected with newspaper work in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. He joined the Eleventh Regiment at its formation, as a mem- ber of Company B, of which company he was second sergeant. Company B was assigned as right centre of Io 146 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. the regiment in line, which brought him with the colors as left guide of the company; and he says of the color- bearers and guard,—‘‘ A brave set of fellows they were, facing the dangers at Fredericksburg with undaunted courage—our first baptism in blood.” He says still further,—‘‘ There were several daring deeds done by the members of Company B that day. One of them was this: When Colonel Harriman was ordered to take his regiment to the front, we moved forward until we reached the railroad. Uncertain which way he was ordered to take his regiment, the colonel called for a volunteer to go back to General Ferrero and get instructions. Ser- geant George M. Harvey, bringing his gun to a salute, said, ‘ Colonel, I will go back and find out.’ He marched back, got the instructions, and returned. The ground he marched over must have been covered every foot of space by canister or Minié balls in the time he was gone, as all who were there can testify to the storm of death-dealing missiles the rebels greeted us with on our advance.” Sergeant Johnson was with the regiment in its Missis- sippi campaign, and at the battle before Jackson, after the lines were formed, it was soon discovered that there were some of the enemy’s sharpshooters in the trees between the lines. Sergeant Johnson and Corporal - George E..Johnson moved up a ravine under cover of the underbrush, and, getting a good position, soon made it so warm for them that they left. Upon the return of the regiment to Kentucky he was detailed to go to Concord to assist in taking recruits to the different New Hampshire regiments. He rejoined his regiment in East Tennessee, just as it was leaving for Annapolis. At the commencement of the last campaign he was pro- moted to first sergeant. He participated in the Battle of the Wilderness, where he captured a rebel, who said to ‘R. BAXTER BROWN. 147 him, ‘‘Give me a gun and Ill fight on your side,” but he was taken to the rear. Sergeant Johnson was wounded at Spottsylvania, May 12, 1864, by a gunshot through the right thigh, but rejoined his regiment before. Petersburg, September 9, 1864, and was in the battles of Pegram Farm and Hatch- er’s Run. He was at this time senior officer of the com- pany, and, December 7, 1864, was promoted to first lieu- tenant, and assigned to his own company. He partici- pated in all the hardships of the siege of Petersburg the winter following, was in the grand charge when Peters- burg was evacuated, and was with the regiment until it was mustered out. He is now a resident of Candia, N. H. LIEUT. R. BAXTER BROWN. R. Baxter Brown was born in Caridia. He enlisted as a member of Company I, August 15, 1862, was mustered into the service September 2 following, and was imme- diately appointed first sergeant of his company. At the battle of Fredericksburg he was wounded in the right breast,. and also had his right shoulder injured. He lay on the field from one o’clock until after dark, when he was brought off and carried to Mount Pleasant hospi- tal, Washington, D. C.; thence to McClellan hospital, at Philadelphia, Penn. There he remained until August 10 following, when he was taken to Brattleborough, Vt., where he was informed that he was disabled for any fur- ther field duty ; but he rejoined his regiment at Knoxville. At the Battle of the Wilderness he became the ranking officer of his company after Captain Currier was wound- ed. He had command of Co. I on the skirmish line, which was under command of Lieutenant Morrison, at Spottsylvania, where he was wounded through the left 148 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. hand and went to the rear, assisting in taking Major Chandler, of the Ninth New Hampshire, also to the rear. He was taken to St. John’s hospital, at Annapolis, Md. He was commissioned second lieutenant July 25 fol- lowing, and rejoined his regiment again September 11, near the Weldon Railroad. At the battle. of Pegram Farm, September 30, he was slightly wounded in the back of the neck, and seriously wounded in his left thigh. He was sent to the hospital at City Point, Va. He rejoined his regiment again November 14 following, but was unable to perform any severe duty for some time, his wounds not having healed, small pieces of bone con- tinuing to come out from the wound in his hand. Decem- ber 5 following, he was commissioned first lieutenant, and was mustered as such in his own company, I. March 9, 1865, he was detailed acting adjutant, which position he continued to fill until mustered out of service with the regiment. Since the war he has been engaged in the manufacture of shoes, and his present residence is Haverhill, Mass. And he is still proud of the fact that he, too, was a member of a regiment full of determined, fighting men, the Eleventh New Hampshire. LIEUT. JEREMIAH D. LYFORD. Jeremiah D. Lyford was born in Pittsfield, June 4, 1825, the son of Dudley and Anna Lyford. He received his education in the common schools, and in the academies at Pittsfield and Strafford Ridge. For many years previous to the war he was connected with the insurance business at Manchester. Upon the forma- tion of Company C he became its first sergeant, and upon the promotion of Lieutenant Joseph B. Clark to be captain, Sergeant Lyford was promoted to a first-lieuten- JOSEPH A. MODICA. 149 ancy, receiving his commission May 1, 1863. He was soon after taken ill, sent home on sick furlough, and was never able to return to his regiment. He died at Manchester, December g, 1864, leaving a wife who died soon after, and one daughter, who became hopelessly insane, and died at the asylum at eight years of age. The members of Company C presented Lieutenant Lyford with a sword, belt, and sash, which are now in the possession of his brother, Rev. F. H. Lyford, of Con- toocook, who prizes them highly as mementos ‘‘of a dearly loved brother, an honorable man, a true and loyal citizen, a perfect gentleman, and a valiant soldier.” Lieutenant Lyford participated in the battle of Freder- icksburg. LIEUT. JOSEPH A. MODICA. Joseph A. Modica was the son of Joseph and Achsa Modica, and was born in Boston, May 6, 1840. His father removed to Henniker soon after, and in the acad- emy there Joseph received his education. He was engaged in mercantile business in Boston at the breaking out of the war.

New London, N. H., Nov. 4, 1890. SERGEANT FRANCIS H. GOODALL. Francis H. Goodall was born at Bath in -1838. He entered Dartmouth college in 1853, from which he graduated in 1857; commenced reading law with his brother-in-law, Hon. A. P. Carpenter; was admit- ted to the bar, and began its practice at Beloit, Wis., with Judge Mills. At the breaking out of the war, he enlisted in the Second Wisconsin as a three months man, and was honorably discharged at the expiration of his term of enlistment. In August, 1862, he returned to his home in New Hampshire, and enlisted as a private in Company G, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers, of which company he was commissioned first sergeant. He participated in the battle of Fredericksburg. His health failing, he received, on May 10, 1863, a furlough, and returned to his home. He did not rejoin the regi- ment, but was honorably discharged from the service May 23; 1864, because of chronic diarrhcea. He has been in the government service at Washington, D. C., since September, 1864, and for many years has been chief of a division in the Second Auditor’s office, treasury department, fulfilling his duties in a very able and faith- ful manner. In January, 1863, Sergeant Goodall was recommended I 56 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. by Lieutenant-Colonel Collins for promotion, and the fol- lowing recommendation was filed in his behalf: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This may certify that while the under- signed was in command of Co. G, 11th N. H. Vols., Francis H. Goodall was First Sergeant of the company, and, from the knowledge then gained of his character and attainments, I most cordially recommend him as honest, industrious, discreet, and absolutely reliable. As a sol- dier he was always ready to act, prompt to obey, attentive to duty, and gallant in action. At the battle of Fredericksburg, both of my lieutenants being absent from sickness, I directed Sergt. Goodall to act as lieutenant, and in that position he fought through that terrible struggle with conspicuous cool- ness, ability, and bravery. As a soldier he always won my warmest approval, and was a prominent example of sober, intelligent, courteous manhood. Always, under all circumstances, he was a perfect gentleman, [Signed] Gro. E. PINGREE. Captain Co. G, 11th N. HA. Vols. SERGEANT JAMES H. McALLISTER. Sergeant James H. McAllister was an original member of Company F, and was with the regiment until the battle at the Pegram Farm, September 30, 1864, when he was taken prisoner. The following from his pen will be read with much interest : ‘‘T remember foraging at one time in Virginia with Henry Nelson and Abraham Richards. We went toa farm-house, and were catching chickens in the yard when the woman of the house and her two daughters came to the door. They were all chewing snuff, and commenced calling us nasty blue-bellied Yankees, and said we had no regard for ‘ nothin’ and nobody.’ Nelson said ‘ Yes, we have: I have a particular regard for that old hen, and I am bound to have her ;’—and we and our chickens went into camp very happy. I was in every battle with the GAMES H. McALLISTER. 157 regiment from Fredericksburg to Pegram Farm, where I was captured. At the blowing up of the fort in front of Petersburg, Va., July 30, 1864, Captain Locke was in command of the regiment after Captain Tilton was wounded, and, it being very warm and we suffering tor water, I went to Captain Locke and told him I wanted to go for water. He said several had gone, but none had come back, and thought I had better not go. I replied that I wanted water very badly, and he said I might go. So I started with six or seven canteens. I took one from General Griffin and one from General Hartranft, and ran the gauntlet down to our old lines, got the water, and started back. The bullets were whizzing pretty lively. I had got about half way to the Crater, when some kind of a missile hit one of my canteens and knock- ed me down, but did not hurt me. ‘*So I reached the Crater all right with the water, and General Griffin said, ‘Sergeant, you ought to have a commission!’ but on the 30th of September follow- ing I was captured, and was a prisoner five months. We were driving the rebels in front of us, but they came in on our flank and captured us near a house there, some from Companies K and G, and perhaps others of our regiment. There were about 800 captured that day from different regiments. We were taken to the rear about two miles, and guarded for the night. The next morning a rebel officer came riding out to us on horseback, half drunk. As he rode up he said, ‘ You are all foreigners; I would like to see a genuine Yan- kee!’ I said, ‘I am right from hum’ [home]; and he said, ‘Yes, you are a Yankee,’ and he added that he could see the blue stripe under my chin. «We were taken to Petersburg, and were counted as we crossed a small stream upon a plank, one behind the other, and were placed in an old stone building. I was 158 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. placed up-stairs with a number of others. A window was up, and I tapped upon it, when a piece of glass from a broken pane fell down and struck the guard under the window. He immediately raised his gun and shot up through the window, but no harm was done.‘ We remained in Petersburg a few days, then were taken by rail to Richmond and placed in Libby prison. After we had been there a short time, one hundred of us at a time were marched into a room where there were three rebel officers ata desk. We fell in in two ranks, and one of the officers called ‘ Attention !’ and said ‘ All you men having money come forward and hand it over to me, with your name, company, and regiment, and when you are paroled or exchanged it will be given back to you.’ A few of the men had given up their money when he said, ‘You had all better come forward and hand over your money, for you will all be searched, and if any money is found on you you will be bucked and gagged and pun- ished.’ He again called ‘ Attention!’ and said, ‘ Prepare to open ranks to the rear : Open order—march !’ and then said, ‘ Every one of you take off your clothes and lay them in front of you!’ Then two men commenced at our right and searched our clothes, and took what money they could find. When about half through, an orderly came run- ning up-stairs and handed a paper to one of the officers, and we were ordered to put on our clothes as soon as possible, and were then hurried out of the building, put on the train very quickly, and started for that ell on earth, Salisbury, where we were turned into a stockade in which were about ten thousand men. ‘* There were several brick buildings in the enclosure, but they were occupied by citizen prisoners from Ken- tucky and East Tennessee. We had one Sibley tent for 100 men. A great many of us dug holes in the ground for shelter: I was one of that number. One comrade FAMES H. McALLISTER. 159 from Company K and one from Company G, and my- self, dug, with half of a canteen, a round hole about four feet deep, then ran off two drifts about six feet in length; and these were our quarters for the winter of 186465. We had no blankets at all. The soil was ared clay. There we slept, breathing that damp air all winter. When we had been there a few days we were divided into squads of 100 each, and one man of the number was appointed to draw rations for the squad. I had charge of one squad. The clerks would come into the garrison about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and make us fall in in two ranks; then they would count us, and give me a ticket with the number of men .in the squad. I would go to the cook-house the next morning and draw our rations. We drew meat just five times in the five months I had charge of the squad. ° ‘* Our rations were a small loaf of corn bread, the corn ground up cob and all, one loaf for every two men. At the start I used to divide the loaf between them, and if I happened to give one the least bit more than the other, I got a terrible cursing for it. But I soon fixed that. I called out the names of two men, and gave them a loaf to divide themselves. I lived on half a loaf of bread a day for about one week. I would take my oath that very many of the men were starved to death. The men soon began to get sick and die; and when the clerks came in to count the men for rations, I would have every man in the ranks if they had to be carried there; then I would lie to the clerks, and tell them so many men were gone to the rear, and so many were sick in their tents and holes, thus drawing from six to twenty extra rations daily after the first two weeks ; and these rations I divided among the three men who were in the hole with me, so the most of the time we had from three to five rations each per day. We were allowed but four sticks of cord- 160 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. wood to each 100 men per day for fire ;—and to show a hunger will bring out the brute part of men, I must say. that I have seen a poor fellow, sick and hungry, starved nearly to death on one ration per day, hovering over the fire, and have seen a. fellow who was getting two or| three rations come up and push the sick man over, and | say, ‘ Get out of the way, and give a live man a chance to warm: you will croak [die] in a day or two anyway.’ Over one half of the men put in there when I was, died | in the five months of our stay. «¢ About 400 of the men in the garrison enlisted into the rebel army while I was there, hoping to get something to | eat and perhaps get back into our lines. The rebels would - take them out when too weak to stand it, and on putting | them back again into the stockade, our own men would beat and kick them, and say, ‘Enlist in the rebel army, will you, you dirty dogs!” When we were exchanged, only about 2,000 of us were able to march the forty miles to Goldsborough; the rest were sent around via Rich- | mond. We came through the lines at Wilmingon, N.C.” CHAPTER VI. i From DECEMBER 7, 1863, TO APRIL 7, 1864—KNOXVILLE TO ANNAP- OLIsS—A Wak CORRESPONDENT’S COMMENDATION OF THE NINTH Corps—EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARIES OF LIEUT. PAIGE AND CoL. HARRIMAN—BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES OF COMPANY OFFICERS. Monday, December 7, the Eleventh, in light marching order, together with the brigade, marched for Rutledge, thirty-four miles distant. On the oth it arrived there, and remained ready for an advance or retreat until the 15th, when a retreat of twelve miles was made. The Eleventh skirmished its way into a gap near Lee’s Springs, with orders to hold it at all events. The rebels made a sharp attack the next morning, but were repulsed. The weather here was bitter cold. Water froze in the canteens by the side of the men, and the men lived on cob meal, raw corn, and cabbage-stalks. At Rutledge, Lieutenant-Colonel Collins, Captain Locke, and Lieuten- ant Davis rejoined the regiment. Colonel Collins was immediately placed in command of the brigade. The regiment remained at Lee’s Springs until January 16, 1864. The weather continuwed cold during all of this time, and the men suffered severely on picket: they were hungry, ragged, and some of them shoeless, but they bore it all bravely, and even talked of joining in the movement for reénlisting at this time. Captain Tilton joined the regiment again on December 25, and assumed command of it, relieving Captain Cogswell who had been in command nearly three months. On the 16th of January, 1863, the regiment broke camp at Lee’s Springs and marched to Strawberry Plains, where a brisk engagement occurred on the 21st. II 162 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. About midnight of this day General Ferrero, commanding the brigade, notified his men that the Fourth Corps, in their haste to get out of the enemy’s reach, had left two twelve-pound howitzers, and, thinking it would be a dis- grace to abandon them, asked his men if they would haul them to McMillan’s station, a distance of four miles. The boys readily assented, the Eleventh having one and the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts and the Second Maryland the other. It was a heavy task, the travelling being very muddy and the night exceedingly cold. Seventy-five men were required to man the ropes by which each was drawn. ‘The bridge across the creek just before reaching the station had been burned, and the guns were drawn down a steep bank and across the creek, the men wading through the cold, icy water. As soon as the deed was done, General Ferrero at his own expense had 100 pairs of shoes and six dozen overcoats distributed, as a reward for hauling the guns, to those of his men who needed them most. At the station the guns were loaded upon a car, and it was drawn three miles by hand. They were taken thence to Knoxville by horses. But the rebels were close at hand. Several hundred of their cavalry were behind us, and on the right. The Eleventh brought up the rear. Some sharp skirmishing _ was had, and the troops fell back in fine style. It was the first time the men had seen a retreat in perfect order. They retreated in echelon, and for several hours held the enemy at bay until reinforcements were met. This was the hardest day’s work the Eleventh had yet seen. It had been several days without much rest, and its severe, night’s work hauling guns, and an almost continuous marching and skirmishing all day long, told heavily upon them. For two days previous their entire rations had been four ounces of flour per man, and nothing whatever for the last twenty-four hours. IN EAST TENNESSEE. 163 On the Sunday morning following, the brigade marched through Knoxville with colors flying, bands playing, fifes screaming, and drums rolling. It went into camp about the middle of the afternoon near Erin’s station, six miles below. Monday, February 1, the regi- ment was ordered out in light marching order ; it went through Knoxville again, bivouacked for the night one mile beyond, and the next day marched back to camp again. While it was lying at this point, all the horses that could possibly be spared were sent to Kingston, forty miles, to be kept. But little forage could be had in camp. No commander lower than a brigadier was allowed a horse. There were only three teams to a bri- gade, and no ambulances. There occurred here one of those sad incidents which only a civil war can well produce. A resident, a notorious rebel and a man who had taken particular pains to point out the Union men to the rebel army when last here, was shot by some Unionmen. His neighbors, Federal soldiers, had warned this man that they would ‘« settle with him some time.” The man was hewing a piece of wood in his dooryard, when he was shot by some unknown person. He left a wife and ten children. None of the neighbors dared assist in caring for the body, and two men of the Eleventh, belonging to the provost- guard, protected the body until buried. His mother, a very old lady, tauntingly said, ‘‘ They [the Union troops] have killed my husband and stole my chickens. Now they have shot my son, but, thank God! they ha’n’t got a tear out of me yet.” A terrible state of things existed throughout East Ten- nessee. Neighbor was watching neighbor; the father, his sons; and they, in turn, watching their father. The women had the same spirit as the men. Ignorance pre- vailed. Men and women chewed tobacco, and the latter 164 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. ‘‘dipped snuff” in large quantities. Often and again were the men of the Eleventh, and of other regiments, accosted with ‘‘Gi’ me er chaw o’ terbacker?” not only from the men, but from young, good-looking girls, who were as cool and unconcerned in their request as though asking for the best thing in the world. But the rebels were making a demonstration near Strawberry Plains; and on February 15 the Eleventh broke camp in a pouring rain, and marched to near Knoxville, and camped for the night. Troops were fall- ing back upon Knoxville, and another siege began to be talked about. Every man was supplied with 140 rounds of ammunition. All was confusion, and the air filled, as usual, with all manner of conflicting reports. The next day the camp was moved north-west, to within two miles of Knoxville. On the day following, the Second Brigade, consisting of the Eleventh New Hampshire, the Thirty- fifth Massachusetts, and the Second Maryland, was has- tily inspected by an inspecting officer of General Grant's staff. The number of the three regiments reported for duty was 668 officers and men. There were at this time only ten regiments belonging to the Ninth Corps left in Tennessee. Every axe in the brigade was set to work cutting wood, and a large amount was hauled into town to be used in case of another siege. One hundred and fifty men were detailed to throw up fortifications. The next morning opened bright and pleasant. In honor of the birthday of the ‘‘ Father of his Country” the bands played Washington’s March, Hail Columbia, Star Span- gled Banner, and Yankee Doodle. The boys were in the best of spirits, and were made all the more so by the reports that Longstreet had crossed the river again, and that our front was rid of rebels. At midnight of the 24th an order was received to be ready to move at daylight in light marching order. IN EAST TENNESSEE. 165 Everything that could not be carried was to be placed under guard within the defences of the town. This was done, and at daylight the army took up its line of march, the Second Brigade having the advance, and the Eleventh leading it. After a march of twenty miles we went into camp. Generals Schofield, Parke, Stoneman, Willcox, Potter, Ferrero, and others were in the advance with the Eleventh through the day. The day before the advance was made, nine days’ rations were issued to the men, and officers as well. These were the rations: four pounds of beef, half a pound of hard bread, three pints of corn meal, and a very little coffee and sugar. On the 27th we broke camp, and, crossing the river, went into camp near Mossy creek. During that night Colonel Harri- man rejoined the regiment, and was welcomed with all manner of joyful demonstrations. The next morning the march was resumed, the Eleventh having the advance, and Company C being thrown out as an advance guard. The men really had to feel their way, and at night the regiment camped at Morristown, forty miles away, north- east of Knoxville. Everything looked dubious: the rain poured in torrents, the day was dark and dreary, the enemy was reported to be all about us; and at midnight, with nothing to eat and no shelter from the pitiless storm that was raging, an order was received to have the men under arms an hour before daybreak, to prevent a sur- prise. On the second day the regiment, being the first to enter Morristown and the last to leave, marched back to Mossy creek and camped. At this place there was a low, one-story brick church, of the Baptist faith, and upon the desk there lay a large, old-fashioned, covered Bible, upon the flyleaf of which was written ‘‘ The property of the Mossy Creek Baptist Church.” Although the building had been deprived of everything combustible, yet within its walls were that desk 166 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. and that Bible. The doors and windows were gone, but that Bible remained unmolested by both the armies which | had passed through the little village. It was kept ina little box with a cover to it. At this point, a little past noon of March 5, a sharp skirmish took place between the Second Brigade, assisted by a small force of the Third Tennessee Cavalry, and a force of 300 rebel cavalry. Sabres were crossed and clubbed muskets were used, but the rebels were beaten off, leaving several dead and wounded in our hands, -besides quite a number of prisoners. In this skirmish the following incident occurred: One man of the Tennes- see cavalry was severely wounded in his left arm by the officer in command of the rebel cavalry. They proved to be own cousins, and as they came near each other the Union man said, ‘* Don’t you know me?” * Yes,” said the rebel, ‘‘and damn you, I will kill you.” Just then a bullet went through the rebel’s heart, and he was fairly lifted from his saddle by Union bayonets. - March 13 the regiment broke camp and went back to Morristown again, where it remained until the morning | of Thursday the r7th. The night previous an order was received to ‘‘send the Ninth Corps north at once,” and a most welcome order it was to the men of the corps.. The march was taken up early Thursday morning, and we camped at Newmarket, twenty miles away, that night. By the next night as many more miles had been covered, and the regiment went into camp one mile north of Knoxville. On Monday morning, March 21, having sent the sick and disabled north via Chattanooga, the Ninth Corps commenced its famous march over the mountains into Kentucky. At Jacksboro’, forty miles’ march from Knoxville, four days’ rations were put into the haversacks of the men. The teams all returned to Knoxville, and the mountains were before us. END OF THE TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN. 167 Mountain after mountain was climbed, and for fifty miles the march was, the most of the time, made through woods, and upon its whole distance only ten houses were seen. When the line was crossed into Kentucky, the band, inspired by the same spirit as the men, played in fine style ‘‘‘A’n’t you glad you’ve got out of the wilder- ness?” and cheer after cheer echoed out through the crisp, frosty air of the morning. Point Isabel was reached on the Sunday morning following, where some more rations were secured, several sutlers being the losers thereby. At Hall’s Gap, on the 29th, some shoes and hose were issued to the men, the first time for several months. In fifteen days from Morristown, Nicholasville, Ky., distant 230 miles, was reached, with a rest of only one day. Four days of the time there were snow-storms ; there were as many more of frozen rain; and most truly glad were the men of the brigade when they got on board the cars, or things called such: anything was an improvement over the long, weary march. Sunday after- noon following, the regiment and the brigade, having marched through the streets of Cincinnati with flags fly- ing and bands playing, left at 5 :30 for Annapolis, Mary- land, via Pittsburgh and Baltimore. At Pittsburgh, on the Tuesday morning following, the men were provided with a most exeellent breakfast by the kind-hearted Christian men and women of that city, who vied with each other in doing everything possible for the soldiers passing through their busy, hospitable city. Thursday, April 7, the regiment went into camp at Annapolis, and became once more a portion of the Army of the Potomac. ' Thus ended the campaign of East Tennessee, which was in all respects the most remarkable of the campaigns in which the Eleventh bore a part. From the time the 168 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. regiment left London, Ky., until its return again into that state, it was continually on the move. Besides the siege of Knoxville, it had very many sharp skirmishes with the enemy. No bivouac was had, or camp made, without the expectation of being ordered to move before daylight. Rivers and creeks were forded, mountains were climbed, narrow gaps were fortified, picket and guard duty was constant, while on many occa- sions double duty was required. The men marched, bivouacked, and camped in the snow, mud, and rain, without shelter of any kind at night during a large por- tion of the time. The weather was freezing cold at times, with much snow upon the ground. Meanwhile the men lived upon the smallest kind of a quarter ration daily. Many days they had nothing but one ear of raw corn, dealt to them in the same manner as it was to the mules, the men even picking from the ground the stray kernels as they fell from the mules’ mouths. This corn was parched by some, by others pounded or ground as fine as it well could be, and then made into a hoe-cake and baked before the camp-fire. No clothing of any kind was received for over four months. The men were ragged, almost hatless, a good many of them without stockings, and when called out were often tracked by the blood oozing from their feet. When an animal was by any means secured and slaugh- tered, the hide was taken in charge by the commanding officer of the regiment, and moccasins were made of it for those most destitute. This was the manner of their making: a piece was cut from the hide, brought up around the foot, and fastened together with wooden thongs. The moccasin became dry after a time, but was never removed from the foot until worn out. Many a time six spoonfuls of flour was a week’s ration with one ear of corn per day, and often only one table- WORDS OF COMMENDATION. 169 spoonful of coffee was given for three or four days at a time. The people of East Tennessee as a whole were loyal, but they were exceedingly poor. Both armies had sub- sisted upon the country until nothing was left for man or beast. The younger Union men were in the Union army, and the disloyal were in the rebel army, and many a time when the men asked at a house for a little something to eat, they received for an answer, ‘‘I would be glad to give you something, but we are plumb out, and haven’t got a dust of meal in the house. We tried to make a little corn last year, but the rebels stole it all for their horses when they passed through here.” Woodbury, in his ‘‘ Ninth Army Corps,” has these good words for the men of the Tennessee campaign: Such were the circumstances amid which the movement for the redemption of the loyal people of Tennessee was consummated. The soldiers of the Ninth Corps exhibited as heroic a spirit in the endur- ance of hardships as in the achievement of victories. As no foes could appall them, so no privations could subdue. With cheerful and ever eager alacrity, they were willing to take up new duties and bear new pains in behalf of the country for which they fought and suffered. They proved to the enemy that they could not be conquered, and he was forced to be content with the loss of the important section which they had wrested from his grasp. The Ninth Corps was soon to return to the East, and participate in movements of a more startling and conspicuous character. But it may safely be recorded, that, of the important operations of 1863, the DE- LIVERANCE OF EAST TENNESSEE deserves to hold an equal rank with the victory which turned the tide of invasion from Pennsylvania, and is not far behind the magnificent triumph which gave the Mississippi once more to the Republic. The East Tennessee campaign was most truly the “Valley Forge” of the Civil War. On the 11th of December, 1863, General John G. Foster assumed command of the Department of the Ohio, 170 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. relieving General Burnside, who left Knoxville on the 14th, and reached his home in Providence, R. I., on the 23d. On his way home he was received in Cincinnati with a great ovation; and in the course of his remarks he disclaimed the honors which were given him, declaring that they ‘* belonged to his under officers and the men in the ranks.” On the 28th of January, 1864, the president approved the following resolution, which had passed both houses of congress : Resolved, That the thanks of congress be, and they hereby are, presented to Major-General Ambrose E. Burnside, and through him to the officers and men who have fought under his command, ‘for their gallantry, good conduct, and soldier-like endurance. After the enemy had retreated from Knoxville, Presi- dent Lincoln, on the 7th of December, issued a procla- ' mation, congratulatory in its character, in which he recommended that “all loyal people do, on receipt of this information, assemble at their places of worship, and render special homage and gratitude to Almighty God for this great advancement of the National Cause.” General Foster was soon relieved by Major-General | Schofield, and on January 7, 1864, General Burnside was again assigned to duty as commander of the Ninth Army Corps. A WAR CORRESPONDENT’S COMMENDATION. The following from a war correspondent of the Army of the Ohio will be read with much interest : ‘A few words of parting to the little remnant of the Ninth Corps. These iron men, who now march few and sparse as the travellers on the distant end of the Bridge of Mirrah, have driven home their good bayonets A WAR CORRESPONDENT’S COMMENDATION. 1 7I on some battle-field in every principal department of the Union but one—the Gulf. When they were not fighting, they marched—marched that they might fight again. Their reputation for both is spread throughout the entire army. ‘To give in detail an account of the battles and marches innumerable they have made, would be to com- pose a respectable history, which would be premature; but no one, certainly, will failto have heard of some field where the Ninth Corps performed a specimen of its superb work. Since its entry into this department last ‘fall, the singular uniformity of the services required of it is somewhat remarkable. Whenever an advance was to be made ‘up the country,’ through regions which might be a little perilous, the Ninth Corps has the advance, sometimes four or five miles out, and quite alone. When the regular time came to fall back, and the rebel cavalry were hurrying the rear, there the Ninth Corps must march and protect the column. Still it was but natural that this should be so, since the corps was very small, . perfectly cemented into unity, wieldy, and every man a veteran. Of late, though, the rule seems to have been varied from in consequence of their extreme paucity. ‘* The Ninth Corps has never yet received its full meed of honor for the magnificent part it bore in the defence of this place last fall. It was stationed directly in Fort Sanders, and for some distance on either side. They received almost alone the whole head and front of the fierce assault, when four hundred rebels perished under the devouring sheet of fire which issued from the muskets of these men. The other corps did their parts well where they happened to be stationed, but no formal and organ- ized assault was made upon them. The rebels, as was learned afterwards from some of those who were cap- tured, suspected the Ninth Corps was in Fort Sanders, and refused to attack them. They were only induced to 172 ' ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. do so by lying speeches of their officers, in which they declared the fort was manned by raw recruits. When they had discovered by their ruinous trial that they were deceived, their curses, of course, were infinite, and they protested with bitterness that they never would have attacked the fort, knowing it to be manned by the men they found there. ‘‘These few words in justice to brave men. The corps leaves the department with the regrets and best wishes of their comrades in arms. They are going East to be recruited to something near the just proportion of a corps. Permeated by the traditions and esprit de corps of the several regiments they join, and inspired by the example of the veterans beside them, the new recruits to the gallant corps will do as valiant service elsewhere as their military foster fathers have here.” THE SIEGE OF KNOXVILLE. (FROM DIARY OF LIEUTENANT C. C. PAIGE.) On Monday morning, November 16, the Eleventh, Regiment was called up by the long roll before day- break, and moved from camp towards the city. They formed in line of battle facing their camp, since a report said that a raid was expected from that direction. Just after dark we were ordered to change our position to the left and throw out pickets, which was done. There we remained until near night, when an order was received to join the brigade in the city. It really seemed curious when we marched into the city, so crowded with teams and troops, and the camp all aglow with camp-fires. ‘It brought forcibly to mind the counter we played at Vicks- burg, driving in and surrounding the rebels. We now THE SIEGE OF KNOXVILLE. 173 are in and surrounded by them, though it is not a matter of necessity for Burnside to stop and be besieged, for he still has a way open. : ‘*He has taken and held this place so far, and he is bound to still hold it, or be destroyed in the struggle. He tells us that he shall be taken with us and the city, if that is accomplished by the rebels. We have rifle-pits and fortifications thrown up, and have a very strong position. The first day we were ordered to detail for picket duty one captain, six sergeants, ten corporals, and one hun- dred and sixteen men, and the remainder went into the rifle-pits. The tebels are on our front and left, and seem to be making around to the right. There has been a charge on our left, but it was repulsed in good shape. General Hartranft is building a dam across a stream near our pits so as to overflow the valley in front of the pits. and thus prevent a successful charge from the enemy. ‘‘Thursday, 19th. We are really in a besieged city, and each day we expect an assault by the enemy, but it will be a bad thing for them, and it will cost them many men, whether they are successful or repulsed. I cannot see that they can take us by assault. They must cut off our supplies and starve us out first, I think ; but, as their forces are larger than ours by one half, they can injure us very much, and possibly take us by fighting. I hope and pray we may get out of this all right and save our army. ‘ ‘‘ Friday, 20th. We changed our position across Gay street on the heights beyond and occupied some pits. To- day we worked improving and strengthening them, and really have a very formidable position. Were the whole line as strong and as hard of access as that we occupy, one man in the pit could hold it against five to eight men. It is with difficulty that a man can climb the hill in our front without any one to oppose him. Then add to this 174 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. difficulty a pond of water from two to six feet in depth at its base, and we surely have a strong position, but we may be dislodged yet. The will and spirits of the men of the Eleventh are good and determined, and I know that the rest of our brigade is the same. We are expect- ing some hard fighting. «‘Sunday, 22. All seems very quiet. A little while before dark the enemy threw a few shells into one of our forts, but they were bad shots. The day has been fine, and it does not seem, sometimes, that a revengeful enemy is lying so near waiting for his prey; but so itis. Time is the great revelator to man, and I wait patiently, and without fear, the result. ‘“*Monday, 23. The Second Maryland and the Forty- eighth Pennsylvania were driven in this evening, and made a bad thing of it, as the rebels gained a good posi- tion and we lost one man in Company B, and two others in our brigade. A number of buildings were burned to prevent the rebels from occupying them. The sight from our position was really splendid. A_ beautiful moon looked down upon us, and the burning buildings lighted up the country finely, and added to this and the picket firing was the burning of a building in which were a large number of rebel shells, which exploded and made the scene grand. ‘© Tuesday, November 24. The Eleventh New Hamp- shire, the Twenty-first Massachusetts, and the Forty- eighth Pennsylvania regiments went out, soon after light this morning, and charged on the rebel pickets, and drove them back to their old position. Three men were killed in our brigade—one of them was in Company B, our regiment; and one of our men was wounded—Corporal Whipple of Company C. The morning was foggy, so quite favorable for our movements. The enemy seem to have a camp not more than one mile from our front. We THE SIEGE OF KNOXVILLE. 175 cannot anticipate their movements, but are constantly on the lookout for an attack. Wednesday, 25. Sent on picket this morning ninety- six men, one lieutenant, one captain—a very heavy detail. There were then left in camp in the pits only one acting lieutenant and the acting adjutant. ‘‘Thursday, 26. Thanksgiving Day in New Hamp- shire, and also in the states generally, on account of the proclamation of the president. It has been rather quiet to-day here in this besieged city, and we soldiers are-in good spirits, hardly thinking that we are bound for Rich- mond under guard. ‘Friday, 27. The enemy have been very still for two or three days past, and have not fired a cannon for that length of time—ominous of some impending danger or evil. «Saturday, 28. Quiet nearly all day, and until nearly midnight ; then the rebels commenced to be bold, and advanced in skirmish line, aeyencine their position a good distance. “Sunday, 29. Our regiment, with the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania and the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts, went to the front and drove back the rebel lines, and occupied the old ground in front of our brigade. While we were out, the rebels made an assault on Fort Sanders to the left of our division, and were handsomely repulsed, los- ing I,000 men in prisoners, wounded, and killed. The cannonading was fierce and heavy. Benjamin’s battery killed and wounded them terribly as they advanced upon the fort. I went up to the fort to-day, and it was a ter- rible sight. Some hundreds were lying in front of it dead, wounded, and dying. There is an armistice to-day until 5 p.m. I talked with some of the rebel soldiers. They treat us with respect, and appear well. They are Georgia troops. They must feel exasperated towards 176 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. | us for the fearful slaughter this morning, but it is their fault. ‘‘Monday, 30. Last day of autumn, and with the Ninth and the Twenty-third corps we are still in this besieged city, not knowing whither our destination ; but wherever , it may be, we are in the best of spirits, and ready to fight, or not just as the rebels shall say. Very quiet | to-day after the armistice of yesterday. ‘«*Tuesday, December 1. But very little firing on either side to-day. We have very cheering news. A circular was furnished from head-quarters to our regi- | ment stating the following facts: ‘Information has been received at these head-quarters that General Grant has driven the enemy, Bragg, from Lookout Mountain and | Missionary Ridge; and that they are in full retreat for Dalton, Ga. Grant attacked Bragg, and whipped him severely, though General Sherman was repulsed on the left, with a loss of 300 killed and 2,500 wounded. But Grant took 6,000 prisoners and 50 pieces of artillery. Bragg is effectually broken up, and our army is follow- ing.’ Also that reinforcements are within forty miles of us. This is all very cheering, and each regiment in our lines gave nine hearty cheers for the great success of , our arms. We are expecting another attack, perhaps to-night. The generals are very particular to have all keep a good watch. We are constantly under excite- | ment and getting but little sleep,—‘ sleeping with one eye open.’ The rebels are up to something, we don’t: know what. ‘¢Wednesday, December 2. We are in the besieged | city still, but it does not seem that we are in such a place though. It is very quiet in the day-time, but some nights we have considerable excitement. The rebels will attempt a charge to advance their lines, and our troops are routed at once. The sight would be ludicrous, could THE EAST TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN. 1747 it be portrayed by some artist for the Northern public. The sentinels arouse the men in the pits, and the officers, who are mostly together. In a moment they are awake. Almost every night we are aroused once or more, and there is a general scrabbling after boots, sword-belts, coats, and hats, and I never wish to be in such a place again. Our food is getting scarce, and not of a very palatable character. We have pretty good rations of meat,—beef and fresh pork,—with the poorest kind of Indian meal made into mush, and generally no molasses or sugar to eat with it;—this is the extent of our rations nowadays. Were it not that the boys forage cattle and hogs, and even some flour and bread, near the picket line, they would be very short indeed. But somehow Providence provides thus far, and I think will, so that we shall escape falling into the hands of the rebels. The rebels are up to something more, but I cannot tell what itis. They are either leav- ing, or massing their forces on some apparently weak point of our line for another attack. ‘“«Thursday, December 3. A comparatively quiet day, and not much picket firing ; but towards night our guns opened on a train, or troops moving as we supposed, and fired quite briskly. The fort in the centre of our regiment is nearly completed, and is a formidable work. There are five embrasures, but only three guns yet. I think the enemy cannot take it. The Eleventh are all ready for a brush, but fear we shall not get it in our works,—shall have to go abroad for sport. General Sherman is reported across the river with 6,000 cavalry, and his infantry are fifteen miles away. I only hope he will get here in time to cut off the enemy, and replay the game on him that he has been trying so unscrupu- lously on us. _ «Friday, December 4. We sent the usual number of 12 178 . ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. men on picket to-day, and we have the good and very pleasing feeling that the rebels are about leaving. They have concluded that the Yankees cannot go along to Richmond with them, so they have decided to leave us with the compliment they paid us at Fort Sanders. To all appearances the rebels have commenced a retreat toward Richmond, though they are keeping up a bold front. They fired their last gun just before evening, and it seemed like a parting salute. Our batteries opened on their moving column and trains, and we kept our usual watch in camp and on the picket line. Report says that Sherman has arrived with 1,600 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. ‘‘Saturday, December 5. We wake and find the ‘Johnnie rebs’ nearly all gone. Our pickets had orders to advance and ascertain if the rebel pickets still occupied the pits, and found them deserted; they immediately fol- lowed through the woods where their camp was, and picked up a large number of rebel soldiers. It is esti- mated that 1,000 were taken to-day. Our brigade and the First Brigade were sent out to reconnoitre and scour the woods and country. We went five miles—to the Gap, so called—without finding one rebel soldier. The cavalry were in advance of us. We returned to camp about 2 p.m. We have now passed through one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the sieges the Union army has endured, one in which the besieged party has main- tained itself in the most gallant and worthy manner. Our army of not more than 12,000 men has stretched itself out some six miles, as a line of defence against an army of 30,000 of the most effective of the whole rebel army—Longstreet’s. That army has surround- ed us twenty days, and has not at any time cut off our communication wholly, but has kept us from foraging © much. In this time the enemy have made a number A CONCISE DESCRIPTION. 179 of charges on our skirmish line, which is out from our defences from two thirds to three fourths of a mile, and hdve driven back our pickets a few times, but they have been driven back in turn. In all, their loss must have been some 3,000 men, while we have not lost one tenth part of that number—a glorious affair for us! It has been very wearing and tedious for the men. Out of 280 men of our regiment who carry guns, we have sent from 80 to 100 on picket daily, besides 40 who have been stationed in buildings as sharpshooters. This num- ber of men generally went on picket every other day (and sometimes oftener), having twenty-four hours for sleep and rest; and even when in camp they were obliged to work on the fortifications all day or all night, and then lie down in the damp pits to sleep, to be waked often by the sentinels placed each night to arouse the men in case of an attack or a charge upon the picket line. Seldom have we lain the whole night. It has been the most wearing time this army has ever been exposed to.” A CONCISE DESCRIPTION. The following extract from Colonel Harriman’s diary gives one a good idea of the country and its inhabitants on the march from Kentucky to Tennessee, and vice versa: ‘‘Saturday, February 27. Arrived here [Knoxville] to-day worn and jaded. We have passed through the most ungodly country on earth, and the roads that we have travelled are unfit to lead a dog through—rocks, ledges, logs, bogs, sloughs, stumps, and mountains that would shame the Alps. Through this vast extent of country, in both Kentucky and Tennessee, there are but very few settlements. The few people found there are very poor 180 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. and very ignorant. They live mostly in log huts without a pane of glass, and with no means of admitting light except through the door. They have no books and take no papers. Large numbers of them are ignorant even of the alphabet. They enjoy no advantages. Their land is poor, and they live mainly on corn and bacon. They dress very poorly, men and women both wearing coarse clothes of home manufacture and butternut color, having been dyed with oil-nut tree bark. The women wear hoods on their heads all the time in the winter season, even in the house.” THE EAST TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN. (FROM DIARY OF LIEUT. C. C. PAIGE.) ‘Jan. 18, 1864. Our fall and winter campaign in some respects is more severe than any we have before expe- rienced: exposures have been great, and rations the smallest we ever had. On the march to Rutledge after the siege of Knoxville, we had from one half to one pint of meal per day, and a little pork. Such rations as these we lived upon for some weeks, and many days we got nothing. One Sabbath, after waiting all day for a pint of flour, we drew two ears of corn per man, and a few days later, on the return march to Knoxville, all the bread-stuff we drew was half a pint of flour for five days. Rutledge is thirty-eight miles from Knoxville and near the Holston river. From there we fell back some twelve miles, and camped near Lee’s Springs, where we remained four weeks; then marched to Straw- berry Plains, and camped three fourths of a mile from the river, which supplied us with water. The mud was very deep. We remained there six days, then broke camp and marched two miles toward Knoxville; then our THE EAST TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN. 181 -brigade drew two guns more than three miles, they having been left behind by the battery of the Fourth Corps because their horses had given out. At daybreak we resumed our retreat, skirmishing as we fell back, and forming one line of battle after another. The manceuvring of the Ninth Corps was said to have been very nice, by those in our rear who witnessed it. We fell back within three miles of Knoxville and formed a line of battle, but the rebels did not seem disposed to advance any farther. ‘‘Sabbath morning we broke camp and marched through Knoxville, and camped six miles beyond, at a station on the railroad. We feel that our old Granite State has reason to be proud of her sons who have enlisted under the colors of the Eleventh, and who have shown themselves so manly and noble in front of the enemy. We know that we have many good, friendly hearts there, who would at any time say, ‘Welcome! thrice welcome to our homes of peace and union.’ “February 1. We lay in camp until 4 :30 o’clock this morning, when we received orders to march, and went on through Knoxville, crossed the Holston on the pontoon bridge, and went into camp several miles beyond. The last two miles was very muddy, rough, and slippery. ‘‘February 2. Marched back to our old camp again, much vexed to think we had taken all of our luggage with us when the intention was to return as soon as the enemy were dispersed ; but we submit, and call it all right for the military. “‘February 24. Broke camp, and started for the rebels. We went to and beyond Strawberry Plains, making a march of twenty miles. It was very hard for all. The first ten miles we did not have ten minutes’ rest. Our knapsacks were large and heavy, but we travelled very fast. I have very little faith in running 182 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. after the rebels, and then in a few days running back again. I.think it does not pay, especially when the army. is on as short rations as it has been for a few months, and when a retreat is made in a few days and a large amount of stores and wagons destroyed. Major-General Schofield | is with the expedition. This is the first time he has been with us, as he has but recently taken command of this Department. Major-General Parke is also with us com- manding our corps. The Twenty-third Corps is on the road also, with Major-General Stoneman in command of it. The rebels have not done much damage to the rail- road from Knoxville to the Plains, but they destroyed their pontoon bridge before we could get here. ‘February 25. Preparations are being made to put the troops across the river, and to get up rations from Knoxville. We have stored our knapsacks at the Plains, | with everything in them except blankets and tent-pins. By some, coats have been retained in place of blank- ets. We are going in light marching order. ‘‘February 27. Crossed the. river this morning, and camped to-night. ‘‘February 28. Came to Mossy creek, thirteen miles, and camped. ‘*February 29. Marched fourteen miles in the mud and rain to-day to Morristown. ‘‘March 1. A very rainy day. The rebels had a large force here, and have left some good winter quarters. We are under orders to march in the morning. ‘«March 2. Marched back to Mossy creek to-day, and pitched tents. Just as we had turned in, orders came to fallin and stack arms. The night was cold and frosty. ‘‘March 4. In camp at Mossy creek. The rebels made a dash upon a Tennessee regiment, and drove them in three miles, and but for our pickets they would have been captured. SOHN K. CILLEY. 183 ‘‘Monday, 7th. Colonel Harriman returned to the regiment with 100 recruits. He was received with great enthusiasm, as we were all glad to see him. ‘March 12. Broke camp, and marched towards Morristown again. ‘*March 13. Reached Morristown, where we had squad, company, and battalion drill, and dress-parade. ‘*March, 16. Broke camp at 6 a.m. Most gladly do we leave these scenes of toil and suffering, for we are told that we are going North again. We hail the order with hilarious shouts expressive of our feelings. Marched twenty miles to Newmarket. ‘‘March roth we reached Knoxville, and camped just ‘beyond, and on the 21st started for the North over the mountains. On the 22d, we moved all day. Marched at daylight, crossed the Clinch river, and camped within four miles of Jacksboro’. On the 23d, we drew four days’ rations at Jacksboro’, and marched eighteen miles, and as many miles for each of the following two days. On Sunday, 27th, we marched at daylight, and passed through Burnside Point, where we halted four hours. Here the boys ‘ cleaned out’ a number of sutlers. Crossed the Cumberland river, passed through Somerset, and camped, having made eighteen miles.” BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES. MAJOR JOHN K. CILLEY. John Kelly Cilley was the son of Joseph L. and Lavina B. (Kelly) Cilley, a grandson of General Joseph Cilley, who commanded the First New Hampshire Infantry in the Continental Army.

On April 7, 1864, he was commissioned captain and assistant quartermaster of volunteers by President Lincoln, and was assigned to First Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps, on the staff of General Robert B. Potter. Upon the consolidation of the batteries of the Ninth Corps, forming an artillery brigade, he organized its quartermaster department. Upon the formation of the Third Division, Ninth Army Corps, in the fall of 1864, Major-General Hartranft commanding, he was assigned as its chief quartermaster, receiving, under act of July 4, 1864, temporary rank and pay of major and quarter- master. He served in this capacity until the war closed, when, by order of the war department, he was assigned to the rendezvous at Rochester, N. Y., in July, 1865 ; thence to Camp Reynolds, near Pittsburgh, Pa., where he re- mained under Colonel Cross, department quartermaster- general, until January, 1866, when he was mustered out of the service. He was brevetted major U. S. volunteers, with rank from March 13, 1865, and was specially men- tioned in the report of the quartermaster-general for that year. His term of service was three and a half years, during which time he received but two furloughs, one of thirty and one of twenty days. From the crossing of the Rapidan to the crossing of the James and the establish- ment of the Union lines in front of Petersburg, he had charge of all the transportation of the Ninth Army Corps at the front, acting under orders of the camp com- mander. - WILLIAM R. PATTEN. 185 He commenced business in New York city in March, 1867, where he still resides. In 1868 he married Helen Louise Hutchins, sister of Lieutenant Arthur E. Hutch- ins, killed at the Wilderness, May 5, 1864. CAPT. WILLIAM R. PATTEN. William R. Patten, son of Deacon Francis and Rebecca (Wright) Patten, was born in Candia, August 30, 1837. He fitted for college at Pembroke and Thetford (Vt.) academies, graduated at Dart- mouth in 1861, and taught the Chester academy one year. In the raising of the Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers he bore a conspicuous part, and September 4, 1862, was commissioned captain of Company I. He followed the fortunes of the regiment, sharing its dangers and hardships the larger portion of the time until April 20, 1864, when by reason ofa serious illness he was honorably discharged from the service. He returned to his home, and, partially regaining his health, read law in the office of Judge Cross, at Manchester. He was admitted to the bar in 1867, and commenced its practice in that city. In 1866~’67 he was assistant clerk in the New Hampshire house of representatives, and its clerk in 1868-69, and was a member of the same body as one of the representatives from Manchester in 1878~’79, at which time he was on the judiciary committee—one of the most influential men in the house.’ His biographer says of him as a legislator, ‘‘ He was a ready debater and well posted parliamentarian, and ranked as a leader of the house.” He was also-solicitor for the city of Manchester for some time, and assistant adjutant-general with the rank of lieutenant-colonel on the staff of Colonel Patterson, and judge-advocate on the 186 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. staff of General Clough, commander of the entire state militia. He was also a member of the city council of Manchester, and presided over its deliberations. He was commander of the G. A. R. department in New Hamp- shire in 1868, and took an active part in placing that order upon a permanent foundation in this state. From his position in so many public offices he had a very extensive acquaintance throughout the state, and made many warm friends by his genial, social bearing; and all deeply sympathized with him and his'immediate fam- ily in the lingering, wasting disease which came upon him in the prime of life, causing his death in the insane asylum at Concord. He was buried with appropriate honors. CAPT. NATHANIEL LOW, Jr. Nathaniel Low, Jr., was born in Dover, August 29, 1838; received his education in the schools of that city, and in 1861 was appointed post-master there, which position he resigned to enter the service. Through his efforts largely Company K was raised, of which he was commissioned captain September 4, 1862. He resigned his commission October 11, 1862, in just one month after the regiment left the state, and returned to Dover; but in a short time was re-commissioned as captain of Com- pany K, and returned to the regiment. He participated in the Mississippi campaign, and during the winter of 1863-64 was on duty in Kentucky, as detailed some- what in Comrade Wilkinson’s paper. While the regi- ment was at Annapolis, Captain Low was promoted to captain and assistant quartermaster, United States: vol- unteers, and received his commission June 16, 1864. He was assigned to the Naval Brigade as chief quarter- BENJAMIN F.

From there he went to City Point, broke up that depot, and furnished transportation for the army homeward bound. Captain Low was married while the Eleventh Regi- ment lay in camp at Concord; and, bringing his bride to the city, they were tendered a serenade. After the war he was for ten years a member of the firm of Low Brothers (a brother having for many years been a resi- dent of Memphis) at Memphis, Tenn., cotton brokers ‘and commission merchants. His health breaking down, he returned to Dover, and for many years he was a resi- dent of New Hampton, where he died May 1, 1890. LIEUT. BENJAMIN F. RACKLEY. Benj. F.

He was commissary-general on Governor Head’s staff, and was a member of the legislature from Dover in 1879~80. He was at one time eminent commander of St. Paul Commandery, of Dover, under whose direction he was buried. He was also prominent in Grand Army of the Republic circles. 188 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. CAPT. J. CHARLES CURRIER. J. Charles Currier was born in Auburn, in 1842. He entered Pinkerton academy at the age of ten years, from which he graduated at the age of seventeen. He then took up his residence in Iowa until 1861, when he returned to his home in this state. He enlisted in Chester as a member of the company raised by Cap- tain Patten, and known as Company I. September 4, 1862, he was commissioned second lieutenant of that company. He followed its fortunes until May 6, 1864, when he was severely wounded in the face. He was taken to the field hospital, thence to Washington, and home. He was promoted to first lieutenant May 11, 1864, and to the rank of captain June 28, 1864. He returned to the regiment September 6 following, and was assigned to the command of Company A. In the battle at Poplar Spring church, Va., on September 30, 1864, while in the act of picking up a gun that had just been dropped by some comrade who was disabled, he was again wounded in the face, and his jaw completely shattered. He had crawled half a mile when he was met by some comrades with a stretcher, and carried to the field hospital, from there to Washington, and home again. He was honorably discharged from the service January 18, 1865. Captain Currier says,—‘‘On the 6th [at the Wilder- ness] a little after noon, Dick Hutchins rode up to where we were lying and dismounted, remaining a short time. We parted,—and soon after he was killed. After we had parted he came back, embraced me, and said, ‘Currier, I feel very blue. Good-bye, old boy.’ Was ita premonition of death, do you think? I never saw him again.” Captain Currier was a clerk in the treasury depart- HENRY W. TWOMBLY. 189 ment at Washington after his discharge, and in 1867 was appointed second lieutenant in the Twenty-first Infantry, United States Army. Went to California with his regiment in 1869, where he has since resided. He resigned his commission in 1870, and in 1874 moved upon a ranch in San Luis, Obispo county, which he still owns. It contains 900 acres, and on it he raises cattle and horses. In May, 1890, he received the appointment of pension agent for the Pacific coast with head-quarters at San Francisco, where he is now residing, fulfilling his duties with promptness and fidelity, and having the respect of all with whom he comes in contact. CAPTAIN SAMUEL CARR. Samuel Carr was a resident of New London when the Eleventh Regiment was recruited, in which he was com- missioned captain of Company F., September 4, 1862. He was with the regiment at the battle of Fredericksburg, Va., December 13, 1862, and was discharged from the service for disability, January 29, 1863. He had been a resident of New London many years, and was an officer in the state militia. He now resides in San Francisco, and is prominent in G. A. R. matters upon the Pacific coast. LIEUTENANT HENRY W. TWOMBLY. Henry W. Twombly was born in Dover, December 8, 1835, and received his education in the schools of that city, after which he became proficient as a carriage painter. When Company K was formed, he was selected as second lieutenant, and received his commission as such Sept. 4, 1862. He participated in the battle of 190 ELE VEN: TH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Fredericksburg, went over to Kentucky with the regi- ment in the spring of 1863, but by reason of ill health he was unable to continue in the service. He resigned his commission July 19, 1863, and was honorably dis- charged from the service. He has been a resident of Dover since he left the service, and is a dealer in musical goods. CAPTAIN IRA G. WILKINS. Ira G. Wilkins was born at Mont Vernon, May 26, 1838, and was educated in the common schools and academy of his native place. The breaking out of the war found him employed as a clerk and book-keeper in Manchester. August 9, 1862, he enlisted in the quota of Manchester, and, September 10 following, was mustered into the United States service in Company C, Eleventh Regiment. He followed the fortunes of the regiment, participating in -its marches, battles, and sieges, until January 15, 1864. In East Tennessee he was detailed as clerk at brigade head- quarters by order of Lieutenant-Colonel Moses N. Col- lins, commanding the brigade, and was also detailed for the same position at-Annapolis, Md., on April 22, 1864, | by Colonel S. G. Griffin, commanding the brigade. On the 11th of May, 1864, he was commissioned second lieutenant by the governor of New Hampshire, and on May 31 following he was mustered as second lieutenant of Company C, and on the same day was detailed for temporary duty at brigade head-quarters as acting assist- ant adjutant-general. On the 5th of December, 1864, he was again promoted, and on the roth of the same month he was mustered as first lieutenant and assigned to Com- pany G. Lieutenant Wilkins continued on detatched | service at head-quarters of the brigade until the close of L. NEWELL SAWYER. Igl the war, and was then commissioned by the president as captain by brevet, for gallant and meritorious conduct in the assault before Petersburg, Va., April 2, 1865, at which time he received a slight flesh wound in the left leg, which disabled him for several weeks. He was mustered out of the service with the regiment June 4, 1865. Since the war he has been engaged principally as a clerk and bookkeeper, and since 1873 he has been em- ployed as such by the firm of Messrs. Parker & Co., manufacturers of furniture, in Fitchburg, Mass., where he now resides. Lieutenant Wilkins’s duties at head- quarters were to promulgate and keep a record of the orders issued by the commanding officer of the brigade for its guidance and information, all of which, as written out by him, were models of brevity and neatness. CAPTAIN L. NEWELL SAWYER. L. Newell Sawyer was born in Dover, February 25, 1842, and received his education at Friends college, Providence, R. I. At the breaking out of the war he was connected with the American Screw Co., at Provi- dence.

(BY LIEUTENANT-ADJUTANT W. A. NASON,! COMPANY F.) On the 6th of August, 1863, after participating in the campaign which culminated in the surrender of Vicks- burg and the capture of the city of Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, the regiment which I had the honor of serving with, the Eleventh New Hampshire, Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps, was finally furnished with transportation from the malarial swamps adjacent to the Yazoo river northerly to our old place in the Department of the Ohio. Proceeding slowly on account of low water, we finally arrived at Cincin- nati on the 14th, our numbers sadly depleted by expos- ure and the trying duties attending the campaign. We remained at Covington, Ky., until the latter part of August, and went thence by rail to Nicholasville, march- ing out from there to ‘‘Camp Park,” a few miles away. On the gth of September we were on the road again, and, after a few easy marches, reached London, Ky., on the 16th of September, under orders to await the mak- ing up of a train of wagons containing quartermasters’ supplies, and to escort it to Knoxville vz@ Cumberland 1This chapter, from the pen of Lieutenant W. A. Nason, of Company F, was read before a Veterans’ Association, in Providence, during the winter of 1889~’90, and was kindly furnished by him for the history of the regiment of which he was such an honored member. It is a most valuable contribution to the men of the Eleventh Regiment. 13 194 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Gap. The balance of our army corps had already pre- ceded us, and gone to East Tennessee, crossing the mountains through gaps farther north. Our duties at London were not arduous, merely con- sisting of light details for guard and picket duty. Our rations, for the first time in months, were very good and quite abundant, and the farmers near us were ready and willing to sell any of their products at a fair price. Game of some kinds was quite plenty, especially gray squirrels, which the boys brought in in large numbers. Besides, there was almost every day some new incident transpiring, and this relieved the monotony of camp-life, and kept the boys in good spirits. All had improved much in health, and began to appear like themselves again. Some, however, still suffered from the effects of the Vicksburg campaign. Most noteworthy of all was the pleasure we had in meeting two staunch Unionists of East Tennessee, like the Hon. Horace Maynard, and William.G. Brownlow better known as ‘‘ Parson,” editor of the Knoxville Whig and Rebel Ventilator. These men had suffered every indignity which the rebels could shower upon them, and probably would have forfeited their lives had not the Union troops taken possession of and held that part of the state. The name of ‘‘Parson” Brownlow’s paper was no misnomer, but thoroughly indicative of its char- acter. In looking over an old copy printed during the fall of this year (63), I find that he closes one of his editorials as follows : ‘‘They have delighted in expres- sions of contempt for the Great Ruler of the Universe from the opening of this struggle. But their blasphemy has been in keeping with their treason, and with their perjury in starting the ball. These lines are appropriate in the rebel parts, and in their Sabbath and family wor- ships: SERVICE IN KENTUCKY. I95 ‘Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Let the repenting rebels live. Are not thy mercies large and free? May not the rebels trust in thee? Should sudden vengeance seize our breath, We must pronounce thee just in death, And, if our souls were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well.’” These two*men passed the night at a small hotel near our camp, and in the morning, as they were about start- ing on their journey towards Knoxville, some of us called around to see them off. As they were taking their departure, the ‘‘ Parson” advised us not to go far from camp unless in small bodies of three or four, because rebel bush-whackers were quite plenty, and would not hesitate to waylay any of us if opportunity presented : and, should we by chance come in contact with and secure one of these miscreants, that we had better not attempt to take him into camp, but dispose of him on the way, saving all further trouble. This incident is also related: During our stay here, some of our men discovered a small distillery located on a branch or creek among the hills, where they could obtain all the whiskey they desired. The proprietor told some ofthe men that he wanted to obtain another horse, and, if they could help him to one, he would remunerate them in whiskey. Some of our men would not stop to inquire about the ownership of a chicken, or anything of that kind, but we had no first-class horse-thieves among our number. Nevertheless they were ready to put up a little job on the moonshiner, and teach him a lesson. They at first hesitated on account of the danger attending, and the punishment sure to follow if detected, but finally seemed to agree to the proposition, and at once made plans to carry it into execution. A few of 196 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. them called upon him and found where his own horse was stabled, but they also found that he kept a vicious looking dog about the place. They told him that, to prevent any noise if they succeeded in getting a horse from the corral, which would get all into trouble if dis- covered, the dog must be removed until the affair was over. To this he assented, and he was accordingly soon after waited upon and notified that the new horse would be delivered on that night. Early in the evening a little detachment visited his house, and kept him busy while two or three men made their way to the shed where his own horse was kept. Leading him into the woods a short distance, they gave his mane and tail a regular army cut, and also clipped the hair on his left fore shoulder, making quite a respectable looking “U.S.” Then, covering the old nag with an old army blanket, they led it to the house very quietly, and delivered it according to agreement. After a slight examination in the dark the animal was taken away to be secreted, and the whiskey received in payment was stored in canteens and camp-pails—the boys at once returning to their quar- ters. No more visits were made by those men to the dis- tillery, but in a day or two the distiller came around, | looking, not for his own horse, but for pay for the whis- key he had given in payment therefor. This was not forthcoming, but no complaint was made concerning the trade, as he was afraid of trouble on his own part. The train was to start on the 16th of October, and our little regiment, now recruited to about 300 men, was ordered forward under command of Captain L. W. Cogswell. We were ready at the hour designated, and started on a long and tiresome march in the midst of a heavy rain. The country through which we passed was much broken, and very thinly settled. Spurs of high hills, or mountains, seemed always in our path, while SERVICE IN TENNESSEE. 197 the very rough and narrow roads made our progress exceedingly slow. . On the 18th we passed through the little town of Bar- boursville, and on the roth hurried forward towards Cumberland ford. Just before we arrived at the ford an alarm was given by a messenger who had overtaken us, and who said that a body of rebels had appeared on our left flank and was about to attack the train. The left wing of the regiment was ordered back to repel any attack that might be made, but, after a march to the rear of a few miles, we were happy to find that the alarm was false. We continued on our way unmolested, and, cross- ing the river, went into camp to await the arrival of the train. While resting here, a citizen visited us who pointed out a spot where were buried some Union men who had been captured by some gang, probably of Kirby Smith’s command, that had been raiding in Kentucky the year before. While the rebel troops were resting on nearly the same ground we occupied, a drum-head court-mar- .tial was held, and those men had been held as spies and hung for their loyalty. They were hastily buried, for bleaching bones could be seen protruding through their scant covering of earth. We broke camp early on the morning of the 21st, and made an attempt to reach Cumberland Gap, but a furi- ous mountain storm having set in, the road was worse than ever, and nearly impassable ; some were obliged to halt four or five miles from our objective point. The road up the mountain-side apparently had been blocked by immense boulders and logs, for the purpose of ob- structing the passage of any troops from Kentucky. These had been only partially removed, and it was still nearly impossible for the animals of the train to pull their wagons through. It was only accomplished by 198 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. doubling teams, and by the troops lifting the wagons in some places. ‘ On the 22d we reached the Gap, and reported to the commandant at that post. This place naturally was one of the strongest positions the rebels ever held, was well fortified and well armed, and garrisoned by 2,000 Georgia troops. But as soon as Burnside got into Knox- ville he sent out a force that covered their only means of escape, so the commander very prudently surrendered. We made only a short stay there, for orders were received to leave the train, which was now safe, and march for Knoxville as fast as possible. On the 25th we were at Clinch river, and ferried ourselves, without accident, across the stream—then very high from recent rains—in a leaky old flat-boat. On the 28th we arrived at Knox- ville, having been on the march about twelve days, more than half of the time having been stormy, and the roads, therefore, almost impassable. We had very little trans- portation of our own, had lived on short rations, had performed regular guard and picket duty, had assisted the train through the Gap, and had left only two or three men out of the regiment behind us. We were at once ordered into camp a little out of the city, at North Knox- ville, and were told to fix up our quarters and make them as comfortable as possible. We did so, and in a few days had everything well arranged, considering our lim- ited means. The principal part of our corps was at, or near, Loudon, about 30 miles below on the Holston river, watching Longstreet; and Burnside, with less than one half the available force of the rebel leader, had a very long and rough line of communication to keep open. Our camp at North Knoxville was less than a mile from the city. This little settlement was composed principally of Northern mechanics, who had been called there to work in the railroad-shops, and in an iron foundry or BESIEGED AT KNOXVILLE. I99 furnace, built and owned by Northern men who had invested money there, and were doing much towards developing the mines in the immediate vicinity. We remained in this camp until the morning of the 16th of November, when, before daylight, the long roll called us out, and we were ordered to pack up and march at once. We promptly formed line, and a few minutes later were on the road to the south of our old camp, and a line of battle was formed to hold that approach to the city against the possible advance of the enemy. With a strong skirmish line in advance we remained at this point until late in the afternoon, when we moved forward to a gap which we took possession of as more defendable in case of an attack than the former position. All day brisk firing had been heard, and reports of Longstreet’s attack on our forces in the vicinity of Lenoir’s were brought us by a messenger from the city. We remained in this position during that night and the day following, where we could hear the cannonading going on more distinctly. We judged from the heavy firing that a brisk engagement was in progress, and extending nearer to us. Early in the day we were told that the corps trains had begun to arrive in Knoxville, followed in the afternoon by the troops, and with Longstreet not far in the rear. We were called in from our position on the night of the 17th, and, retiring to the city, resumed our place in the brigade. The trains were packed, camps for troops designated, lines of defence established in all directions, our commu- nications with the outer world cut off, and preparations for a siege begun. The lines were quite irregular, but well chosen. The First Division of our corps held that part beginning on the Holston river to the south-west of the city, and extending around on the northerly side a short distance east of Fort 200 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Sanders. The Second Division reached thence to the | east of, and beyond, the railroad buildings, while the remainder of the line, returning to the river again, was held by the Twenty-third Army Corps. Our position. as a regiment was on the left of the Second Brigade, on an eminence which overlooked North Knoxville and the rail- road buildings, and also our lines on the left. Our regi- mental right rested near Fort Comstock., The location was well adapted for defence. It was on the estate of a Mr. Richardson, a native of a town that many of my - company enlisted from (Springfield), some of them being a his former school-mates. The beautiful yard in front of his house was totally ruined to give place to Fort Com- | stock, and the noble shade-trees, on the slope running down to the creek, were slashed, the trimmed tops form- | ing an abattis for our protection that would be nearly impassable to any body of troops. The abutments of the little bridge that spanned the creek at the foot of the slope - also served as abutments for some very respectable dams which we built, thus holding back the water, and flood- | ing quite a large territory which the enemy would be obliged to cross if they should make an attack on our front. From fort to fort, or from battery to battery, we had also thrown out excellent lines of rifle-pits for the infantry. It was somewhat surprising to see how soon they were completed, for although half of the men were | constantly on the picket line, or in some of the buildings we used to try and save, and though the men who came off duty at night were suffered to get some rest, yet there were constant details from those just relieved, and | have known all, except a thin line in the trenches, to be obliged to get their night’s rest while using spade or pick in strengthening some line of works. Crossing the street, a short distance to the right of Fort Comstock, was Battery Wiltson, occupied, I think, by the Fifteenth Indiana battery | BESIEGED AT KNOXVILLE. 201 of rifled guns. The ground, for some distance to the rear of this work and to the creek below, was less obstructed by trees than at Fort Comstock, and nearly all the work of its construction was performed after dark,—as the sharp- shooters could reach a working party, and did so fre- quently, occasionally taking offaman. We used a plenty of sand-bags in the construction of this battery, especially about the embrasures, and these, covered with the green hides taken from our beef-creatures, gave it an appear- ance of greater solidity and stability than an ordinary earthwork. The rebels, as soon as they had corralled us in the city, were as busy as ourselves in erecting batteries and forts, and day and night, while on picket, we could hear their axe men, in the woods that covered the hills to the north- east of us, cutting trees to give their guns a chance when the proper time came. We had taken possession of the flour-mill and railroad buildings, and had pre- pared them for defence by barricading the windows and opening loop-holes through the walls. The locomotives were in the round-house partially disconnected, and some of the important parts had been concealed, rendering them useless if captured; and the few cars remaining were drawn as closely together as possible, and prepared with light fuel ready to be fired should the enemy suc- ceed in taking the place. The long and weary days and nights were passing with no change in our duties to relieve the dull monotony, save an occasional skirmish or sharp picket firing, or an attempt on the part of one side or the other to change its lines, until the night of the 2oth, when the little hamlet of North Knoxville, between our picket line and fortifi- cations, was burned to the ground. The dwellings had been taken possession of by a detail of the Seventeenth Michigan with orders to destroy them in case of an 202 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. advance on our line, thus preventing their being occu- pied by the enemy’s forces. The walls in each house had been opened, and the spaces filled with the most combustible material obtainable. On that night, as the enemy threatened an advance, and even succeeded in forcing back a portion of our pickets, the whole settlement was started in a blaze at once, and in less than an hour not a timber was left stand- ing. The large railroad repair-shop that had been occu- pied by the rebels as an armory, and in which had been stored a quantity of small arms and ammunition of vari- ous kinds, was also destroyed accidentally; and, when the fire had at last made its way to the boxes of ammu- nition, there was a grand fusilade by the bursting of shells, etc., sounding like an engagement near at hand: On the night of the 23d another advance was made on our division picket line, and after a sharp skirmish two regiments were compelled to retire for a short distance, whereby the left of our regimental line was turned ; but we held our position until morning, when an order to advance was given, and soon our lines were established on the same ground we had previously held. The pick- ets directly opposed to us were said to be very tricky and treacherous, frequently using cow-bells at night in their movements to avoid suspicion. The first man we had killed outright during the siege was a vidette, who was clubbed to death near his post by the rebels, who were using such means in order to avoid detection. I think it was on the 24th, near noon, that a detachment from my regiment was ordered to the right to support the Fifteenth Indiana Light Artillery located in Battery Wiltson. We were, not aware that anything unusual was transpiring when we left our breastworks, but soon we learned that there was a little commotion on the other side very near our regimental head-quarters, where we BESIEGED AT: KNOXVILLE. 203 had camped a few days before at North Knoxville. While waiting for matters to mature, our Company F had a reinforcement of one recruit, who was not a regularly enlisted man, but a resident of Knoxville. He came of his own accord to the right of the company near the centre of the battery, and gave a partial story of his life, and told of the wrongs he had suffered at the hands of the rebels, and how they had cruelly taken the life of his brother. After hearing all, we concluded that they were a hard set, and needed correction. But he had come prepared, if occasion offered, terribly to avenge that brother’s death, and assist us in repelling any attack that might be made on our lives; for he had brought with him a whole little arsenal, consisting of a long range rifle, a double-barrel shot-gun, and- a navy re- volver, all loaded and ready for immediate use, and talked as though he was good for eight or nine rebels sure. This had been one of the finest days since the siege began, and we had not waited long before we learned why we had been ordered into the battery, for soon the enemy unmasked a gun, which they had placed in a redoubt near our old camp-ground. They seemed to want to get the range on Battery Wiltson or find out what was there, for a puff of smoke was followed by a screaming shell, which passed in nearly a direct line over our heads to the rear, and apparently fell near Gen- eral Burnside’s head-quarters. In a very short time the general appeared alone, without a coat, and with field- glass in hand. He jumped into one of the embrasures, and looked for a moment, when another shell followed nearly as high as the first. The general said a few words to the lieutenant in command, and that officer soon gave an order to return the fire. This was at once done, a couple of splendid shots being sent in, which silenced the enemy's single gun, and this ended the duel. But 204 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. where was our recruit at this time—our hero who was so sure of eight or nine rebels on his own account? At the front, ready to assist in repelling an attack? Oh, no! but on looking out on the street that led to the centre of the town we saw the last of him, with his little armory in his hands, making for home, or some other place of safety, as fast as his long, thin legs would carry him. I have already spoken of the rebel pickets using foxy methods of getting in their work, and later we learned more concerning their ways. It was while on duty at the flour-mill, a two- or three-story brick building with flat roof and walls extending above. The windows were barricaded in the lower story, and loop-holes were opened through the walls for observation or defence. Their videttes, or sharpshooters, were well advanced in small rifle-pits, constructed usually with accommodations for two men. On the top of the earth thrown up, a head- log was placed, with loop-holes beneath, through which they constantly watched, ready at any time to give usa shot as opportunity presented. These little pits were changed frequently at night, and, though we could see their occupants sending in a shot occasionally to pick off any of our men who chanced to be exposed, we were not allowed to do anything by way of retaliation: we were simply to watch and wait, and defend and hold our position, if possible, in case of an attack. November 26 was Thanksgiving Day at home, and while on picket duty, with Captain Woodward in command of our part of the line, some of our reserve had the good fortune to capture a fat pig that had been left by its owner at North Knoxville. We had a very good dinner from the same, though without a great variety of relishes and other food. Our orders were nearly the same each day, and Captain Cogswell, who was still in command of the regiment and THE ASSAULT ON FORT SANDERS. 205, every fourth day in command of the Second Division picket line, was constantly urging us to be always ready,’ for an attack was now expected at any time. But this extra duty, the continued exposure to the changeable weather, and the scant rations of very poor quality, told on the men very perceptibly. The 27th and 28th were cold and disagreeable days, and especially the latter. The clouds had an unusually dark and heavy appearance, and lights were required at an earlier hour than usual. There was less rest that night than was usually attaina- ble on picket or in the trenches, on account of the spite— ful firing which was indulged in at times, occasionally forcing back a portion of our brigade pickets. On the morning of the 29th the enemy made a furious assault on Fort Sanders, located at our left, and, though the morning was quite dark, we could see something and hear much of what was going on. Fort Sanders was armed with ten guns, consisting of a part of three batte- ries, and was well fitted for defence. In its front, where the trees had been cut down, telegraph wires were stretched from stump to stump. Small pits, or holes, had also been dug, the earth from them being left in little mounds in their front, and everything possible had been done to obstruct the passage of troops. Having driven in our pickets, their assaulting column appeared, but the little garrison in the fort was ready to receive it. The brave defenders consisted’ of a portion of two regiments of infantry and the men of the batteries. The Confeder- ates charged bravely in column by divisions, filling the ditch, and a few succeeded in mounting the parapet—but only to meet a sudden death—and already many of their number had been killed or wounded. With undaunted courage the survivors pushed steadily on, never stopping for the murderous fire of artillery and infantry. Every step in advance was marked by death, until the assault- ' 206 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. ing column was well-nigh annihilated. The battle once opened, there were no intervals of quiet, but furious vol- leys followed one another, and each shot from the artil- lery went through their lines with awful effect. Large gaps were made, which were soon closed. The brave men still pressed on, eager to reach the steep, sloping glacis, intent on destroying the equally determined and disciplined garrison. The obstructions proved to be of great service, but the enemy seemed insensible to fear, or infuriated by the resistance they were meeting. Soon another column like the first came up, and the attack was renewed more savagely and more desperately than before, if such a thing were possible. Again they filled the ditch. Again a few mounted the parapet, only to surrender or be shot. The second assault terminated as quickly as the first. Greater courage and valor have never been shown, than were displayed that morning in front of that little fort. It is impossible for men to endure for more than a short time such an avalanche of lead and iron as was hurled upon them. Entirely and hopelessly. broken up, the survivors retired in confusion, leaving. about two hundred of their number in and near the ditch. These were obliged to surrender. The Confederate loss, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, was nearly one thousand, though they do not admit so large a number. On that ground, which permitted them to outnumber our forces more than five to one, they had made a good fight, but had paid dearly for the assault on Fort Sanders. Our own officers were always on the alert, and their daring and almost reckless bravery was shown by their gallant and successful defence against these most stubborn attacks: their good judgment and skill were shown by the perfect order and systematic disposition of their brave men, which insured a final victory, with a loss of not BESIEGED AT KNOXVILLE. 207 more than thirty men, including some of the pickets capt- ured. A little later in the morning I visited the field, and the broken muskets, torn equipments, parts of garments stained with blood, as well as the terrible mortality, bore witness to the fearful nature of the assault. As might be expected from the nature of such a conflict, a large portion of our adversaries had been killed, or severely wounded. Our first duty after the repulse was to reéstab- lish our lines; and, soon after, a flag of truce was sent to the enemy, giving them an opportunity to remove their dead and wounded, which was accepted. A few prison- ers were exchanged, the wounded removed, and the dead buried. At night, when this had been accomplished, and the signal gun was fired announcing that the truce was over, both armies were in position for another trial. The prisoners captured are said to have represented ten or eleven different regiments, from Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina. Some of them we had faced at the disastrous battle of Fredericksburg one year before, when we were the assaulting column. Notwithstanding this repulse, we expected that Long- street would soon make another attack on some other positions, and, as they had tried their batteries once on the batteries near us, we rather concluded that it would be at some pointnearby. Our success had given us courage, and we felt able to repulse any assault which he might make, but watched with greater vigilance than before. From November 30 to December 3 there was greater quiet on the picket lines than usual, which caused the rumor of an immediate attack. On the 4th we could see the enemy in our front march across, the Clinton road and up the valley, as though they were preparing for an at- tack on our extreme right, which was held by the Twenty- third Army Corps. Had they done this, their reception * 208 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. would have been a cordial one, for the position, naturally strong, was well fortified, and the loyal men from Kentucky , and East Tennessee, who constituted a large portion of that command, were able and ready to defend themselves. December 5 was cloudy and cold, but at an early hour we discover that the rebel pickets are all gone. More than this: we have the welcome news of the arrival of General Sherman with a portion of two army corps of veterans for our relief. The siege is now raised, we are well reénforced, and there is no longer any fear for the safety of the Department of the Ohio. At eight o’clock we were ordered out to make a recon- noissance. Following the retreating column a few miles, we picked up a few prisoners, but did not find the enemy in any force. Returning to Knoxville, pickets were posted; but all interior guards were relieved, and we had our first night of quiet rest in three weeks. We remained in our old quarters the next day and night, and on the morning of the 7th the corps was ordered forward’ by the road towards Tazewell, which was the one taken by Longstreet and his army. After a march of thirteen miles we halted for the night, the weather being freezing cold. The morning of the 8th opened cloudy, but the temperature began to moderate, and we were on the road again. Before night there were indications of a storm, and we halted early, and our regiment took pos- session of a heavily wooded ridge on the left of the road, one half of the regiment being posted for picket duty until midnight, then to be relieved by the other half, who established a resting-place in a valley a little to the rear. We had only started some little fires near each picket. post, when a storm of rain broke upon us. It not only rained, but at times it poured. After a lull in the storm, snow and sleet began to fall, and so severe was the down- AFTER THE SIEGE. 209 fall, that our little fires, in many cases, were completely extinguished. The night was one of the dreariest for outpost duty I had ever seen. But midnight came at last; we were relieved, and retired to the bivouac of the regiment. There we found the few officers that constituted the field and staff in but little better condition than our own had been. After a good warming by the huge fire that had been kept burn- ing, we began to look for a place to get a little rest and sleep. I met with areal accident here, or at least with quite a loss. I had chosen what seemed to be a good location, where I should be partially sheltered from wind and storm, and, pulling my cape over my head, laid down under my rude cover and finally went to sleep. I was soon disturbed, however, by feeling as though I was too near the fire, and discovered that a falling cinder had lighted on the back of my overcoat, burning a hole, and that it had also discolored my blouse. This to me was the worst thing that had happened during the campaign, for there was no chance to draw another coat, and patches of the requisite size were not attainable. I was therefore obliged to wear it as it was for a short time, until, when in camp a few days later near the house of a loyal family, the ladies transformed the cape with a new back, and once moreI had a respectable garment. The next morn- ing we were on the road again in good season, but did n’t make much headway. We halted for dinner at 2 p. m., but many of us found our haversacks entirely empty, the small supply of rations we had when we left Knoxville having been entirely consumed. Later in the day I was fortunate in securing two ears of corn, which J shelled, and, after grinding the kernels in our coffee-mill, boiled the meal for supper. We were now near Rutledge, and remained in this vicinity for a few days. On the 11th a ration of beef was ordered. 14 210 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. The poor animals were slaughtered, and two of them desig- nated for our regiment. Our quartermaster had received the dressed meat, and it was laid out on some rails to be cut up and issued, but, as the work was going on and the butcher was cutting one of the loins from the round, he struck an immense abscess on the hip nearly ready to open of its own accord. ‘They concluded not to issue any of this kind of meat, but had it condemned, and ordered it buried, which was done without military honors. A tablet, however, was erected with the following epitaph: ‘ Hic jacit duo boves. Damnati ad tumulum per Captain Alle- baugh, generalissimum inspecturum. Requiescatin pace.” (The old letter that this is copied from was written to my friends at home, and dated at Rutledge, December 11. In it I had mentioned the matter of short and poor rations, which I may refer to again.) Our beef and pork were all driven from Kentucky over the mountains, and that now issued had been with us since our first arrival, early in November. No forage had been provided, except what the beeves could gather in the frost-bitten fields, and in many cases these were cut up by the passage of the two armiés; hence, generally the animals had about as much fat on their ribs as on their horns, and but little more. The pork was but little better in quality, being of the ‘‘ razor back” kind. When it arrived, it was driven direct to Knoxville and slaughtered. After a small amount had been issued to the troops the balance was salted, and allowed to accumulate in readiness for an emergency. We remained at Rutledge until the 15th, when an alarm was sounded. We hastily struck tents, and formed in line of battle. Longstreet was reported to be reénforced, and to be advancing again. Quite a force of our cavalry, however, met him and made a good fight, holding him in check until 8 p. m., when we began to retire towards Knoxville. The mud was so VARIED EXPERIENCES. 211 deep that we had made only six miles by midnight : some bivouacked by the road-side and waited for daylight. We were then happy to learn that the enemy had also retired, and was marching east. We were ordered to advance again, and, bearing to the left, halted and went into camp at Lee’s Springs, near Blaine’s cross-roads, where we remained three or four weeks, suffering much from extreme cold, ice forming at times two or three inches in thickness. Snow-storms also were of occasional occurrence. On the 15th, when we expected to be obliged to fight before we could reach Knoxville, some of us placed our extra blankets, etc., on the wagons, and, as they did not rejoin us for several days, the want of these added to our discomfort. On the 23d, our last ration for the year 1863, excepting our meat, was issued. It consisted of eight hardtack, one spoonful each of sugar and coffee, with a small piece of tobacco—rather a short allowance ‘for men who were expected to do duty when at times the thermometer, had there been one in camp, would have registered the zero point. At no time during the cam- paign, or during our stay in East Tennessee, did we draw the usual small rations of rice, beans, etc., but, in place of them, once in five days a small piece of tobacco, some of which had been captured by Burnside when he first arrived at Knoxville. Neither were there any clothing, boots, or shoes obtainable to replace our worn-out arti- cles. Our details for pickets were large, and we fre- quently were away from our regiment three days or more at a time. When on these details we could occasionally get a little meal, corn, or bacon, but the residents were generally as poorly off as ourselves. For this reason the small forag- ing parties that were permitted were profitless expeditions. On the second day of January, I was one of a detail composed of nearly all the men fit for duty from Com- 212 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. panies F, H, and K. Lieutenant Dimick was in com- mand of the detail, and, on our arrival at the place desig- nated, pickets were at once posted and videttes thrown out. IT remained with the lieutenant, who chose for his head- quarters what had evidently been a cavalry outpost in a fence corner, with a few extra rails and some brush for protection from wind and storm. We started a: fire and made our rude camp as comfortable as possible, con- sidering that we were fixed for a three days tour unless sooner driven in or relieved. The night was cold and windy, and we found it almost impossible to keep com- fortable, but put in the time taking turns in keeping our fires, visiting pickets, and getting an occasional short nap. Near us was a log or timber house of the regular style in this section, and before daylight we had resolved to visit the family and try to obtain something for break- fast, for, as usual, our haversacks were nearly bare of rations of any kind except the very poor meat that was issued the day before we started. Day came at last, but the sky was overcast with cold, gray clouds, and the air was keen and frosty. As soon as we saw the small spiral of blue smoke curling up from that chimney we made preparations to give the people an early call, though the prospect was not encouraging from any out- ward signs. There were no stacks of hay or grain vis- ible, and no appearance of any live-stock of any kind except a poor little black and white calf six or eight months old, which an old gentleman led out and tied in the field near the house, leaving the poor animal to fill its frame with frozen rowen or starve. We proceeded to the house, and in the yard met the owner and his wife, to whom we made known our errand. They listened to our story, but we received the usual answer,—that their smoke-house was empty, and that there was not a meas- ure of meal in the house. Again we appealed to them, VARIED EXPERIENCES. 213 offering to pay well for anything they could furnish us that would appease our hunger. Soon a young lady appeared, and, having heard a part of our conversation, seemed more kindly disposed, and ready to accede to our wishes. After a short consultation with the mother, they decided to do the best they could for us. We were invited to enter the house, which we did, and took seats near the briskly blazing fire, the warmth of which seemed to add new vigor to our shivering bodies. Soon the balance of the family, consisting of three more light- haired girls, all dressed in the colorless homespun, made their appearance by coming down a ladder from the loft above us, and immediately retired to the wash- bench outside to complete their toilets. In the mean- time the lady, aided by the eldest daughter, was engaged in preparing the breakfast. They had drawn forth from some unknown recess a fine piece of bacon anda bag of meal, and in a short time generous slices of bacon and a large ‘‘ Dutch oven” of pones were cooking. While this was going on we entered into conversation with our host, and among other matters asked concern- ing school privileges (and, by the way, I will say that church and school edifices were seldom seen). We were informed that only a few years since they had very good schools and plenty of scholars, but some conta- gious disease had made its appearance, and the ‘‘ young uns had most all on’em died up in that part of the kentry.”’ Our breakfast was at last placed upon the table, a huge frying-pan containing the bacon occupying the centre, which was flanked by a large wooden tray of johnny-cakes or pones, which, with coffee made from parched wheat, constituted the bill of fare. We took seats assigned us, ‘and were soon enjoying the edi- bles which had been prepared. Apologies were offered for the quality and lack of variety, and the proprietor 214 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. said that the ‘‘durned rebs had tuck everything they had that they could find, had rode off every hoss critter and druv off every cow critter there was on the place, except the poor little calftied in the meadder.” The loss of the cows had cut off the supply of butter, and as for molasses they did not make ‘‘ but few” (which were then all gone), as they did n’t raise a full crap of sorghum any- where, but in place of these we could, if we wished, dip our pones in the bacon fat. Our breakfast being over, the lieutenant paid the bills, and bidding the family, which had so kindly entertained us with the best they had, Good-morning, we made our way to our post, much pleased with our reception and with what we had observed while we were the guests of this poor but loyal family. So much amused was the lieutenant, that soon after our arrival he sang his favorite song, the first verse of which was about as follows: ‘Oh! I’ve got a wife and I’ve got a baby Way up North in old Canaday: Won't dey laugh when dey see old Shady A coming, coming? Hail de mighty day!” We did not visit this family again, for some of the men had done a little foraging, and were thus fairly pro- visioned for a short time. We were relieved on the night of the 4th by the Fifty- first Pennsylvania, and returned to our camp at Lee’s: Springs, where we remained until the 16th, answering the usual details, having meantime another good snow- storm, which occurred on January 8. My finances at this time must have been in a very shaky condition, or else there were no postage stamps to be obtained in camp, for the envelope of a letter I am about to. copy from, written home on the 14th of January, bears the fol- lowing endorsement: ‘‘ Soldier’s Letter, E. T. Lyford, ON PICKET DUTY. 215 Chaplain rith N. H. Vols.” From this letter I learn that another one of our company had died at Knox- ville the day before; that we were drawing half rations of meal or flour and fresh beef, and that the latter was growing poorer in quality every day for want of forage ; that when we could not get the meal or flour, two ears of corn per man were issued instead; that the smaller rations of coffee and sugar were to us luxuries that we could not always indulge in, and that beans and rice were known only by name; that our men during this time were in very poor quarters, and the clothing they had drawn while in Kentucky was much the worse for wear, and afforded little protection; that their shoes were, in many cases, completely worn out, and they were making moccasins of raw hide to keep their feet from frost and snow; and, further on, that as destitute as the soldiers of the old Ninth Corps were, yet many of Long- street’s men were in a worse condition, if such a thing was possible,—and we were led to think so from the wretched condition some of their deserters were in, for they were giving themselves up occasionally, coming in with feet or hands badly frost-bitten. The letter closes by repeating the camp rumor that we were to go to Strawberry Plains in a day or two. On the 16th we did leave Lee’s Springs, and marched to Strawberry Plains, about twelve miles distant, arriving there early in the afternoon. The march was very tire- some on account of the deep mud caused by a sudden thaw which had melted the snow and top of the ground, rendering our progress exceedingly slow. On the 18th, Company F. Captain Woodward in com- mand, was detailed for guard on picket duty at McMil- lan’s ford, about two or three miles below the plains, and on the west side of the Holston river. This ford takes its name from the owner of the property we were 216 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. to hold and occupy. He was an old resident and ‘a loyal man, the family at this time consisting of himself and wife, one son—who was a refugee in the mountains or in the Union army—his son’s wife, and an infant child. He hada very good set of farm buildings, but he, like the rest of the loyal men in Knox county, had been entirely cleaned out of all kinds of stock and forage. Besides the house which he occupied—a comfortable two-story farm- house—there was the original log house, that had been | their home in their younger: days, now used as a weave- . room, and containing the old loom, spinning-wheel, etc., so frequently found among the people in that region. This log house we took possession of for our head-quar- ters, as it was quite handy to the river bank, and the road to the ford passed directly by the door. A detachment of our men had secured the few small boats used by the people near by on both sides of the | river, and drawn them up high on the bank where they | would be secure. All this having been attended to, our little company was divided into reliefs, and the men posted in the most advantageous positions for their | observations, defence, and their own protection in case of an advance of the enemy in the vicinity of the ford. . The farm was a level meadow extending from the bank | of the river, which was partially sheltered by trees, quite a distance to the rear; it also included a ridge or bluff a little north-west of the house, extending to a heavy growth of timber. Nothing occurred to alarm or disturb us for three | days. We enjoyed ourselves well. The only discovery of importance made was, that at a farm-house on the opposite side of the river, and a very little above us, there appeared to be a resident who had not been dis- turbed by any foraging parties of friend or foe, as the stacks of hay or grain near the buildings, the herd of ON PICKET DUTY. 217 cattle and fine flock of sheep in the adjoining fields clearly indicated. We considered ourselves very fortu- nate when we could obtain half rations of poor meat with our meal, or two ears of corn, but we wanted a change of diet. We had been eating poor beef for a long time, and now we wanted mutton. Chicken we had no desire for, as we had had all we wanted while in Kentucky four or five months since, and nothing but some good fat mutton would satisfy us, especially when we could see plenty of it near by, and could probably get it by taking it. On the night of the 2zoth a few of the men were given permission to cross the river and do a little forag- ing, if they found they could do so with safety. - Launching one of the boats, and taking along an army blanket, they started, and not long afterward re- turned, bringing with them a good supply of nice mutton and a blanket full of ears of corn. Without waste of time the mutton was dressed and divided, and before we slept we had brought our little frying-pans into use, and greatly enjoyed an excellent supper. The corn we shelled that night, and early the next morning one of the boys secured an abandoned mule, and started for an old mill a mile or two in our rear, and had it ground. Quite early in the forenoon of the 21st a few mounted refugees began to appear on the other shore, and they were permitted to ford the river and come into our lines. The first that arrived told us of the falling back of our troops on that side of the river, who had been doing duty in the vicinity of Dandridge, and that they had already crossed the Holston at Strawberry Plains. These refu- gees continued to arrive in small numbers until perhaps ten o’clock, the late comers confirming the reports of those earlier over, and adding also that Longstreet was close after them. The last person who appeared at the ford and wanted to come into our lines was a woman, 218 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE, who came to the water’s edge and begged of us for humanity’s sake to send a boat and take her over the river. Fearing there might be something behind we knew nothing about, or that some ruse was intended, no boat was launched for that purpose. But she was so intent on coming over that she made the attempt to wade across. She entered the cold, icy stream, but, after’ advancing a short distance, found the water too deep and the current too strong, and returned. It was hard indeed to listen to her pleadings for help and be obliged to refuse, but our duties would not now permit us to run any risks and grant the aid she asked. Very shortly after this, the enemy’s cavalry appeared in quite strong force near the farm-house on the opposite side. They very evidently knew that the ford was guarded, for they placed their men in position about the hay or grain stacks, in fence corners, and behind any- thing that would protect them. Very soon we were engaged in a brief skirmish, all of our men taking a hand in it. Atthe same time we could hear the artillery briskly engaged above us, and supposed, what was after- ward shown to be the fact, that it was at the, bridge at the Plains which our force wished to destroy, and which the ‘‘rebs” wished to preserve. When the enemy first appeared in our front, Captain W. ordered one man to be stationed in the edge of the woods on the ridge already spoken of, for from that point a better view could be had, and their movements could be clearly seen. One of our most trusty young soldiers was posted there, and instructed to report the result of his observations. He was at first well pleased with the position assigned him, but, wanting to see more, he advanced to the more open field for that purpose. The result was that he was dis- covered, and drew upon himself a volley from the other side. The serving as a target for so many made the ON PICKET DUTY. 219 place, in his mind, altogether too attractive, and he asked to be relieved. Permission was given him to retire, and an old sergeant was assigned to the place, who located himself where he could see all that was transpiring, and where he could also get in a shot when necessary. Orders had been given us, when we came to McMil- lan’s, that in case the enemy appeared in our front we should at once notify General Ferrero, whose head-quar- ters had just been changed from near the ford, and were now located a mile or two in our rear. There were no mounted men in our vicinity, and one of our men had to be sent on foot to give a report of our situation. Corporal F. M. Richards was the man detailed for this duty. He had come off picket early in the forenoon, and proceeded to do a little washing, which was com- pleted and nearly dried, when, without any delay, he donned his damp clothing, and, slinging on his harness, started. He found the place without much trouble, and made his report, when a staff officer was at once dis- patched to look the situation over. He was accompanied by several others, including two or three orderlies, and the first person they came in contact with was the old sergeant at his post on the ridge, who, in answer to the ‘staff officer’s questions, pointed out the location of the rebel troops. As all firing had now ceased, and no troops opposed to us were in sight, the officer seemed to doubt the report, or that there was any force at the place indicated. Finally, the sergeant told him if he would ride to a certain’ point out on the ridge he would prob- ably see or hear from them. He put spurs to his horse, and, followed by the others, galloped off, and when they had covered about half the distance across the ridge, received a smart volley from the other side, the bullets falling a little short, but causing a hasty retreat. The 220 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. lieutenant was obliged to give it up on his return, and said he guessed there were some of them out there. He thought best that a mounted man should be left to carry any reports that might be necessary, and left one of his orderlies for that purpose, who, having tied his horse well in the rear, remained with the sergeant. The spot selected by the sergeant for defence and observa- tion was at the edge of the timber, behind an immense oak tree, large enough to shelter two men if neighborly. By the side of this tree, and close to it, a sapling pine had grown up eight or nine feet high. This was cut off at a proper height, and made an excellent rest for a long range shot, and, though it afforded no protection, helped to hide them from view. Our men were using their ammunition on points where the enemy seemed the most numerous, or where they exposed themselves,—they returning our fire, but without loss to us. Thus the little battle continued at intervals until nearly three o’clock, when an officer, clad in a dark blue U. S. A. overcoat that perhaps had been worn by one of our own men, was observed by these two com- rades to leave the rebel lines, and with long and rapid strides find a good shelter in a little ravine considerably nearer ourmen. He seemed intent on discerning the location and number of his opponents. The little hollow- he occupied covered him from view about to his waist. The chance was too good to be lost, and a few shots were sent him. At each discharge he would drop out of sight, rising as soon as the bullets had passed. It seemed as though they must have gone very near him, and a job was put up for his benefit. Both were to carefully load their pieces, and take good aim,—the sergeant with half an extra charge of powder behind the Minié ball, the sight elevated for five hundred yards, and his trusty rifle at a rest over the little pine; the cav- ON PICKET DUTY. 221 alry man, with his carbine at arm’s-length, was to com- pel ‘him to retire or get hurt. When all was ready, and he was intently watching to gain the desired information, the sergeant gave the order, ‘“‘Aim: Fire!” The car- bine sent its message ; the officer dropped as usual, and, when time for him to rise, the sergeant blazed away. He was seen to rise and gain nearly an erect position after the cdvalryman had discharged his carbine, but he evidently caught the bullet from the other rifle, as he went down at once, and did not rise again. Two of his comrades immediately left their lines and ran to his relief: after a short stop they ran back, leaving the officer where he fell. There was at once a sharp fire opened on the big oak, and the sergeant and his com- rade were obliged to stick close to their cover until the storm was over. It seemed to be a cruel thing—this hurting a man in this way—but it was really only retal- iatory, and the old sergeant felt justified in what he had done, as he had been a target for their sharpshooters all through the siege of Knoxville, and at times when he had not been allowed to return a shot. Soon after this, the Confederates changed the position of some of their forces by extending their left along a ridge of land running nearly parallel with the river, and it looked as though they meant to clean up that little reserve force by getting on to their right flank. All their movements could be seen, but they failed to dis- cover the tree that sheltered the two ‘‘ Yanks,” whose position had become so warm that for a time they with- held their fire and remained in their retreat. A little later they joined their comrades in firing at will at any of the opposing pickets who exposed themselves. We ‘held our position, getting in what work we could, until after four o’clock, when Company F, which had fought for and held McMillan’s ford against a much 222 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. larger force than its own, was relieved by the Second Michigan (with another regiment to support them), and was ordered to join its own regiment. This it was ready to do, and finally found the remainder of the Eleventh in line near Strawberry Plains, with arms stacked, : ready to take any place when called upon. It was then about sunset. Soon after dark we were ordered to fall in, and were marched nearer to the bridge which spanned the river at Strawberry Plains. It had been partially destroyed by our forces during the day, in order to prevent Longstreet from following us at once in force. The pickets were exchanging occasional shots, and seemed determined to annoy each other as much as possible. The troops that had been in our front, or out in the vicinity of Dandridge, consisting of the Fourth and the Twenty-third army corps, had evidently fallen back in some disorder, and the enemy had pressed them so hard that because of the enfeebled condition of the horses they had been obliged to abandon two pieces of artillery. | These were now near the river bank, and covered by the enemy’s fire. Our commander, not wishing to leave them, called upon the Second Brigade to save them if possible. There was no hesitation. Drag ropes were secured, the men slung their muskets, our own regiment took one piece, and two smaller regiments the other, so we soon had them out of all danger. I think it was nearly midnight, and this fragment of the old Ninth Corps, which was to have the honor of taking the left of the line and covering a retreat’ before an army much superior to its own in point of numbers, also had the presumption to try and save, by dragging for miles, the two guns. Soon we were on the march, but made little progress, as the wagon-trains and artillery that preceded us had. left the roads in a fearful condition. The deep ruts which they had made in the soft mud, nearly axle deep, . ON THE MARCH. 223 were now freezing stiff, but we toiled on, pulling with the ropes, lifting on the wheels, up hill and down, with only an occasional halt for rest, until nearly daylight, when we came to a ravine with quite steep banks, the bottom being the bed of a river of considerable size. Horses had been secured, and left here, I think, to relieve us of the burden of the two pieces of artillery, and we also found that the troops in advance had been compelled to abandon a portion of their train, containing among other goods a small lot of overcoats and shoes, which were to be destroyed. The same general who asked his men to save the abandoned guns now ordered these cases opened, and the contents divided among those who were most in need of them. I was not quite coatless, but my old over- coat was capeless, and when a new one was given me by a friend on special duty, I was quite ready to take it, though when I put it on it was very evident that it was not made expressly for me, but for some fellow about twice my size. We had halted here but a short time when we were ordered forward, as our rear guard had come up; and, more than this, we wanted to get within supporting distance of our advance. They had three or four hours’ start of us, but were hindered by having a small train of wagons and artillery along with them, while we were without anything to impede our progress. We continued our march as fast as our weary limbs could carry us until some time after sunrise, when we filed into a field and halted for breakfast, which we soon had in course of preparation. We were not allowed time to complete the cooking of our slim allowance, however, but were again ordered forward, as the enemy’s cavalry was close upon us. Gathering up and donning our little possessions, we formed our lines and threw out skirmishers and flankers. 224 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. « The First Brigade, marching to our rear and taking a position on another ridge, formed another line and constituted our support. From this time until quite late in the afternoon we were falling back, skirmishing with the advancing enemy, alternating positions with the First Brigade, passing defiles, removing any small obstructions, or levelling fences that we came in contact with, and then we came to a halt. Our corps being very small in num- bers, say, 2,500 men bearing arms, the troops were very easily handled, and were well manceuvred, the different brigades retiring and forming new lines without confu- sion. At § o’clock we were within three miles of Knox- ville, where a good line of defence was chosen. At one time, after taking a new position in the rear of the First Brigade and while we were waiting. for them to return, Sergeant McAllister, who was standing near and was evi- dently partaking of a lunch, called upon me to join him and take something, which I proceeded at once to do. Coming to him as he stood, one hand grasping his can- teen and the other in his haversack, he said that I was perfectly welcome to a part of his lunch; and he drew forth a handful of meal. He remarked, as he passed it, that it was very healthful, and that where he lived meal and water was the best diet for fattening beef, pork, or poul- try that could be obtained. I appreciated his kindness as well as his joke, but, being provided with some of the same, did not partake at thattime. Our company gener- ally looked like the hardest lot of tramps to be found in the corps. Our last thirty-six hours’ duty had been almost incessant, and few if any of us had cared for our toilets. Smoke-begrimed lines on our faces showed how the perspiration had started while wrestling with the two abandoned guns during the night, and our trousers, frayed around the bottom, the once beautiful blue changed to a dirty yellow by mud and frequent close contact with AGAIN ON PICKET. 225 our open fires, would have made us excellent subjects for an artist of a comic paper: he would not have been obliged to study long to obtain a perfect caricature; and I know that my own personal appearance, with my new overcoat many sizes too large, was comical and ridicu- lous in the extreme. My own regiment, the largest in the division and per- haps in the corps, numbering about 225 men, lost but two men on the retreat. What the loss of the corps was I am not able to state. The enemy made no further demonstration, but soon retired; and we lighted our camp-fires and enjoyed the season of rest which we all needed, especially my own company, as it had been on continual duty since the morning of the 18th. We re- mained on this line until the 25th, when we marched through Knoxville to Lyons’s mill, about five miles to the south-west, and went into camp for a week, with only light picket duty to perform. On the 1st day of February, late in the afternoon, we marched to Knoxville again, crossed the river, and, after advancing a mile or two, went into bivouac in the woods, rain and snow falling fast. After a most uncom- fortable night we returned to our old camp at Lyons’s mill, and a large amount of fault-finding was indulged in, our boys being heartily tired of this kind of rebellion crushing. That very day, after a brief rest, Company F was detailed for picket at Johnson’s ford, about four miles farther down the river. After posting pickets we arranged our little camp a few rods from the river’s bank, in the woods; but with all our labor the place was cold, dreary, and comfortless. Mr. Johnson, the proprietor of the lands about the ford, called upon us frequently during our stay, and appeared to be a loyal man of the same class that we had frequently fallen in with. He had been relieved of everything that the ‘‘ rebs” 15 226 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. could use, and seemed to be as needy as any of his neighbors. We were on duty at this place a week, and on the afternoon of the 8th were relieved by Company D of our regiment. During this time we had not seen any of the enemy. On the 4th, Lieutenant S. and myself had been compelled to give up and remain in our quarters, | suffering from a severe attack of intermittent fever; and when Company D arrived to take our place, we were not able to return to our regiment. Mr. Johnson kindly offered the hospitalities of his humble home, which we were glad to accept. The house, built of logs or timber, comprised two rooms, separated by a large chimney. One room was the spacious kitchen, one corner of which was taken up by the usual hand-loom and spinning-wheel, the other room being used as a sitting- and sleeping- room. On our arrival at the house, Mrs. Johnson and daughter, assisted by a lady visitor, began to make us as comfortable as possible by preparing hot gruel, and steeping a tea from a mountain herb which they were in the habit of using for similar attacks. The effect of these warm potations, which were liberally furnished, was soon felt, and we began to recover from the effects of this day’s raging fever. After the family had par- taken of their supper, the ladies retired to the other part of the house, leaving us to enjoy the comfortable fire, which we did until quite late, listening to and greatly enjoying the stories and incidents related by our host. When the time for retiring came, Mr. Johnson announced that our bed was ready for us at any time. Feeling the need of sleep we did not wait for a second bidding, but followed to the room opposite, which contained three beds, two of them already occupied. A good fire was burn- ing in the ample fireplace, and in front of it was a low bed, that had been rolled. out and assigned to our use. 4 HARD MARCH. 227 This manner of living, or, at least, sleeping, was some- thing quite novel to us; but, as we had been so kindly received and they had so freely divided their accommo- dations, we had no desire to refuse the little couch. I have known many times, before and since, when a good night’s rest was a great reviver, but it seemed to me that never in my life did a night’s rest do me so much good as this, for when I awoke in the morning I was very much improved. ‘As that was not the day for a regular shake, we pre- pared to start for our regiment. A good breakfast was furnished us, and, thanking our kind entertainers and wishing them many blessings, we started for camp, arriving there a few hours later, nearly broken up. I did not leave my quarters to do any duty until the 15th, when we packed up and started again for Knox- ville, in a severe rain-storm. After going about three miles we camped, remaining until the 20th, when we passed through Knoxville, going into camp on the Clinton road a short distance from the city. There we stopped until the 24th, when we marched again to Strawberry Plains, accompanied by our new depart- ment commander, General Schofield, and other generals and staff officers, who managed to tire us out, as the roads were in ‘a very heavy condition and we were not so well able to endure the fatigue as their well fed and well groomed horses. Halting until the 27th, we crossed the river in flat or pontoon boats, reaching Mossy creek on the 28th. Late in the afternoon, while the front of our column was filing into a field where we were to camp for the night, our portion of the line had halted for a short time in the road in front of a farm-house, and near us, watching the passing troops, was the pro- prietor, with whom we entered into conversation. He was a Unionist, very dignified, and social in manner 228 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. and speech. We also soon espied a small flock of geese in the enclosure, that had either by some good manage- ment or streak of fortune escaped the various foraging parties that had passed that way. An offer to purchase a portion of the flock was at first refused on the ground that there were only enough left to raise another flock from, for the use of the owner’s family; and he did not consent to part with any until he was convinced that with so many hungry soldiers in camp near by he would be liable to lose them all eventually, and have nothing to show for them. Captain Woodward, by paying a very liberal price, bought two for our little mess, and engaged one of the men to dress and prepare them for our next day’s rations. We anticipated a feast such as we had not enjoyed for months, though our facilities for stuffing and roasting the web-footed birds were of the poorest kind. To get over this part of our trouble it was decided to cut them-up and partially cook by boil- ing, after which we could broil or fry, as circumstances would allow. When I retired for the night everything was lovely and the geese were hanging high in a camp kettle, faithfully guarded to prevent any ‘‘ coffee-coolers’ who should come in later from snatching them for their own use. Early the next’ morning all were astir preparing to take the road again. Our new rations were divided, each of us having a very generous quantity, a portion of which was carefully placed in our haversacks, ready for future use, saving out only enough for breakfast. I was feel- ing rather ‘‘ tony”? and high-priced myself, and decided that a nice piece of parboiled goose, broiled, would give my stomach a perfect surprise. Running my ramrod through a nice piece of the breast, and holding it over a bright bed of coals, I carefully watched and turned it until it was a beautiful brown, and I was sure it was done ARRIVAL OF RECRUITS. 229 just right, and good enough for a musketeer, anyway. The rest of our breakfast consisted of a little poor bread and a cup of weak coffee, and we were ready to taste the tempting morsel. My teeth were in good condition, and I could tear off the end of a cartridge without any trouble, and as quickly as any one else; but they were not equal to this, which was really a test case, for I failed in mak- ing any impression on what I thought was to be a great luxury. I said nothing, but watched the others, and noticed that they were meeting with no better success, and we had found our match at last. The captain was sure they were brought here by the earliest settlers of the country, and the rest of us concluded that some of their ancestors, not very far removed, had some centuries ago, by their cackling, saved the Eternal City. The piece I had hinged my expectations on for that morning I carefully placed in my haversack, to try other experi- ments on later. Colonel Harriman had been recommissioned as colonel of the Eleventh Regiment, and joined us here, having marched from Kentucky in command of a large detach- ment of recruits, about four hundred of whom were assigned to our regiment. Of this number only a little more than thirty per cent. joined us, the remainder, which had cost the towns and state many thousands of dollars, having deserted en route; and many even of those who came and joined the regiment in Tennessee left us soon after, or before the corps arrived at Annap- olis. These were a disgrace to the state, an insult to the tried veterans who survived, and to the fallen. dead whose vacant places they were to fill. Among those who did remain were many who later made excellent soldiers and proved their worthiness on many fields of battle, and before our term of service expired were num- bered among the killed and wounded. 230 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. On the 29th we came to Morristown, about forty-two miles from Knoxville, the rain falling fast. March 1st being equally stormy we halted in the woods a little east of Morristown, making ourselves as comfortable as pos- sible. At night we received orders to be ready to march again the next morning at four o’clock. We were ready at the time designated, the storm having passed by and the air now being crisp andcold. We returned through Morristown at an early hour, and arrived again at Mossy creek at three o’clock in the afternoon. We remained here about four days, everything appearing to be quiet: in our vicinity until the 5th, when the enemy and some of our cavalry had a smart skirmish near our picket lines, but we were not called upon to participate. On the 7th we made a reconnoissance in force, going eighteen miles towards the Nolachucky river, and not finding any enemy, after changing camp once or twice, marched fourteen miles on the 12th to Shoddyville, where we remained two days. We reached Morristown again on the morn- ing of the 14th, our pickets having had, in the meantime, a brush with a small force of rebel cavalry, who were forced to retire, the loss to our regiment being one man. We had been over a portion of this section so many times that we were well posted concerning roads and streams, but had not learned the names of quite all the people, a very large majority of whom we had found to be truly loyal and very liberal, even in their reduced circum- stances. On the 16th we were ordered to be ready to march the next morning, at six o’clock, for Knoxville, and we hailed the order with great pleasure, for there was what we thought a well founded rumor that we were at once to be removed from the Department of the Ohio. We arrived at Knoxville on the 21st, and .made immediate preparations for leaving for Annapolis, Md., at which 232 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. following day. We were at Point Isabel on the morning of the 27th, where a halt was made. There our corps commander realized the effects of causing the pay of the troops to be withheld. A number of sutlers had come to’ that place expecting to reap a harvest from our men, who were supposed to have their pockets lined with money. Their goods were temptingly displayed for sale, but there was no cash, and hence such a raid as I have never else- where witnessed was made. From point to point, by scores and hundreds, the men ran, paying no heed what- ever to orders or appeals from their officers, until at last, having done no small amount of damage, they were finally called into line and moved on again, and after eleven days arrived near Camp Nelson, having covered nearly or quite one hundred and seventy-five miles under the most unfavorable circumstances. There was very little straggling by the men, and at last we found ourselves in the land of plenty, though in rather poor condition. Our loss in battle or skirmish during our stay in East Tennessee had been very small indeed, considering the amount of exposure to the enemy’s fire ; but exposure otherwise had ruined the constitutions of many of our brave comrades, who were left in the general hospitals as we journeyed through the cities to our destination, and who, while the spring flowers were yet blooming, were quietly resting in their soldier graves. BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES. CHAPLAINS. One of the most useful men in the service was the regimental chaplain. Chaplains who performed duty in both the regiment and hospital rendered much service, FRANK K. STRATTON. 233 for which in reality they received but few thanks; and yet how much they did towards making the army effect- ive! Faithful, as they had opportunity, to the men of the regiment to which they were assigned, filling the position of postmaster, aid-de-camp, commissary, or quartermaster, present upon the field of battle to assist in caring for the wounded, laboring in the hospitals by night and by day, writing messages from the dying sol- dier to the loved ones at home who would never clasp his warm hand again, assisting in burying the dead, remain- ing often upon the field of battle, after the carnage had ceased, to assist the wounded and dying, and often taken prisoner while doing such duty and languishing for months in a rebel prison,—doing all this as an officer with no rank, his status in the army never yet defined, with no authority save that which arises from a personal respect for them: yet how much good they accomplished in a quiet, unostentatious manner, reaping their reward largely in the consciousness of having been faithful to all the trusts committed to them. The chaplains of the Eleventh were conspicuous examples. Rev. Franx K. StTrRatTTon was born in Albion, Me., educated at Tilton Seminary and Boston University. At the time of his appointment as chaplain of the Eleventh New Hampshire Regiment he was residing in Hampton. He began to lose his health on the march from Pleas- ant Valley to Fredericksburg. After the battle of Fred- ericksburg he obtained a furlough for thirty days, which was extended, and he returned to the regiment as it was on the eve of departure from Newport News, Va., for Kentucky. Being unable to do much duty with the regiment, because of continued illness, he resigned May 5, 1863, and was honorably discharged from the ser- 234 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. vice for disability, returning to his home at Kittery, Me. Since leaving the service he has been assigned as a preacher at Great Falls and Rochester, N. H., Melrose, Boston, Springfield, and Chelsea, Mass., and Norwich, Ct.; and was, at last information, in Saugus, Mass. Rev. Epwarp T. Lyrorp was born in St. Albans, Somerset county, Me., May 6, 1837. His parents both being dead, he was left at ‘fifteen years of age to take care of himself. At the age of seventeen he commenced learning the trade of a carpenter in Lowell, Mass., and at twenty began a course of study preparatory to enter- ing the ministry. He attended school at New London academy, and completed his studies at Madison Univer- sity, Hamilton, N. Y. He was ordained pastor of the Baptist church in Deerfield, May 6, 1862, where he remained until he was commissioned chaplain of the Eleventh Regiment, August 30, 1863. He joined the regiment at Crab Orchard, Ky., September 14, 1863, remained with it until the close of the war, and was discharged June 5, 1865. After his discharge from the service he again engaged in the work of the ministry, and August 1, 1865, he became pastor of the Baptist church in Seabrook, where he remained two years and a half. He then became pastor of the church in Row- ley, Mass., where he preached two years, when, from ill health, he became unable to labor. In 1870 he was elected a member of the legislature from Rowley, and in May, 1874, having in a measure regained his health, he assumed the pastorate of the Baptist church at George- town, Mass. Here he remained four years. In May, 1879, he became pastor of the church in Billerica, Mass. He preached there until 1883, when he became pastor of the church at Goffstown Centre, where he still resides,. though able to preach but very little since 1886. At - EDWARD T. LYFORD. 235 that time he was elected a representative to the legis- lature from Goffstown, a position which he filled with much honor to himself and credit to his constituents. I quote his words: ‘‘My first experience in the army was in the East Tennessee campaign, and all the scenes we there passed through made a deep and lasting impression on my mind. It was at Knoxville that I first saw a man killed, and I can recall very distinctly the feelings I had as I looked upon his lifeless form. When we first com- menced intrenching at Knoxville I did not feel satisfied to stand by and look on, so I took'a pick and worked with the boys throwing up breastworks, and thus gained a little experience in the life of a soldier. I was never entrusted with a command but once while in the service. It was during the siege of Knoxville. Every officer in the regiment had been on duty night and day for several days, and was quite worn out, and to give them an opportunity to get a little of the much needed sleep, I volunteered to go on duty two reliefs, from six o’clock at night until twelve,—so that for six hours I had command at the breastworks in front of the regiment; and it was just after I was relieved that the movement commenced that ended in the assault upon Fort Sanders. ‘In my experience as army chaplain I met with many sad scenes and some amusing incidents. While engaged in active campaign it was seldom that I found an oppor- tunity to have any religious service with the regiment; hence, when an opportunity occurred, I tried to improve it promptly. On our march toward the Wilderness we reached Bristoe Station, I think, on Saturday night. On Sunday morning I thought it a good opportunity to have a service with the regiment, and accordingly the church call was beat, and a goodly number came to- gether for worship. I had read the Scriptures and 236 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. offered prayer, when, without any premonition, there was a volley, and a shower of bullets came over our heads: my audience immediately vanished, and my ser- vice was thus abruptly terminated. A new regiment had been relieved from picket duty, and were ordered to discharge their pieces into a certain hill, but instead of firing into the hill they fired over it into our camp. «‘ The saddest part of my experience was while on duty at the field hospital, where I was compelled to witness the intense sufferings of the wounded, and where I had to minister to the dying. ‘At Spottsylvania, on the 12th of May, 1864, our division hospital and that of the Third Division were located at the same place and near together. At the close of the engagement that night we had 1,300 wounded men to care for, and the scene was beyond description. The dead and dying were on every hand, and work as diligently as we could, it was impossible to care for all as they deserved.” Until the end of the war Chaplain Lyford was ever found at his post of duty, faithful, true, and brave, doing all in his power to promote the efficiency of the reg- iment, and caring for the needs of the men, all of whom held him in high esteem. The mail service of the regiment was most faithfully performed while under his care. CAPT. GEORGE N. SHEPARD.1 George N. Shepard was born in Epping, August 14, 1824, upon a farm still owned, but not occupied, by him, having been in the family for four successive generations, it having formerly been owned by Asa Harriman, from 1 This sketch was received too late for insertion in regular line, so is placed here. GEORGE N. SHEPARD. 237 whom Colonel Walter Harriman, of the Eleventh Regi- ment, was the fifth generation in the line of descent. Captain Shepard received his education in the schools of Epping, and in Franklin academy at Dover and Hampton academy at Hampton. Was a teacher several years in his native town, in Manchester, and in Wisconsin; then resumed farming, in connection with land surveying. In August, 1862, he assisted in raising a company for the Eleventh Regiment, of which company he was com- missioned first lieutenant September 4, 1862. Captain Bacon having been detailed June 8, 1863, as judge- advocate upon the staff of General Sturgis, division commander, Lieutenant Shepard remained in command of Company A until May 30, 1864, when he was mus- tered as captain of Company I, which company he com- manded until the war closed, when he was mustered out with the regiment June 4, 1865. At the battle of Pegram farm, September 30, 1864, all of the officers of the regiment outranking him being disabled, he assumed command of the regiment, and by order of General Griffin, commanding the brigade, was. in command most of the time until relieved by Colonel Harriman, November 29, 1864. Captain Shepard was. wounded at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, on the left side, by a spent musket ball, but was able to take ‘command of his company (A), Captain Bacon being wounded. He was again wounded at Cold Harbor by a Minié bullet below the left hip, while in the act of mak- ing a charge with his regiment on the open field to silence a battery supported by riflemen behind breast- works. He then was in command of Company I. Ser- geant C. C. Paige, of the same company, marching by his side, had his right arm shattered. He remained in command of his company during the day and night fol- lowing, and then was compelled to receive hospital 238 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. treatment, rejoining his company again August 20, 1864. With the exception of the battles at the Shand House, June 17, 1864, and at the Crater, July 30, 1864, he was with the regiment in its entire campaigns and battles, performing every duty assigned him in the most faithful manner. Shortly after the war he engaged in trade at West Epping, where he still resides. Captain Shepard repre- sented the town of Epping in the legislature in 1860 and . 1862, serving one session on the Committee on Educa- tion, (General) S. G. Griffin, chairman. In 1874 he was appointed postmaster at West Epping, which office he still holds. He has been a member of the school board of Epping several years, a portion of the time as chairman. He is justice of the peace, and does much business in settling estates, writing wills and convey- ances, and assisting the men of the regiment in securing pensions, no veteran leaving him unbefriended when in his power to give assistance. LIEUT. GEORGE P. DEMERITT. George P. Demeritt was born in Durham, September 15, 1842, his father dying. the same year. One who knows him intimately says of him,—‘* The boy lived on the old farm with his mother till the war broke out. In stature and build he offered a strong contrast to his brawny associates, but the cool head, quick strength, and unquailing nerve gave him place with the best.” He enlisted in August, 1862, as a member of Company K, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers. He was with the regiment at Fredericksburg, Va., thence in the Mis- Sissippi campaign, and July 25, 1863, he was commis- sioned a second lieutenant of Company K. He borea GEORGE P. DEMERITT. 239 prominent part in the siege of Knoxville, and at its close he was detailed on duty at General Willcox’s head- quarters, Ninth Army Corps, serving with him three months, when General Potter assumed command,.and he remained under General Potter at Second Division head- quarters until the war closed, and was mustered out of the service in July, 1865. The following speaks for itself : HEAD-QUARTERS, 2D Div., 9TH A. C., OFFICE PROVOST MARSHAL, Jan. 30, 1864. To His Excellency Foseph A. Gilmore, Governor of New Hampshire: Sir: I have the honor to commend to your favorable notice Sergeant George P. Demeritt, Company K, Eleventh New Hampshire Volun- teers. He has been in charge of the provost guard at these head- quarters since April last; has always been faithful in the discharge of his duties, and otherwise exhibited the qualifications requisite for a good officer. While being on duty at these head-quarters in obedience to orders from the general commanding shows the high appreciation of his capacity, faithfulness, and worth, his absence would naturally dimin- ish his chance for promotion with his regiment. I feel constrained to make this recommendation in view of the fact that he has already been commissioned as second lieutenant in his reg- iment, but cannot be mustered because the companies are below the minimum. I cannot but feel that promotion in his case would be a just reward for valuable services. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your ob’t serv’t, J. B. Smit, Major and Provost Marshal, 2d Div., oth A. C. At the close of the war Lieutenant Demeritt returned to his home, and then became a resident of Dover, where he has since resided, being a merchant until 1882. He has served two years in the city council, three years as overseer of the poor for the city, six years as collector of taxes, and has-been twice elected a county commissioner for a term of three years each. He has also held high 240 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. positions in the Masonic fraternity, of which he is an honored member, fulfilling his duties with great accept- ance to all; and all of these positions show the high esteem in-which he is held by those who know him. LIEUT. JOHN E. CRAM. John E. Cram was born in Raymond, April II, 1842. He lived for a short time in Epping, and then returned» to Raymond, where he has since resided, being a farmer by occupation. He received his education in the schools of Raymond and Epping. He enlisted August 13, 1862, as a member of Company B, Eleventh Regiment; was mustered into the service August 28, 1862, and was. appointed first sergeant of the company at its organiza- | tion. March 2, 1864, he was commissioned second lieu- tenant, and later was commissioned first lieutenant and assigned to Company B. Lieutenant Cram was with his regiment at Fredericksburg on the march through Ken- tucky, and in the Mississippi and the East Tennessee campaigns, fufilling his many duties with great accept- ance to the officers and men of both his company and regiment. At Spottsylvania, May 12, 1864, amid the roar and crash of that terrific battle, Color-bearer Daniel S. West being shot, Lieutenant Cram seized the colors before they touched the ground. Immediately after he took the colors, the officer in command of the Eleventh Regiment ordered it to fall back to:a place of protection, which order was reluctantly obeyed. Lieutenant Cram, with ‘his colors, remained half way between the regiment at its halting-place and the line from whence it came, and at once the regiment advanced to its colors and then to the line of attack. This act of Lieutenant Cram was a GEORGE E. PINGREE. 241 most gallant one; he inspired the heroic men of the Eleventh Regiment with his undaunted courage, and they fought desperately through the day. About twenty minutes after taking the colors, Lieuten- ant Cram was most severely wounded, and was tenderly borne from the field. He was the fourth color-bearer shot in the regiment up to the time of that battle, six being the entire number shot during that terrible day. Lieutenant Cram was taken to a hospital in the field, and thence to Lincoln hospital in Washington, D.C. From there he obtained a leave of absence to go to his home, upon a surgeon’s certificate to report to his hospital when able for duty. His wound proved a very serious matter, and, being unfit for duty in the field, he was. ordered to New Haven, Conn., for recruiting duty, from which place he was discharged from the service, October 19, 1864. He returned to his home in Raymond, where, as stated, he still resides. For his gallant deeds at Spott- sylvania, Lieutenant Cram was commissioned first lieu- tenant July 25, 1864, but, being unfitted for duty in the field, was not mustered. CAPT. GEORGE E. PINGREE. George E. Pingree, son of Joseph and Polly Pingree, was born in Littleton, April 29, 1839, and received his schooling at Littleton and Lisbon, N. H., and Reading, Mass. He worked at farming in his boyhood, then four years in a general store at Reading, Mass., one ‘year in an organ factory, and one year driving an ice-wagon in New York city. He enlisted as a private in Company G, Second Regiment, New Hampshire Infantry, from which he was discharged August 9, 1862, on account of wounds received in the battle of Williamsburg, Va., May 5, 1862. 16 242 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. He was with the Second Regiment, when, with loaded muskets, it marched through Baltimore on its way to Washington, where it was attached to a brigade com- manded by Colonel (afterwards General) A. E. Burn- side. He was in the battle of Bull Run,.fighting from ro o’clock a. m. until 4:30 p. m., and then marched forty miles to Washington, reaching there during the next forenoon, with absolutely nothing to eat or drink. He then accompanied his regiment to Bladensburgh, where it was brigaded under General Hooker; after which he went down the Potomac, and worked in the trenches and on the forts at Yorktown under McClellan, thence to Williamsburg, fighting from daylight until dark, much of the time hand to hand. He was there wounded by a volley from the Fourteenth Louisiana, the ball passing through his right arm between the wrist and elbow. He was taken from the field to Fortress Monroe, thence to Hampton Roads hospital, and from there to his home in New Hampshire. He was commissioned captain of Company G, Eleventh Regiment, New Hamp- shire Infantry, September 4, 1862. He was still‘ suffering severely from his wound, but his patriotism and great love for his country overcame all obstacles, and he went marching on with the mighty hosts whose tread was heard throughout all the loyal North, and which carried great dismay to the Confeder- ates. At the battle of Fredericksburg he was knocked senseless by a piece of shell, but soon rallied. A piece of the same shell instantly killed George W. King of Company G. He was with the regiment in Kentucky, and in the Mississippi campaign. On the return to Ken- tucky his wounded arm began to assume a serious change, and, being advised that it would require ampu- tation if he remained in the field, he was ordered to Cincinnati, where he was detailed on court-martial for a CONVERSE G. MORGAN. 243 couple of months. He was afterwards transferred to the command of Company I in the Fifth Regiment, Veter- ans’ Reserve Corps, and ordered on duty at the prison camp at Indianapolis, where the regiment was disbanded in the fall of 1865. He then reported for duty to General R. K. Scott, at Charleston, S. C., May 1, 1866, where he was placed in charge of several counties in the interest of the Freedmen’s Bureau. His duties were to endorse all contracts between whites and blacks, issue provisions to poor whites and blacks and to planters, taking a lien upon their crops, to assist in establishing schools, settling disputes, etc. He was honorably mustered out of the United States service, January 1, 1868; remained in South Carolina until the fall of 1869, when he went to Indianapolis; thence to Rock Island, Jll., where he became night editor of a journal, and then entered the employ of the Moline Wagon Company; then a travel- ling salesman; then in the newspaper business again ; then book-keeper for the Moline Malleable Iron Works for several years; then a salesman again through Min- nesota and the Dakotas until January. 8,.1891, when he removed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he still resides as president and manager of a large manufactur- ing interest. As in the field, so in all of these varying positions, he has been most faithful in the discharge of every duty. His engraving, so generously contrib- uted, is a valuable addition to the history of the regiment in which he bore a conspicuous part. CAPT. CONVERSE G. MORGAN. Converse G. Morgan was born in Canaan, January 6, 1827. He was for many years a merchant, and the town-clerk of Hanover. He removed to Enfield in 1856, 244 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. where he resided until his death, following the business of a merchant, and, a portion ‘of the time, of a hotel keeper, and for many years was post-master. In August, 1862, he felt it his duty to enter the army, as many of the young men of Enfield said to him, ‘If you will be our captain, we will go with you.” In one week his company was full, and on September 4, following, he was commissioned its captain. He participated in the battle of Fredericksburg, and was a brave and faithful officer. In April, 1863, while the Eleventh was in camp for a few days at Mount Sterling, Ky., Captain Morgan was detailed one day as captain of the pickets, doing duty on the turnpike above the main village of the town. During the afternoon he, with two or three comrades, made a call at a house near by the picket post for the purpose of procuring something else to eat than pork and hard-tack. No orders-against this had been issued to the troops. At the house visited, he found the general ‘(Ferrero) com- manding the Second Brigade, with some members of his staff, in conversation with the ladies of the house. Gen- eral Ferrero reported Captain Morgan as deserting his duty as an officer in charge of the picket, and recom- mended his dismissal, not only to punish him, but, as was thought by many, to gratify his enmity to the Eleventh Regiment, which he had shown upon several occasions. The following is the order by which Captain Morgan was dismissed from the service : HEAD-QUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE OHIO. CINCINNATI, O., April 18, 1863. GENERAL ORDERS, No. 45. Captain Converse G. Morgan, Eleventh Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers, is; for renewed neglect of duty while on picket, after having CONVERSE G.

Captain Morgan had the sympathy of the entire regi- ment in the persecution that followed him, and it was considered an outrage upon the regiment. He applied to have the order of dismission revoked, which was finally done by the following order : War DEPARTMENT, ADJUTANT-GENERAL’S OFFICE. WaAsHINGTON, May 10, 1867.

He will receive no final payments until he shall have satisfied the Pay Department that he is not indebted to the government. : By order of the Secretary of War, E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant-General. After his dismissal, Captain Morgan was appointed a clerk in the Paymaster-General’s Office, Washington, D. C., which position he held four years, until his rein- statement; then he returned to Enfield, and resumed in a measure his former business. He remained here, a large part of the time'in feeble health, uatil his death, which occurred at Enfield, November 1, 1880. CAPT. ORLANDO W. DIMICK. Orlando W. Dimick was born in South Braintree, Mass., September 3, 1839, and at two years of age removed with his parents to Lyme, where he passed most of his life before entering the army. His education was: chiefly obtained in the district schools of Lyme, and in Kimball Union Academy at Meriden where he prepared for college. He entered Dartmouth college in 1861, leaving it at the close of the first year to enter the army. He was commissioned first lieutenant of Company H, Eleventh Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers, September 4, 1862; was pro- moted to captain, received his commission July 22, 1864, and was assigned to the command of Company F, being mustered out of the service June 4, 1865. HIRAM K. LITTLE. 247 At the assault upon the rebel works at the Shand House in front of Petersburg, June 17, 1864, he was taken prisoner, conveyed south, and held a prisoner some months, when he escaped, and after much suffering suc- ceeded in reaching the Union lines. After the war he taught school in the South a short time; then returned North, and for many years has been master of one of the schools in Boston. He resides in Watertown, Mass. LIEUT. HIRAM K. LITTLE. Hiram K. Little was born in Newbury, May 27, 1830. He was a descendant in the eighth generation of George Little, who was in Newbury, Mass., in 1640. His great-grandfather, Bond Little, served under Captain John Hazen in the expedition against Crown Point in 1758. When the boy was ten years of age, his father died, and the family moved to Manchester, where he attended school. In 1850 he returned to Sutton, and in 1856 married. For some years before, the war he was engaged in the manufacture of clothes-pins,. was one of the selectmen of the town, and a popular and highly respected citizen. September 4, 1862, he was commissioned second lieu- tenant of Company F, Eleventh New Hampshire Volun- teers. He was promoted to first lieutenant January 30, 1863. He was a participant in the battle of Fredericks- burg, in the Mississippi and East Tennessee campaigns, and in all the battles from the Wilderness to Petersburg. He was mortally wounded in the trenches in front of Petersburg, June 20, 1864. His wound was in the neck, rendering him speechless. He was carried on board the United States floating hospital, Vew World, then lying 248 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. at Point of Rocks on the Appomattox river, and taken to the government hospital at David’s Island, New York harbor, where he died July 4, 1864. While upon the transport, he was recognized by a brother of the Masonic fraternity, Captain J. M. Durgin, Company G, Twelfth New Hampshire Volunteers, of Laconia. Captain Dur- gin, at his request, took charge of some effects that happened to be upon his person, including a beautiful silken sash. September “1, 1882—more than eighteen years afterwards—Captain Durgin was present at a vet- erans’ encampment at Blodgett’s Landing, Sunapee lake, where the camp bore the name of ‘ Lieut. Little.” On beholding the name of the camp, memory quickly carried him back to the scene on board the transport. He says,—‘‘I at once inquired concerning the family of the loyal, patriotic dead, and learned that he hada son, the only survivor of the family, Cyrus H. Little, now arrived at early manhood, and in all respects worthy of so noble a sire, and that on the next day he would be at the camp where I could make his acquaint- ance—an event fondly cherished by me while life and reason remain, for I now have the honor and pleasure of presenting to this son the long-kept sash, the beauti- ful badge of a noble father’s military honor and fidelity, which he sealed with his life-blood. And now to this much respected and dutiful son, I need not say, Accept this sash with the respect and reverence due to so hon- ored a father, and cherish it among your sacred things: may you preserve it as a sacred emblem, not only of the honored dead, but of the noblest country on earth res- cued from impending ruin.” Lieutenant Little was a brave soldier, and his death was deeply lamented by his comrades of the entire regiment. After his death his body was carried to his home in Sut- ton, and buried with Masonic honors. Rk. FREEMAN SANBORN. 249 For the wonderful and almost miraculous manner in which Lieut. Little was discovered, see the thrilling sketch by Lieut. Nason of the same Company F. \ LIEUTENANT AUSTIN W. MESSER. Austin Waters Messer was the son of Richard H. and Sally S. Messer. He was born in New London, September 22, 1836, and was busy with his father in the manufacture of scythes, until Contpany F, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers, was formed, of which company he was commissioned first lieutenant September 4, 1862. His health was very poor at the time of his entering the service, and, being unable to withstand the hardships that would be required of him, he was obliged to ask a discharge from the service, very much to the regret of his company and of the regiment. He was honorably discharged from the service September 29, 1862, after twenty-five days’ service, and returned to his home, where he died November 14, 1880. LIEUTENANT R. FREEMAN SANBORN. R. Freeman Sanborn was born in Springfield, June 21,1824. There he resided until his enlistment into the United States service, farming in summer and teaching school during the winter. He served as orderly sergeant of Company F—into which company he enlisted August 13, 1862—until January 29, 1863, when he was commis- sioned second lieutenant of his company. He was pro- moted to first lieutenant July 25, 1864, but was not mustered. On the march from Milldale to Jackson, Miss., Lieu- 250 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. tenant Sanborn sustained a severe sun-stroke, accompa- nied by chills and fever. He participated in the East Tennessee campaign and in the battles of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania Court-House, when he became too ill for duty, and was sent to the Naval School hospital, where he remained until he was honorably discharged from the service for physical disability August 9, 1864. Since the war he has followed the occupation of a miller, residing respec- tively at Grafton, Meredith, and Ashland, which latter place is now his home. CAPT. J. LEROY BELL. J. LeRoy Bell was born in Haverhill, November 29, 1839, and still resides upon the same place where he was born, and which has always been his home. He followed the occupation of a farmer before the war, and since the war he has been engaged in farming and the grocery business. He assisted in raising Company G, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers, of which he was commissioned second lieutenant September 4, 1862. He was pro- moted to captain of his company July 22, 1864. Cap- tain Bell was the only commissioned officer left with his company October 1, 1863, and was placed.in command of it, continuing in command until September 30, 1864. He was mustered as captain August 13, 1864. He was wounded slightly in the left leg at Spottsylvania, May 12, 1864; received a scalp wound by a bullet near Pop- lar Spring church June 3, 1864; a slight wound in the head by a bullet at the Mine explosion in front of Peters- burg, July 30, 1864; and very severely wounded in the right thigh September 30, 1864, at Pegram Farm, by a ARTHUR E. HUTCHINS. 251 Minié ball. With his first and third wounds he remained on duty with his company; the second wound caused him to be taken to the field hospital, where it was dressed, and he returned to duty the day following ; with his last wound he was taken to the general hospital at City Point, Va., where he remained several days, then returned to his home upon a furlough, where he remained two months. He was then placed on light duty at Concord, remaining until"he was honorably dis- charged with the regiment June 4, 1865. Captain Bell participated in all the campaigns and battles in which his regiment bore a part until he was wounded September 30, 1864, caring for his company faithfully and ably. Being a fine singer, he, with others, assisted in whiling away many a pleasant hour when in camp, as the men of the regiment well remember. Upon the retirement of Captain Bell from active service, Com- pany G was commanded for a time by Lieutenant R. Baxter Brown, and afterwards, and until the close of the war, by Lieutenant Solomon Dodge. LIEUT. ARTHUR E. HUTCHINS. Arthur Edwin Hutchins, son of Chester and Jane (Swan) Hutchins, was born in Bath,. September 2, 1838. At twelve years of age he was fitted for college, and at the age of thirteen years he entered Dartmouth, from which he was graduated in the class of 1857. He read law in the office of Judge Carpenter, of Bath, and afterward entered the law school connected with Harvard University. He was admitted to the Grafton County bar in August, 1862, and September 4, 1862, he was commissioned first lieutenant of Company G, Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers. 252 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Lieutenant Hutchins participated in the battle of Fredericksburg, and soon after was prostrated with a severe fever. He rejoined his company at Newport News, just before the regiment broke camp for Ken- tucky. He also participated in the Mississippi campaign at Vicksburg and Jackson. Returning to Kentucky, he was again seized with fever, and, upon becoming equal to light duty, was detailed upon the staff of General Hincks, at Concord, in the winter of 1863-64. He rejoined his regiment at Annapolis in April, 1864, and was appointed acting assistant inspector-general upon the staff of Gen- eral (then Colonel) S. G. Griffin, commanding the Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps. When this brigade received the order to advance and charge the enemy’s lines, on the afternoon of May 6, 1864 (see Battle of Wilderness), General Griffin dis- mounted, and handed the reins to Lieutenant Hutchins. This being the only horse belonging to the staff on the field of battle, Lieutenant Hutchins mounted him. The brigade had advanced close up to the enemy’s lines, and had halted a moment for the final order to charge. As the order was received the brigade met a terrific storm of bullets, and Lieutenant Hutchins and his horse were killed, both being near the captured works. Lieu- tenant Hutchins was the only officer to be seen on horse- back in the entire Second Division at the front, and his heroism was inspiring to the men on the extreme right of the brigade, who saw him just as the charge was made. His death, coupled with that of Lieutenant-Colonel Collins, was a severe loss to the regiment. Both of them died facing the enemy’s deadly fire. The body of Lieu- tenant Hutchins was found by some men of the Eleventh, members of the ambulance corps, and buried on the field. In 1867, Chaplain Lyford and Lieutenant Goodall WILLIAM S. CARTER. 253 visited the battle-field, exhumed the body of Lieutenant Hutchins, and conveyed it to Bath, his mother’s home, where it was interred for its last long rest. COMMISSARY WILLIAM S. CARTER. William S. Carter, son of William, Jr., and Hannah (Badger) Carter, was born in Warner, September 28, 1842, where he resided until nineteen years of age. He received his education in the schools of Warner and Henniker, fitting for college at the academy in Hen- niker. He entered Dartmouth college in 1862, but not to remain. He enlisted in August, 1862, and became a member of Company D, Eleventh New Hampshire Vol- unteers, September 2, 1862. He was appointed commis-. sary sergeant for the regiment, and upon the promotion of Lieutenant Cilley he was made commissary, which position he held until the war closed. Upon the return of the regiment from the Mississippi campaign, he was appointed quartermaster of the Main Street. hospital, Covington, Ky., where he remained until the reorganization of the Ninth Army Corps at Annapolis. He was then relieved at his own request, and rejoined. his regiment, being commissary for 1,200 convalescents,. belonging to his corps, from Covington, Ky., to Annapolis,. Md. Upon joining the regiment, he resumed his duties. as commissary. After the war Commissary Carter entered the mercan- tile business in Lebanon, which is still his home. He is a leading member of the firm of Churchill & Carter, the largest house in New England outside of Boston, engaged in the manufacture of goods for working men and gentlemen’s furnishing goods. He is a trustee of the: 254 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Lebanon Savings Bank, a director of the First National Bank of Lebanon, president of the Business Men’s Asso- ciation, and president of the Lebanon Electric Light and Power Company. He was auditor of the state treas- urer’s accounts in 1890-’91, and is high in the councils of the G. A. R., of which he is a valued member. He rep- resented his district in the state senate in 1891, being chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, and a member of the committees on Judiciary, and Banks, and Manufactures. He has taken high degrees in Masonry. He was president of the Eleventh New Hampshire Regimental Association several years. He married, August 23, 1867, Dora, daughter of Oren and Mary A. (Robins) Bugbee, of Lebanon. LIEUT. CHARLES C. PAIGE. Charles C. Paige, son of Osgood and Martha W. (Blais- dell) Paige, was born in North Weare, June 28, 1838. He received his education in the schools of Manchester, whither his parents moved when he was three years of age, and also at New Hampton; was a carpenter and pattern-maker in Lawrence, Mass., and afterwards a farmer in Candia, whither his parents removed. He was the first man to enlist from Candia in Company I, which company he assisted in organizing and drilling. Lieutenant Paige was with the regiment at Fredericks- burg, in Kentucky, then in the Mississippi and East Tennessee campaigns, and in all its battles during the last great campaign until the morning of June 3, 1864, when he was severely wounded in his left arm from the the same volley that wounded Sergeant A. J. Bennett in his right fore-arm. Both were treated in the same hos- pitals, and were discharged from the service August 23, CHARLES C. PAIGE. 255 1865. (See Sergeant A. J. Bennett.) At the siege of Knoxville, Lieutenant Paige was acting sergeant-major, and at times acting adjutant of the regiment, performing his various duties in the most vigilant and faithful man- ner. Lieutenant Paige was commissioned both as second and again as first lieutenant, and assigned to Company C, but was unable to be mustered on account of wounds. He has contributed valuable material for this history, giving his own record in graphic language. At the close of the war he returned to his home in Candia, where he resided one year; then removed to Franklin Falls, where he still resides. He engaged in the millinery and fancy goods business several years; then in door, sash, and ‘blind manufacture ; and later became a dealer in furniture and an undertaker, in which business he is still engaged, having places of business in Franklin Falls and in Tilton. He has been a member of the local school board, and is an earnest advocate of all reformatory movements, political, religious, and philanthropic. He was one of the building committee of the regimental head-quarters at The Weirs, and for several years treasurer of the associ- ation. CHAPTER VIII. AT ANNAPOLIS—FROM THE RAPIDAN TO THE JAMES—INTRODUC- Tion—Parts I, II, anp I]I—Camrp Lirz at ANNAPOLIS—FRoM ANNAPOLIS TO ALEXANDRIA. Here the men of the Eleventh were glad of a rest. The campaign just ended had told heavily upon the vital- ity of every man. Preparations were going on for a thorough reorganization of the Ninth Corps, which was again to become a portion of the great Army of the Poto- | mac, and, under the leadership of Grant, was expected to give the Rebellion its death-blow, sooner or later. The South had nearly exhausted its resources in men and in needed supplies; the North, flushed with the suc- cesses of the past year, was full of loyal courage and devotion, and large numbers of new troops were rapidly filling up the Union armies all over the country. The North, with abundant resources and hardly yet seriously affected, was determined, and strong in faith and un- doubted patriotism. With this outlook, the government, mighty in power and vigor, was rapidly carrying out plans which should culminate by striking the enemy blow after blow in succession, from which it could not eventually rally. April 13, General Grant, accompanied by General Burnside, made a hasty inspection of the troops that up to that date had congregated at Annapolis. The Eleventh had not yet been able to receive supplies of clothing enough to make a creditable appearance at this inspection, sandwiched as it was between two new regiments which had just joined the corps. As Grant rode along the lines, passing regiment after regiment of CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 257 men who had lain inactive during the past few months, and who made a showy appearance, and came suddenly to the Eleventh, his quick eye noticed its appearance, and halting, he said to Burnside, ‘‘ What regiment is this?” ‘*TheEleventh New Hampshire,” said Burnside, ‘‘which has just returned from the East Tennessee cam- paign, and has not yet received its supplies of new clothing.” Grant raised his hat to the boys of the Eleventh, and said, ‘‘ Brave men, I am glad to see you,” and rode away amid deafening cheers from the men of the Eleventh, who felt proud then that they had taken part in the deliverance of East Tennessee. In the new organization of the corps, the Eleventh was still a portion of the Second Brigade and of the Second Division of the corps, and was the only regi- ment, save the Second Maryland, in the Second Brigade that was retained in the new deal. The other regi- ments of the brigade were the Sixth and Ninth New Hampshire, the Thirty-first and Thirty-second Maine, and the Seventeenth Vermont, all under command of Colonel Griffin of the Sixth New Hampshire, who was soon commissioned a brigadier-general for gallant services, and later was made a major-general. Gen- eral Griffin was the only soldier from New Hampshire who won the stars of a major-general,—an officer every way worthy to lead the brave men under ‘his charge, as he did in many a terrific struggle, asking no man to go where he would not lead; an officer careful, intelli- gent, and brave to a fault; an officer who bore, as it were, a charmed life, having taken part in so many of the great battles of the war, from the first battle at Bull Run, where he was captain of Company B, Second New Hampshire, until the final charge when the Rebellion ceased and Lee surrendered,—and never receiving so much as a slight scratch from an enemy’s fire. Several 17 258 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. regiments became later a portion of the Second Brigade. These were the Fifty-sixth Massachusetts and the Sec-' ond New York mounted Rifles; and the Seventy-ninth | and the One Hundrgd Eighty-sixth New York, serving on foot. But there is music in the air. All is confusion inci- dent to a great movement. The wives of some of the officers of the regiment, who have been with their hus- bands for a few days, as well as a number of civilian friends of the men, have just left for their homes. All surplus baggage has been disposed of. Battery after battery has joined the corps, now consisting of four grand divisions, three of white troops and one of colored, and on Saturday morning, April 23, the corps broke camp, and started on its march to rejoin the Army of the Poto- mac. After a march of thirteen miles it went into camp, and on the next day (Sunday) made a march of twenty | miles, and camped near Bladensburgh—famous as being the scene of many duels in the days of chivalry, and before the Southern people knew what civilization really meant. That night came a pouring rain, and in the morning many of the men of the Eleventh made their morning toilet from little pools of rain-water lying all about them. Monday morning the march was resumed, and Washington was reached early in the day, where the corps was reviewed by President Lincoln and Gen- eral Burnside from a balcony of Willard’s hotel. One of the most faithful and intelligent of all the war correspondents, Charles Carleton Coffin, in his ‘‘ Four Years of Fighting,” pages 309 and 310, thus describes the passage of the Ninth Corps through Washington : ‘‘All the speculations in regard to Burnside’s destina- tion fell to the ground, when on the 2sth of April the Ninth Corps passed through Washington and moved into Virginia. It was a sublime spectacle, the corps march- CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 259 ing through the capital of the nation, passing in review before Abraham Lincoln. The corps marched down Fourteenth street, past Willard’s hotel, where, upon the balcoriy, stood the president and General Burnside. Be- hold the scene! Platoons, companies, battalions, regi- ments, brigades, and divisions. The men are bronzed by the rays of the Southern sun and by the March winds. The bright sunshine glances from their bayonets. Above them wave their standards, tattered by the winds, torn by cannon-ball and rifle-shot, stained with the blood of dying heroes: they are priceless treasures, more be- loved than houses, lands, riches, honor, ease, comfort, wife, or children. The people of Washington have turned out to see them; senators have left their chamber, and the house of representatives have taken a recess, to gaze upon the defenders of their country as they pass through the city, many of them, alas! never to return. There is the steady tramping of the thousands, the deep, heavy jar of the gun-carriages, the clattering of hoofs, the clanking of sabres, the drum-beat, the bugle-call, and the music of the bands. Pavement, sidewalk, win- dows, and roofs are occupied by the people. A divi- sion of veterans pass, saluting the president and their commander with cheers. And now, with full ranks, platoons extending from sidewalk to sidewalk, are brig- ades which have never been in battle, for the first time shouldering arms for their country, who till a year ago never had a country, who even now,are not American citizens, who are disfranchised, yet they are going out to fight for the flag! Their country was given them by the tall, pale, benevolent-hearted man standing upon the balcony. For the first time they behold their benefactor. They are darker-hued than their veteran comrades, but they can cheer as lustily, ‘Hurrah! hurrah!’ + Hurrah for Massa Linkum!’ ‘ Three cheers for the president!’ 260 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. They swing their caps, clap their hands, and shout for joy. Long, loud, and jubilant are the rejoicings of those redeemed sons of Africa. Regiment after regiment of stalwart men, slaves once but free men now, with steady | step and even rank pass down the street, moving on to the Old Dominion. It was the first review of colored troops by the president. He gave them freedom. He recognized them as soldiers.” The following was the order for the march to the Rapidan : HEAD-QUARTERS NINTH ARMY CORPS, WARRENTON JUNCTION, VA., May 1, 1864. GENERAL CIRCULAR. The General Commanding publishes the following instructions to the men just entering the service of their country. He expects that every old soldier, who has learned their value by experience, will join in impressing their importance on those who are now to share with him the honor of a soldier’s life : On the march no soldier should quit the ranks, on any pretence whatever, without permission of his commanding officer. The army is about to move into the country of an active enemy, with no friendly force behind or near it, and every straggler runs the risk of Libby prison or a bullet. No soldier should leave camp without his musket, nor on any con- sideration, whether on the march or in action, take off his haversack, canteen, or cartridge-box. He should sleep with his arms within reach. Washing the feet at night, soaping the SUOETNE® and greasing the shoes, will prevent foot-soreness. Cavalry and artillery should husband their forage. Every soldier should endeavor to make his rations hold out longer than the time for which they were issued. A little saving may save a day’s starving. It is well to make little bags or some secure packages, for coffee, salt, and sugar; if mixed in the haversack they become worthless. Blankets and overcoats should never be thrown away, no matter how tired or hot one may be: cold nights follow hot days. The chief point in health and comfort is to sleep warm. At the same time the recruit should not overload his knapsack: by endeavoring to carry many comforts he may be compelled to throw away all. CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 261 He should never waste a cartridge or a cap; the time may come when every one will tell. When on picket he must remember that the safety of the whole army may depend upon his vigilance. He should observe and report every unusual sound. If attacked, he must remember that a cool and deter- mined party, acting on the defensive and properly protecting them- selves, can keep at bay many times their number, and thus give time to their comrades to form and come to their support. In action, he should keep cool, not loading in haste, but tearing the cartridge and pouring in all the powder before putting in the ball. He should aim deliberately, aim low, and pull the trigger slowly. One shot in five minutes, well aimed, is better than five in a minute without aim. He should never leave the ranks to carry off the wounded without permission of his officer—the ambulance attendants will take care of them—and he must feel that his first duty is to stand by his comrades in the fight. Spies and persons in citizen’s dress, found lurking in our lines with hostile intent, should be immediately turned over to the provost guard. Prisoners of war, wounded or not, should be treated with that sol- dierly kindness and ‘consideration which the Ninth Corps has always honorably shown, and which is due an open enemy. The General Commanding desires to express to the Ninth Corps that he feels the same confidence in them now that he has ever felt in times past, and has ever found just cause for feeling. He believes that they will do their duty thoroughly and heartily on all occasions, and under all circumstances. By command of Major-General Burnside, EpWwarD M. NEILL, Assistant Adjutant-General. 262 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. For a most vivid description of camp life at Annapolis and the march to the Wilderness, I insert the following account, written by Comrade Herman J. Eaton, Com- pany E: FROM THE RAPIDAN TO THE JAMES: OR, THE GREAT CAMPAIGN OF 1864. PART I. IN CAMP AT ANNAPOLIS. “e * * = from the tents, The armourers, accomplishing the Knights, With busy hammers closing rivets up, Gave dreadful note of preparation.” ; —King Henry V. «You that survive and you that sleep in fame, Fair lords, your fortunes are alike in all That in your country’s service drew your swords.” —Fulius Caesar. The camp-ground of the Eleventh New Hampshire Regiment at Annapolis was about one mile west of the city, basking in the April sunshine, ‘* High on a mound; from whence in prospect lay The fields, the tents, the navy, and the bay.” There were no trees very near the camp, such as had so often shaded us when on former occasions we had pitched our tents for a short rest after the long marches and the ‘heat of battle. Had it been in midsummer, we should have suffered under the hot rays of the sun without any pro- tection save our houses of canvas ; but long before the sun of summer shone upon us we were far away, where work was hotter than the rays of old ‘ Sol,” as he beamed upon us through the pine forests south of Spottsylvania. Across the parade-ground, and only a short distance from camp, the long railway trains steamed past many times during the day, and until a late hour at night. South of CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 263 us, and just across the railroad, was the convalescent camp with its many newly whitewashed barracks where a large number of invalid soldiers were quartered, and everything was as still and solemn upon those grounds as though it was a graveyard. To the east of us the quaint old city stood in full view, with its ancient state-house, large brick buildings, and slender church spires pointing to heaven. There, upon that large and elevated camp-ground, the Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Corps, rested and recruited from the hard and fatiguing campaign which they had just passed through in Tennessee. At Annapolis the brigade was entirely changed (as were many other brigades and divisions), and put in thorough working order for another and a greater campaign, surpassing all others in severe battles and hurried marches. The old Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Corps, was formerly composed of the Fifty-first Pennsylvania, the Fifty-first New York, the Twenty-first and the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts, the Eleventh New Hampshire, and, later, the Second Mary- land. All of these regiments, save the Eleventh New Hampshire and the Second Maryland, were transferred to other brigades in the corps, where they remained during the war. These regiments left the brigade with heavy hearts ; the men of the Eleventh were moved even to tears to see the organization broken up. We had soldiered together, and followed the fortunes of that famous brigade in sun- shine and in storm since October, 1862, when we were encamped in Pleasant Valley, Maryland. We had marched and fought side by side in Virginia, passed the memorable winter together at Falmouth, where the en- campment formed a hollow square, marched upon the hard, smooth pikes and encamped on the green grass of Kentucky, kept step to the music of the Union far away 264. ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. in Mississippi under a broiling sun, advanced into the jaws of death at Jackson, and had eaten rations of dry corn at the siege of Knoxville. ‘Good-bye, old com- rade, good-bye” was heard from all, as each regiment left the camp-ground and slowly marched away, each pledging that should we ever be so fortunate as to meet again, it would recall to mind the battles, sieges, and other experiences through which we had passed. The new Second Brigade was composed of the Sixth, the Ninth, andthe Eleventh New Hampshire, the Second Maryland, the Thirty-first and the Thirty-second Maine, and the Seventeenth Vermont ;—-the last three were fresh from their homes, or, as we veteran soldiers expressed it, they were ‘‘ right out of the top drawer spick-span clean.” There were a great many young men in the new regiments, who were mustered with souls all aglow. Fired by patriot- ism and the charms of war, they rallied to the support of the old flag just in time to see war portrayed in all its glory. Like those who had preceded them, ‘‘I’m off for the war!” was the rallying cry. ««T’m twenty-three, and five feet nine; I°ll go and be a sojer.” They had but little knowledge of what it was to be a soldier, and, like all regiments that preceded them, were ‘* spoiling for a fight,’ but ere one month had passed, their ambition in that direction had subsided wonder- fully ; nevertheless, they proved to be as good soldiers as ever marched forth to battle. The Second Brigade was commanded by Brigadier- General S. G. Griffin, and the Second Division by Brig- adier-General R. B. Potter who had been the commander for some time. Major-General Burnside commanded the Ninth Corps, as he had always done, with the exception of a few months, since its organization. CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 265 The short stay of the Ninth Corps at Annapolis was a pleasant one, and one that will, without doubt, long be remembered by the veterans who were there during those ever memorable April days of 1864. It differed in many respects from that of any other rest in camp we ever expe- rienced. This was probably owing to the campaign that was about to open. We were, in reality, lying under the enemy’s fire, awaiting the order to advance; conse- quently the camp savored of war more than usual, and the instructions we daily received were, to be alert and vigilant; to kill, destroy, and trample under foot ‘all enemies and opposers whomsoever.” Passes were often furnished us to go to the city, where there were numerous places of interest to visit, one of which was the state-house, from the cupola of which a magnificent view of the surrounding country could be had, also a peep at the sun-kissed waters of the Chesa- peake, freckled with its many oyster-boats and steamers en route to Baltimore, that left a dense cloud of smoke under the clear blue sky. The room in which General Washington delivered his farewell address was by far the most interesting, and large numbers are admitted every year. It isthe first room at the right of the east entrance. Colonel Harriman used his influence to get the regi- ment a furlough for twenty days, but all his pleadings with the war department were in vain, as there was work to be done, and a movement might be ordered before the regiment could return. A very few men from each regi- mentin the corps were granted a furlough of ten days only. It was pleasant to see the friends at home, but the sad good-bye at the expiration of the time caused the shedding of many bitter tears, and spoiled all the pleas- ure there was connected with it. For many it was the last visit to their loved ones, for as soon as the great con- test began, they laid down their lives on Freedom’s altar. 266 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. As far as the eye could reach, the encampment was a perfect city of white tents, of the pattern known as the wedge, or A tent. As the tents were at an equal distance apart, and the company streets of an equalized width, it added greatly to the general appearance of the camp: it was, in fact, a city peculiar to itself, where the homes were all alike and every man was dressed in blue. - So accustomed had we become to camp life and the rules of war, that our movements when on drill or otherwise were made in accordance with military tactics. It was not to be wondered at, then, that the camp was so often visited by people from the cities and surrounding towns. At almost any hour during the day could be seen the long lines of blue on drill, and the quick, sharp order from the officer in command would ring out in clear tones. At five o’clock in the afternoon occurred dress-parade, where thousands of muskets, handled with military precision, flashed in the waning sunlight, presenting a picture of war in all its pomp and power. The encampment at night presented a very fine appearance. Countless thou- sands of tent lights—star candles, stuck on boards or on bayonets—glimmered for miles around, converting the tents into mammoth white lanterns, making an illumina- tion of rare beauty. The camp songs that were sung, and the merry laughter that rang out at stories told under the calm star-lit sky, I can hear now as in the long ago, although it seems but yesterday. Patriotic songs, with which the army was well supplied, were sung with a spirit suited to a time of war, the many well trained voices joining heartily in ‘‘ When Johnny comes marching home,” and “©We’ll all join the Union, And fight for Uncle Sam.” Other songs chimed in at intervals, and for awhile ‘Sally, come up” was the favorite. A Confederate CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 267 officer once said,—‘‘It is no wonder that the Federal army was victorious, it had so many patriotic songs to inspire it. The Confederates had hardly one they could call their own, and while in camp or on the march, or on the eve of battle, there were no patriotic songs to arouse the troops, as there were in the Federal army. Why, I would have given all the world for a few such songs.” Without a doubt there was a good deal of truth in this statement. ‘‘Dixie” and ‘‘ Bonny Blue Flag” were about all the Confederates had, and the first of these was a Northern production. This is one more evi- dence that the South was fighting on the wrong side. The ear-piercing fife and the soul-stirring drum were heard the live-long. day, seemingly without cessation. Look in any direction we might, nothing greeted the eye and ear but preparation for war. About half a mile from the Second Brigade was the encampment of the colored troops, a division of whom had just been added to the Ninth Corps, who were the subject of much comment by the newspapers through- out the country. While in camp they were chuck full of their monkey-shines and oddities, some of which were veryamusing. Asa punishment for some offence they had committed, it was no uncommon thing to see them at different places upon the camp-ground standing upon the head of a barrel, while another barrel, with one end knocked out and a hole -cut in the other end just large enough to allow a man’s head to pass through, was then dropped upon the offender, the barrel resting upon his shoulders. A soldier receiving such punishment pre- sented a very ludicrous appearance: it reminded one of aman dressed in a huge wooden overcoat. This mode of punishment was very common the first two years of the war, but, as the battles and the hard marching increased, it got to be an old story, and was dropped. 268 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Another way of punishing a soldier, and more espe- cially among the colored troops, was to place two forked uprights in the ground, ten or twelve feet apart and about the same in height, a pole or a crossbar about six inches in diameter placed in the forks. The culprit was then compelled to sit astride of the pole or crossbar for one or two hours, which made the American soldier of African descent roll out his eyes wonderfully. One day while passing through their camp, I asked a burly fellow who was thus elevated upon the crossbar, what he was doing up there. ‘‘I’s doin’ nuffin’; I’s only settin’ here, dat’s all,” he answered; and a peculiar twist of his face plainly told that his position was anything but a comfortable one. He followed up the conversation by saying, ‘‘I ’spects yer white sojers nebber gits punished in dis yer way, duz yer?” I was sorry to inform him that such cases were common in nearly every brigade, which seemed to relieve his mind exceedingly. Then he made a wry face, grunted, twisted, turned, and squirmed in trying to find a soft place upon the crossbar. Truly, thought I, ‘‘ The way of the transgressor is hard.” On my way back to camp, and in passing an encampment of white troops adjoining that of the Second Brigade, I saw S., whom I well knew, walking in front of the colonel’s quarters, carrying a heavy stick of wood about four feet in length and one foot in diameter. ‘‘ Hello!” said I, ‘‘what are you doing with that stick of wood?” “‘Doing with it? D—n it, I’m carrying it—don’t you see?” was his reply, as he shifted the log to the other shoulder. The colored soldier over yonder was not alone that afternoon in paying for offences committed. It was very amusing to watch the dashing colored girls flock to the camp to see their lovers dressed in army blue at ‘‘Uncle Sam’s” expense, and drilling ‘for sojers.” Ofcourse ‘‘ Liza” blubbered a little, and slopped CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 269 over at the eyes, as ‘‘Clim” chucked her under the chin and sang,— ‘¢Oh! I’s gwine away fur to leab you, Oh, good-bye, good-bye! Oh! I's gwine away fur to leab you, Oh, good-bye, Liza Jane!” The colored troops were very proud of their position in ‘‘Uncle Sam’s” grand army. As they had been con- fined in slavery ever since they were born, it was not surprising that they could hardly believe that they were free—at liberty to do as they pleased with no fear of the lash—and that they were soon to march forth to battle by the side of the white troops, whom they had long hon- ored and respected as ‘‘Massa Linkum’s men.” To them, the year 1864 was to be a year of jubilee. They were willing to fight for their liberty, and on many battle- fields they did good service. «« So still and orderly, arm to arm, knee to knee, Waiting the great event, stood the black regiment.” The phrase once so common, ‘The colored troops: fought nobly,” had more truth than many people sup- pose. When the Confederate soldiers were questioned as to why they were fighting against the old flag, they usually replied by saying, ‘‘ We are fighting for our rights,” but were unable to tell what rights had been denied them. Could not the colored troops use the same words with far more truthfulness ? As they listened so attentively to the orders that were read to them when on dress-parade, watched and ques- tioned the white soldiers in order to learn what they could about the coming conflict, they, at times, failed to grasp the thought that they were free, and appeared amazed and bewildered. As the time for action drew near, they understood the situation much better, and their fears were in a great degree removed. 270 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Their confidence in General Grant as a leader was as unbounded as that of the white troops. To them he ranked next to ‘Massa Linkum,” the liberator of their race, and, like their white comrades in arms, they were desirous of seeing what was lying across their path, far in the front. The old song was very appropriate in their case,— <°T won't be long ‘fore de orders—'fore de orders— Soon we’ll be a gittin’ °em—de orders to advance ; Den eb’ry man in de column to his duty— Show what’s de value ob de chance.” PART II. IN CAMP AT ANNAPOLIS—CONTINUED. «All was prepared—the fire, the sword, the men To wield them, in their terrible array.”—-Ode on War. Near noon of April 13 every regiment in the Ninth Corps stood upon their color lines, where they were reviewed by Generals Grant and Burnside. Every man was dressed in a new suit of blue, and all his military bear- ing was exercised to its full capacity—head erect, eyes to the front, muskets polished till they shone like silver, equipments neatly blacked, and the brass plates on belts and cartridge-boxes, upon which were inscribed the initials of our illustrious uncle, brightened up with all the skill a well trained hand could give. Swiftly the officers galloped from regiment to regiment, reviewing the troops as they stood in line, thereby saving the time and trouble of the corps ‘‘ passing in review,” as is usu- ally done at such times. Probably, the fact that General Grant did not care about making such an ostentatious display of fine marching, flying of colors, flourishing of trumpets, and beating of drums, was the reason why he CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 271 did not have the corps pass in review; that part of the war had had its day with his predecessors, and was not to be repeated unless it was absolutely necessary. He wanted troops for the front, there to make a display with all the fire and fury of war; and, on the way to famous Richmond town, it was soon to be enacted. Those who never saw a military review in a time of war have indeed missed a grand spectacle. I say in a time of war, for all military displays in a time of peace amount to very little, except to attract the attention of the young ladies. A review, such as was seen in war times, caused one to be wrapt in amazement to see how still and erect twenty-five thousand—and sometimes more—men could stand in line, or a solid body; every movement being strictly in accordance with orders from the reviewing general, which were given in that peculiar voice that only the accustomed ear can understand. The movement known as ‘“‘ passing in review” is espe- cially fine. The troops, standing in a solid body, or in the marching column drawn out in long array, are one huge, beautiful mass of blue, as if a patch of sky had fallen to earth. Their muskets are tipped with bur- nished bayonets, and their flashing swords glisten in the sunlight; armor reflects armor. Countless thousands of disciplined men, with martial step and ears attuned to strenuous call of trumpet and drum, move with the preci- sion of machines, and the sway of the column in its uni- son of step gives a special grandeur to the living picture. Strength and force are most vividly portrayed there; as when, in the frenzy of battle, the Titans of old forged the keen-edged sickle of destruction in the red lightning’s flame. Well trained horses prance, champ the bit, and snort, seemingly with a thorough military knowledge, showing how well they love the excitement, pomp, power, and all the fine trappings of war,—evidently well 272 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. pleased that they too compose a part of the grand army that is to save the nation. Shining cannon, full of wrath, stand out in bold defiance, or, drawn by fiery steeds, pass along with a dull, heavy rumble. Upon those bat- tle-scarred war-dogs can be read the words Death and Destruction. How many pent-up thunders are sleeping within those tubes of steel and brass the next carnage will tell. A review presents a picture of a wonderfully exciting nature, and one that will never fade from the memory of those who have witnessed it. Ladies who have been present upon such occasions have been heard to remark, ‘‘T wish that I were a soldier.” Ifthe male population of the North had been blessed with as much patriotism as ‘*woman, weak woman,” Uncle Sam’s army would have been much larger than it was, and the war would not have lasted four long years. The grandest, the most exciting, and the most sublime of all military move- ments is that of an army advancing to battle. Their impetuous rush, their immeasurable strength, their fierce aspect and gigantic bulk, make ‘up a picture of heroic daring and resolve which none ever saw save those who composed the assaulting column. The sight of the old flag, the ‘‘invincible banner of the free,” at such a peril- ous moment, amid the smoke and tumult of battle, is one of rare beauty, and cannot be described. Now, as the veteran sees it peacefully waving from its high staff, how vividly the days of the ‘‘sixties”’ loom up before him, when he saw it waving in the blue, sulphurous smoke upon the field of conflict; and he remembers those of his comrades who so persistently fought for its maintenance and perished in the noble cause. Nor is this all: at the very thought of their desperate encounters and_hair- breadth escapes, he ‘‘ seizes his crutch, and shows how fields were won.” No spectators or reporters dared to CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 293 venture there. A more correct account would have been published in the papers, during our civil strife, had the latter ventured within the sound of the enemy’s guns. To the soldier, a review is a hard day’s work, one or two days usually being spent in making necessary preparations, cleaning guns and equipments, and going through all the movements in military tactics. When the day arrives, every regiment marches to the field with a slow and measured step, there to stand in the ranks, as still and erect as a monument, waiting for orders. The troops standing thus in the field execute every movement with a ‘*snap.” So perfect are all the evolutions, that to the observer they appear to move by machinery. This kind of work, in the closely wedged ranks for several hours, is very tiresome, especially on a warm day. The abundant rations issued to us at Annapolis were of the best quality, or about the same as at Newport News the year before. Newport News and Annapolis were the only places where full rations were ever issued to us. This was not the fault of the government, however, for that dealt honorably by every man in the army. When on a campaign, we did not expect to get full rations; if we succeeded in getting quarter rations we were doing well, as they could not be transported, but the deficiency should have been made good to us in money, which was never done. I well remember buying rations of the com- missary of a Michigan regiment while we were at Mill- dale, Miss., that-he had no right to sell, and who would or should have been reprimanded for so doing had it been reported. As a result of this, one or two hungry fel- lows were thus deprived of what justly belonged to them, and the money I paid went into the commissary’s pocket. While at Annapolis our rations were spiced with cake, pies, and fresh biscuits, that were sold in camp by pretty girls from Baltimore, who arrived on the morning train. 18 : 274 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. As a general thing, the prettiest girl succeeded in dispos- ing of her basket of wares first, at pretty good prices too. Who does not remember the cake and pie peddlers who flocked to camp, wherever we chanced to be, with baskets of peculiar shape filled with cakes, pies, biscuits, and ‘‘fresh biled eggs”? Who does not remember the old colored woman whom we always called ‘‘ Aunty”? They were all ‘‘ Aunties” as they came to our camp with their well filled baskets upon their heads, inviting us all to buy their ‘‘nice chicken-pie right from de oven.” Who does not remember rolling upon the ground with the colic in consequence of eating rich fruit-cake or hard-boiled eggs, and praying for a little of Perry Davis’s Pain-Killer? Pastry and cake were not adapted to a soldier’s life by any means, and when it came into camp richly made, as it did at Annapolis, we were obliged to eat sparingly of it, or suffer the consequences after luxuriating on hard- tack and boiled beef: hence the short way of speaking of it. There was another extreme, also, in the cake and pie business, right the reverse of the one just mentioned, where the pies were made with the shortening put in lengthwise, and were commonly called ‘‘sewed pies,” which could be rolled about camp without breaking. Falmouth pies, that were made and sold in that quaint old town in the winter of 1862-63, were made of mate- rial that no stomach but that of an ostrich could digest: they were like the shield of Ajax. There was little choice between eating a Falmouth pie and facing a rebel battery. Whether they were genuine Southern pies, such as were made ‘‘befo’ de wah,” I don’t know. While at Annapolis every man had a new suit of blue, equipments, knapsack, haversack, canteen, and all the paraphernalia of war. Ammunition was not issued until later, when we were encamped at Bristoe station within two days’ march of the enemy’s lines. We did have CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 275 twenty rounds per man, however, to use, should our ad- vance from Washington to Bristoe be opposed. General Grant changed the order of things somewhat, sending the ammunition by the wagon trains or by rail to Bristoe, in place of our relieving the teams as on former occa- sions. I can recall more than one instance where ammu- nition was piled on the men at the rate of sixty rounds per man, and sometimes more. When leaving our camp at Milldale for the march to Oak Ridge, in the rear of Vicksburg, the captain of Company E ordered quite a number of men, myself included, to carry eighty rounds, giving as a reason that the trains were overloaded and it would be too bad to waste it. Did we carry it? Yes, about twenty-five yards, when half of it was deposited at the roots of an old oak. A goodly number of the wives of the officers of the Eleventh Regiment visited the camp during our sojourn at Annapolis, and for the first time saw the tented field with all the pride and pomp of glorious war. To them their short stay was doubtless a pleasant one, and one that they will long remember. That form divine, the paymaster, made us a call, and disbursed the last payment to us before the opening of the campaign; but as the money would be of but little or no use where we were soon to go, the most of it was sent home. Overcoats and blankets were boxed up and sent to our homes also, as the day of our departure drew near. Letters were written and forwarded, telling those we loved that ere the white-winged missive could reach them we would once more be marching upon the soil of Old Virginia, where the conflict was soon to be renewed. During the last few days of our stay the camp grew “more noisy: work for the great event was rapidly coming to a head. The summoning drum, the shrill fife, and the air-shattering bugle gave dreadful notes of prepara- tion. From reveille until the hour for “taps,” the only 276 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. sound that greeted the ear, save the dashing railway trains that sped past, was ‘o* * * the trumpet’s clangor from afar, And all the dreadful harmony of war.” The line of dress-parade was beautifully blue,.and the polished muskets glittered in the fading sunlight. The forming of the line and the breaking up of the different regiments into companies at the close of the parade was what charmed the many admiring spectators. In just three weeks from that time those bright blue uniforms were smoke-stained and torn in the thickets of the Wil- derness; and there very many of those brave and fear- less men stacked their shining guns and rested forever. Camp stories were afloat at Annapolis, just as they al- ways had been wherever we had pitched our tents for a few weeks stay. Stories speculative as to when the war would probably end and we would return to our homes had long before passed away. That famous camp story was in its prime while we were at Falmouth: that mem- orable winter was spent in hatching up some kind of a camp rumor every day. A new song was sung while we were at Annapolis, to the effect that a large number of transports were lying near Alexandria waiting to take the Ninth Corps down the Potomac and up the James river, where the first blow would be struck. This was repeated day after day, each repetition adding to it some- thing new, until at last it found its way into the news- papers ; then the Richmond papers published it, as might be expected, and that caused General Lee to surmise that there might be some truth in the report. General Lee was not a little nonplussed as to where General Grant would go when he did move. The rumor was without doubt gotten up on purpose to deceive the enemy, and had the desired effect. General Grant says, in his CAMP LIFE AT ANNAPOLIS. 207 memoirs, that neither the war department nor General Burnside knew to the contrary until the last moment. There were, no doubt, a large number of transports lying in the vicinity of Alexandria at that time, but for what purpose they were intended I am unable to tell; but in all probability their mission was to deceive the enemy, as before stated; for there is ‘‘ policy in war,” and strategy in all its forms is often resorted to. General Lee was, as may be seen, rather outgeneralled to commence with, before the campaign was opened or the first gun fired, simply by a camp rumor. As he was listening for the sound of General Grant’s guns in the direction of Richmond while at Orange Court-House, the first thing he saw was Grant’s entire army, with flaming banners, in the dense wood of the Wilderness, not in transports, but upon their feet, in good fighting order; and for the first time the Confederate chieftain at the head of the army of Northern Virginia, stood before General Ulysses S. Grant at the head of the Fed- eral army. PART III. ANNAPOLIS TO ALEXANDRIA. The time approaches. —AZacbeth. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks.—Bzb/e. At noon on Saturday, the 29th day of April, the Ninth Corps left their pleasant encampment at Annapolis for the march to Alexandria, a distance of forty miles. We received orders on the afternoon of the day before, which was what we were anticipating ; and, notwithstanding the fact that we were once more to be deluged in fire and 278 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. blood, we hailed the news gladly,—expressing our im- plicit confidence in General Grant that he would be the conquering hero in the East as he had been in the West. Wild hurrahs were given for ‘‘ Uncle Sam” and << Presi- dent Lincoln,” as we stood in the company streets and on the color line. Very soon an indescribable military air pervaded the camp, as on all such occasions when a vigorous campaign is to succeed that of rest and quiet of the bivouac. Only those who have experienced the glory of a campaign can form any idea of this part of the story. That night there was a general outburst of revelry. Everything was, for a time, called into requisition that could make a noise, or was pulled to pieces and broken. It was a reminder of the last night we spent at Concord, before leaving our native state for the war. Piles of boxes and barrels were ablaze, producing a grand illu- mination under the dark but star-crowned heavens. Patriotic and mirthful songs were sung, and from camp to camp echoed ‘¢ The boisterous, midnight, festive clarion, The kettle-drum, and far heard clarinet.” The encampment at Annapolis was the last one the corps ever saw, when preparing for a campaign, and will, in all probability, be remembered as such by the survivors of that famous old corps. A part of the fore- noon of the 23d was passed in making a noise and in taking down our tents, which we rolled up and left upon the ground to be cared for by men who were employed for that purpose, after we had said good-bye to the encampment that would echo no more to our military step, and know us no more forever. We were provided with three days’ rations for the march, and at eleven o’clock we packed our knapsacks, rolled up our blankets BREAKING CAMP. 279 and strapped them upon the outside, and then sat down and joked, told stories, laughed, and waited for the order calling us to fall-into line and tramp on as before. Troops were to be seen in every direction, preparing to leave. The tents were all taken down, and stacks of bright guns glistened in the golden sunlight of the morn- ing. Drums were exceedingly noisy, fifes and bugles screeched their adieu to Annapolis, and patriotic songs were distinctly heard while we were rather impatiently waiting to be off for other green fields and pastures new. It was the last breaking up of camp ever witnessed by many, for they soon passed to where no marching orders were ever issued, and where the blast of the bugle would nevermore call them into line. It was precisely twelve o’clock when the marching host formed its line of blue stretched out in deep array and dreadful length, and rapidly moved away, presenting a spectacle once seen never to be forgotten. The weather was getting quite warm and summer-like; the forest trees were fast putting forth their leaves, and the apple and peach orchards were beginning to blush with blossoms. The undulating green fields stretched far away, clothed in brilliant green, upon which the feet of neither army had ever trampled. The groves rang with the songs of blithe birds, and nature wore her loveliest garb. Purling brooks, with rushy fringed banks that would have been a precious boon to us when soldiering in the cotton states, babbled along, making joyous music in their flow. . Pretty flowers were in bloom in many of the door-yards, that somehow reminded me of what I saw in Kentucky one year before. Rows of variegated tulips that lined the walks leading to the doors were excéed- ingly beautiful, but did not compare with the two lips that smiled upon us from the windows and doorways as we passed. Whether they were loyal smiles or not I did 280 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. not know ;—it is safe to predict, however, that only a small portion were. After resting in camp, as we had been doing the three weeks previous, we were a little out of practice—a little “¢ softened,” as we expressed it, and symptoms of spring fever were felt very perceptibly on the march; but as marching was an old pastime of ours, whereby the corps received the sobriquet of ‘* Burnside’s travelling menage- rie,” we had no fears but that we would very soon get used to the work and ready to be tossed about upon the fiery billows of war. The corps was marched at a very moderate step. Probably in all our marches since we first followed arms, which indeed were many, we never marched so leisurely as we did from Annapolis to Wash- ington. Halts by the wayside for rest were given at intervals, and, as L. expressed it, they were ‘ good- sized ones,” and when the sun dropped over the green hills and forests of Maryland a halt was made for the night. The remark was often made during the march that the officers were exceedingly gracious to us all at once; but without doubt it was an order from General Grant, or, as a ‘‘ sub” put it, ‘* an order from Grant hisself.” During the march of that lovely April afternoon, the Eleventh New Hampshire, with Colonel Walter Harri- man at their head, led the corps. The position of the regiment in the marching column made it very favorable for them, as every soldier knows; but as they were obliged to fall in the rear of the division the next day, the march was not as easy, but it was by no means tire- some. The overcoats and blankets which were thrown away on that march on account of the warm weather beggar all description, and would have astonished those living remote from the track of an army. A little past noon of the second day’s march I saw an old col- ored man with a horse and wagon gathering the scat- ON THE MARCH. 281 tered coats and blankets with the familiar «‘U. 8S.” in the centre. He had gathered nearly all he could pile on his rickety old wagon, and was wild with excitement over his streak of good luck. As the brigade was halt- ing for rest, I said to him, ‘‘ You seem to be doing a thriving business to-day, Uncle.” ‘Golly! yes,” was his reply. ‘+ Ye see de sojers hab done frowed: dese away, and I’s a pickin’ ’em up,I is. I neber seed de like befo’. De ole woman will hab plenty bedclose now, and lots fur to dress de chil’n;” and he laughed and chuckled with a great deal of satisfaction over what was to him a mine of wealth. ‘* Why don’t you enlist,” T inquired, ‘‘and join the colored troops who are in our rear?” ‘*Well, massa,” he answered, as he cast his eyes upon the ground as if studying the situation, ‘I ’spects I oughter; but when I tinks about facin’ dem big guns [pointing to ours] wid de peeked tings on de end fur to kill folks wid [bayonets], it somehow or udder takes de courage all out ob me.’’ A shiver passed over him as he uttered these words, which told how he real- ized the danger. A shout went up from the soldiers who were listening, in which the hero of coats and blankets joined. The question was then raised as to whether there were not a good many thousands up North with white faces who entertained about the same idea of the situation that the old darkey did. The second day of our march was Sunday. We moved very leisurely, and drank in all the beauties of nature, surrounded, as we were, by green fields and pleasant groves, while the warm sunlight and clear, bright skies beaming upon us allured us onward, and seemingly hal- lowed the day to gladness. The day was a calm one indeed, when compared with the many we had seen and were so soon to see again. In a village near which we passed we saw a flame-tipped church spire pricking 282 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. through a grove of trees, the bell calling the faithful to service, and many were wending their way thither. There was no Sunday for us. Our mission was calling’ us forward to where ‘life is lost, and victory won.” . At ten o’clock in the forenoon of the 25th, the third ‘day of our march, we reached Bladensburgh. We took off our boots and stockings, and with ‘‘ undressed feet,” as General Griffin called it, waded through the creek which flowed through the village, a tributary of the east branch of the Potomac. L. got mad and did some tall swearing because there was no bridge and never had been one; and, to all appearance, the people of the town were too shiftless to build one. The fear of its being destroyed by the hand of war need not have prevented them from so doing, for the Federal army had no dispo- sition to destroy property in Maryland, and the Confeder- ate army could not penetrate the state at that point. ‘‘Sell- ing niggers down South,” in ante-bellum days, was of more consequence than making public improvements. At two o’clock in the afternoon we halted at some distance from Washington, where we were informed that our entrance into and the march through the city was the all-absorbing topic of conversation among the citizens, who were boiling over with enthusiasm in antici- pation of the fine military display they should witness. So wild with excitement were they that they watched anxiously for our coming, long before the hour set for our arrival. Many climbed upon the house-tops, eager to catch the first glimpse of the long line of moving blue, or perchance see the dust rising in the direction of the approaching column,—for an army on the march raises a cloud of dust, and the roads were dry and dusty. About three o’clock many of the forts that defended the city once more appeared before us, and but very little, changed from what we saw them in our “salad ON THE MARCH. 283 days.” Grim cannon looked defiantly through the green tufted embrasures, while over each fort the old flag was gracefully waving its long, bright folds in the warm sunlight of that lovely afternoon. One moment more, and the spacious dome of the national capital, from which flags fluttered, stood in our front, appearing to ,give us a warm greeting after our long absence. This mag- nificent structure, as well as the city,.had long been a target for the Rebel army, as was. Richmond for the Federal army. With all the threats it had received from a people enraged by the fury of war, and the many hun- dreds and perhaps thousands of Southern sympathizers who lived almost under its shadow, and who would de- light in seeing it fall into rebel hands or be destroyed,— this black pall of treason hung over it like a huge curtain overshadowing our fair land. Nevertheless, with all the bitter epithets which had been poure@ upon it, the powder burned, and the lives lost in trying to capture it, *¢ Still it stands, A fortress formed to Freedom’s hands.” The sight of this noble edifice was the signal for order in the ranks. The long line was quickly straightened, and every step and movement at once toned down like that of a perfect working machine. Each regiment in the column had the appearance of a monster antediluvian reptile with myriads of blue legs. Then burst the Argent revelry, with all the rich panoply of war. The colors of every regiment in the corps, with heaven-born hues and stars that shone never to be erased by traitors’ hands, were unfurled, and triumphantly fluttered in the gentle breeze. Already, though far from the enemy’s lines, the corps was marshalled for battle, and through the long streets of the city were advancing to the step of soul-inspiring music, rich in steeds and brilliant trap- 284 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. pings, with sash, plume, helmets, scarf, shields, and all the blazonry of war. Swords, muskets, and bayonets flashed their silver lightning—flashed to a purpose grand along the bright blue line. Gallant steeds, with dis- tended nostrils, curved necks, and flowing manes, trod proudly on, while puffs of dust were raised as their iron- clad feet were firmly set upon the earth as though they were advancing to battle. The Capitolian dome, with all its loftiness, cupolas, and shining spires bathed in a flood of mellow sunshine, looked down upon the moving column reverently and compassionately. Liberty, from her enthroned position, bade us take courage, bade us God-speed: we fancied that we caught these words from her lips, ‘*’ The Union now and forever, one and inseparable.” Never in lofty dreams had Fancy’s ‘eye dwelt on such a scene of stately pageantry; the chivalrous magnificence blended in one scene of glory, formed to throw on memory’s page a never fading glow. Fair forms lent their gladdest smile, and white hands waved the advancing column on to vic- tory or a glorious tomb. «« The fair of form, the mild of mood, Did honor to the man of blood.” The many torn battle flags, bearing the inscriptions «¢ Antietam,” ‘‘ Fredericksburg,” ‘‘ Vicksburg,” and ‘* Jackson,” as well as other battles of the war, elicited a storm of cheers from the vast throng of peo- ple who filled the streets, doorways, windows, and covered the house-tops. Many of them, anxious for information as to just where we were going, caught hold of us as we marched past, asking, in a hurried and excited manner, ‘‘What regiment is this, and where are you going?” The crowding of the people upon the marching column caused the troops to break their step IN WASHINGTON. 285 for a moment, when they (citizens) were ordered to ‘‘fall back,” but, being wild with excitement, paid but little or no attention to the order. The number of men in the Ninth Corps at that time was a little over twenty thousand—a number indicating that the military parade of that day was no civic procession or Fourth of July affair. The corps entered the city on New York ave- nue, turning at the left into Fourteenth street, thence across Pennsylvania avenue, the great thoroughfare of the city, to the river. There had been a great many military parades in Washington since the outbreak of the war, but that of the 25th of April, 1864, far surpassed them all, and was. only exceeded by the grand review in that city at the close of the war. On the balcony of Willard’s hotel stood President Lincoln, viewing the troops as they passed. His face wore a look of extreme care and anxi- ety, as he steadily gazed upon the marching column— upon that corps of the great army which had responded to his call. Every regiment in turn gave him three rous- ing cheers as they passed. Well did he deserve the cheers that he received. Only one short year, and his. soul had flown to meet those who had died in defence of their country, and who were waiting to welcome him upon that distant and silent shore. The knowledge that. the army was upon the eve of battle, marching toward. the field of action where the waste of human life was once more to be realized and participated in by those who- were seen in the ranks on that lovely afternoon, and who had faced death many times before, as their tattered banners indicated, was what drew the vast multitude of people to witness the parade of the Ninth Corps in the streets of Washington that day. Verily, «¢ When our country’s cause provokes to arms, How martial music every bosom warms!” 286 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. The soldier in the ranks, too, was proud of his place in the line at such a memorable event, where the pride and pomp of glorious: war was made. manifest, notwith- standing the fact that grim death was lurking in our front, and that long marches, sleepless nights, hardships, | and exposures stared us in the face. The parade of that day was one long to be remembered in the history of the command to which we belonged. It was a parade not only of well disciplined men, with pennon, shield, and lance, and richly caparisoned steeds, but one upon which the eyes of a great nation looked with admiration and esteem—and yet with pity and sorrow, for, accord- ing to the circumstances of war, not many days would elapse before a very large number of those who were on parade that day would pass, amid the thunder of battle, to where ‘‘beyond these voices there is peace.” Our rapid step soon took us through the thronged city to the river, and very soon we were crossing Long Bridge. The first time we crossed that famous bridge, which was on the afternoon of the 17th of September, 1862, we merrily sang ‘‘Dixie;” it was also sung by us on that afternoon, while many who joined the chorus at the first crossing were sleeping in soldiers’ graves far away. As we again stepped upon the sacred soil of old Vir- ginia, there before us were the forts that formed a part of the defences of Washington. They were very famil- iar to us, as the Eleventh Regiment encamped under their shadow in the early fall of 1862. There was Fort Richardson on the hill, with its two lines of well made abattis in front, and heavy guns pointing their deadly muzzles southward with a defiant look, while the signal flag was waving from its staff on the parapet just as it used to wave. There, too, were forts Albany, Berry, Rey- nolds, Craig, Barnard, McPherson, Scott, and frowning Runyon: ‘These outlines marked by many a black ON SACRED SOIL AGAIN. 287 columbiad on its trunnion.” The sun was now fast sink- ing below the green-wooded hills of the ‘Old Domin- ion,” throwing a mellow light on field, forest, and river, transforming the long moving line of blué to black, kiss- ing the great white dome of the Capitol with a warm good-night. ‘‘And glanced on flowing flag and rippling pennon, And the white sails of ships ; And from the frowning ramparts, the black cannon Hailed it with feverish lips.” Just at nightfall, in a valley south of Fort Richardson and a short distance north of Alexandria, we encamped for the night, and remained there the next day and night in order to draw rations, and drive the last spike prepar- atory to the march toward the interior of Virginia, and once more and for the last time to shout ‘©On to Richmond.” CHAPTER IX.

Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war.—Fudius Caesar. Near noon, on the 27th of April, the long line of blue was again formed, and we were once more on the march with our faces turned toward the interior of the state, with Richmond and victory as our watchword. Soon after eight o’clock that morning General Burnside rode through the camp, cheering up the troops. We were not drooping by any means, as my sketches have shown; but the presence of the commanding general is always encouraging to the troops, especially when on the eve of battle. Every regiment in the corps gave him three hearty cheers as he rode from regiment to regiment bareheaded, there being no time to put on his hat be- tween the cheers, thereby displaying that bald head of his, which we all so well remember. The corps had made this short stop, from the night of the 25th to the morning of the 27th, in order to draw rations, which we did that morning before leaving for the day’s march. From the hour of our departure from Alexandria the great campaign was virtually begun with the Ninth Corps, but the great forward movement of the entire army was not made until the 4th of May. ‘The corps ALEXANDRIA TO FAIRFAX. 289 throughout was in excellent fighting trim. Probably we never fell into line for a march, or at the beginning of a campaign, with better spirits and with surer feeling that success would crown our work at last, than we did on that sunny April morning which was fast rounding into summer. We well knew that a long series of des- perate and bloody encounters was soon to be met, in which we were to cut our way out with the weapons of war. It has often been asked how it was that troops could march to meet death and suffering with such light hearts and seemingly so eager for the fray, knowing, as they did, what war was, and what suffering there was on the battle-field. I can answer this in no other way than by quoting the old distich, «* Why should we be melancholy, boys? Our business ’tis to die.” In the War of the Rebellion, however, the Federal army took strength and courage from the aphorism, ‘¢ Thrice armed is he who hath his quarrel just.” As the long line of blue marched up the heights, a little to the west of Alexandria, the eye rested on a pict- ure of exquisite beauty for miles in extent. It was a gigantic panorama of city, town, country, forest, and river, battlemented towers, castle gates, flanking earthworks, and all necessary defences against an assaulting enemy. The fields lay far away clothed in the green of spring- time; the forests were fast putting on their summer attire, fresh from the hand of the Giver; the hills of Maryland and Pennsylvania stood in all their grandeur, leaning against the clear blue sky, and were the last objects we saw on the free side of the North. The spires of Georgetown pointed their golden tips through the new foliage of the trees, and the many forts that 19 290 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. defended the capital were seen in an almost unbroken circle around the city, with the old flag floating from their parapets in the golden sunlight. The city lay quiet in the broad valley, hugging the river, while the great white dome of the capitol glistened in the morn- ing’s sheen, above the broad Potomac that washed the great valley, traces of which could be seen far away, shining like a mirror hemmed in by groves of pine. Below Long Bridge. it flowed lazily along, its surface ruffed here and there by a steamboat or a slow trans- port. Who of the veterans of that terrible war will ever for- get the name Potomac? I venture to say, Not one: there seems to be no word so deeply associated with the war, nor one that will live longer in the soldier’s memory. When the eyes of the veteran, dim with years, shall chance to rest upon that name in newspaper, book, or map, his thoughts will most assuredly go back to the days when he soldiered in defence of his country near that hill made historic by the war. Never will the veteran see the names Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, Rappahannock, Rapidan, and Wilderness without recalling memories of war days fresh to mind; nor will the name Potomac ever appear in print, or be heard from the lips of orators, without bringing to mind those terrible days of the civil strife he experienced, when for four long years hostile armies encamped on either shore along the winding course of that noted river. Yes, we all remember that river,—as though it were but yesterday that our feet measured the miles of the shore when on the march; when bristling bayonets gleamed in the sunlight, glaring camp-fires lighted the heavens at night, and great redoubts were thrown up through which black cannon and brass howitzers looked boldly and saucily. War letters have become household treasures, ALEXANDRIA TO FAIRFAX. 291 and children love to listen to the story, and have even themselves learned to recount the exploits on the Potomac in the long ago. ‘The green fields dotted with white tents, the troops on drill and parade, the clat- ter of horsemen, the roll of the drum, the screech of the fife that even now sets us all on fire, the dead silence of the night broken only by the sharp voice of the senti- nel on the lonely picket post, and the rush of the river over its rocky bed, are all reminders of those days which will remain forever in our memories. There, as on the Rappahannock, Rapidan, and Mississippi, upon grassy knolls under the trees, were made the graves of either army, and there they remain to-day, decorated each year by an unseen hand with the choicest flowers of spring. In countless homes ‘‘ away back in the sixties” there were partings and tears: patriotic mothers kissed their boys, buckled on their armor, and with swimming eyes and aching hearts watched them out of sight to join the ranks of blue. Many of these noble mothers have long since passed away, but we can still hear their last pray- ers to God for the salvation of the country. ‘«He has gone, and I have sent him! I have buckled on his sword. I have bidden him strike for Freedom, ' For his country,—for the Lord. Life itself is but a lending: . He that gave perchance may take. If it be so, I will bear it Meekly for my'country’s sake.” Not far distant, and through the woodlands at our left on the banks of the broad river, was Mount Vernon, the only place in the state that escaped the ravages of war. Out of respect to the silent dust which reposed there, neither tomb nor mansion was defaced by vandal hands, not a tree, shrub or flower destroyed during the long 292 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. and terrible conflict. The hero who was resting there, free from war’s alarms, once drew his sword to establish the principles we were then battling to maintain. On the heights just south from Alexandria, as the bri- gade was halted for a few minutes, I looked back, as far as the eye could reach, upon the mountains and plains of the free North, made free by our ancestors, who long before fought for liberty and right. Memories of Bun- ker Hill, Lexington, Ticonderoga, Yorktown, and Val- ley Forge, names of glory, deeds which once stirred the hearts of men, appeared before my vision. Long ago did our noble forefathers meet the foe on those historic fields: their names are written on Fame’s glowing por- tal. In dying they bequeathed those liberties to our vilgiance and protection. As I turned from the inspiring view, the long line again moving forward, the beautiful, patriotic lines of our own dear poet flashed through my mind: ‘«Is this the land our fathers loved? The freedom which they toiled to win? Is this the soil whereon they moved? Are these the graves they slumber in? Are we the sons by whom are borne The mantles which the dead have won?” When passing two or three of the forts that formed the outer line of defence atthe extreme southern part of the heights, the troops stationed there came out and cheered us heartily; they wished us good success in the great work before us, and earnestly hoped that our cry of ‘*On to Richmond” might be more successful than the many which had preceded it. As they scanned the long, moving column, their faces seemed to betray the wish of their hearts, that they might go into active service in the field where they could experience something of a soldier’s life, than remain there and guard the forts ALEXANDRIA TO FAIRFAX. 293 which at that time were in no imminent danger; never- theless, if they were left behind to guard forts, they did their duty as well as those who marched and fought in the field. Before summer was ended these troops, or most of them, were ordered to the front, where they very soon ‘saw the elephant” with all his fierceness, and, before September’s sun arose, they doubtless wished from the bottom of their hearts that they were back on Arlington Heights guarding forts. In our front, and a little to the left of our line of march, stood Fairfax Sem- inary, then occupied as a hospital, and which from its high position could be seen for many miles: standing there as it did, it appeared to be the last outpost of civil- ization. Behind us the stars and stripes were floating as of old, while in our front hostility was arrayed against everything pertaining to the preservation of the Union, and even the ground upon which we marched seemed hostile: every person was an enemy. We moved on- ward with a steady step that meant business. The march was not rapid by any means: it was slow and sure. It was a little faster than that between Annapolis and Washington, but was not to be compared to our former marches, nor to those we were soon to see again. We were fast ‘closing up” on the army of the Potomac, then lying near the Rapidan. This slow and steady march soon took us from the sight and sound of anything having the semblance of patriotism, and in three hours’ time the spire of Fairfax Seminary was the last object which I saw within the Union lines as I looked back over the road whence we came. Ah! thought I, just what awaits us away in our front we do not fully know; but in the dim dis- tance we saw the first black clouds of the coming storm gathering, which ere long were to culminate in an inde- scribable cyclone of shot and shell, crossing of swords, 294 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. death at the cannon’s mouth, and a general lighting of the torch of war. Let it come, said we; that’s just what we enlisted for ;—and very soon all thoughts of war were forgotten. The day was one of the best. The sun shone quite warmly, although it was not oppressive, and halts were occasionally made that somehow gave the impres- sion that they would be less frequent and the marching more rapid as we neared the enemy. We passed many farm-houses occupied by women only, just as we had often seen them at other places in the state, especially in the fall of 1862, and as we had found them ‘‘ away down Souf in de land ob cotton.” From their windows they gazed upon us with a sour, unfriendly look, as much as to say, ‘“‘You’uns will catch it when you meet our army ”—an expression often used by Southern ladies, and which many times contained more truth than poe- try. As the tide of war in all its horrid forms had rolled past their doors ever since the beginning of the strife— first the Confederate and then the Federal army—the desolation it had wrought beggared all description. What the poor mortals subsisted upon from day to day God only knew, unless it was the air they breathed. The hen-roosts had long been a stranger to fowls of every kind; geese and turkeys had long before taken their departure; cattle, sheep, and hogs had been driven before the bayonet to satisfy the hunger of both armies, until there were none left; and as for raising any crops, that was certainly out of the question, as they would have been trampled under foot by both of the great armies. A little tobacco growing near the houses, and the Virginia creeper and morning-glory climbing beside the doors and windows, were about the only things I saw under cultivation. In many places the dwellings had been burned, and the owners were living in the negro cabins, ALEXANDRIA TO FAIRFAX. 295 the darkies making their homes in the barns and what there was left of the out-buildings, or else had left ‘‘ Ole Virginny” for the North. Words are inadequate to express the devastation we saw in the South, especially in Virginia. The suffer:ngs and privations which the peo- ple of that state endured for four long years are terrible to think of. How they lived through itis more than I can tell. ‘‘Their country desolate and overthrown by strangers, her gates lamented and’ mourned, and she, being desolate, sat upon the ground.” The march during the latter part of the afternoon was on the road leading from Washington to Fairfax, over which, in ante-bellum days, the reigning belles of Vir- ginia rode in gay attire, with their dashing escorts, on fine saddle-horses. The road was broad and smooth, very much like the Kentucky turnpikes, and was shaded for a long distance by maples, elms, and a few grand old oaks, which had escaped the battle-axe; and now and then a huge pine towered its dark green dome above its forest companions. About six o’clock we reached Fairfax Court House, a village truly typical of Virginia, presenting a very untidy appearance, and which, like all villages in the state, had long been in the embraces of war. The ancient court- house, of curious architecture and where General Wash- ington once attended court, was the only object of inter- est that I saw. The few remaining inhabitants rushed to the doors, eager to see a corps of ‘¢ Old Grant’s” army pass. They stood like so many stone posts, and gazed upon us with a cold, indifferent look; but somehow to me their appearance indicated that they were consid- erably alarmed for the safety of the Confederacy. We made no halt in the gloomy, melancholy town nearly trampled into the dust by the feet of contending armies, but marched on a few miles farther, and’ encamped for 296 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. the night to the left of the road upon the most uneven piece of ground that could possibly be found. “There, with tents hastily put up but sufficient to protect us from the heavy dews, we rested from that day’s march of the campaign. PART V. FROM FAIRFAX TO BRISTOE. The morning of April 28 dawned clear and pleasant, and the troops were early astir. Knapsacks were packed, and everything was put in readiness for the day’s march. Coffee was made, and the few hardtacks that consti- tuted breakfast,1 disposed of. As we sat picking our teeth and speculating on the day’s march, Colonel Har- riman passed along, and, bidding us good-morning, cheerfully said, in that familiar way of his which so well characterized him, ‘‘ Boys, we shall see before noon that somewhat famous stream known as Bull Run.” We all had a great desire, at least I had, to see that stream, made so famous by the first battle of the war and whose name that will long survive. The corps was very soon in line again, and, like an immense serpent, was seen moving rapidly.along the winding, uneven roads, over which the Juggernaut of war had so often passed, while the. changing light produced a fine effect all along the column. Guns, bayonets, and the still brilliant uniforms and equipments for a moment glistened in the sun,—then all was obscured by the shadows. We were ‘not long in reaching Centreville, a small collection of poor-looking houses, which, like Bull Run, became somewhat historic in the early part of the war, and later had grown very dilapidated by the almost*con- stant passing of both armies and by much encamping in * Breakfast in the army is called “ pease on a trencher.” FAIRFAX TO BRISTOE. 297 its vicinage. We, however, passed a little to the left of the war-worn burgh. Long lines of grass-grown rifle-pits, and great redoubts much larger than the little town ever was, were to be seen on every hand, the most of which had been made by the Confederates in the early part of the war. It was over this road that the Federal army marched when on their way to the battle of Bull Run, and it was also the one over which they ‘‘ skedaddled” for Washington in their hasty and disorderly retreat. If the stones by the wayside could have told their story of the march to and the retreat from the battle-field,—soldiers, as well as citizens and congressmen who went down to that little creek to spend Sunday and have some sport,— it would have been a remarkable one indeed. The battle of Bull Run was without a parallel in the whole war. Yet, great fiasco as it was, it did accom- plish a few things, all of which proved beneficial in the end, perhaps. It brought the Southern officers to the front, and indicated who their greatest generals in the war were to be; it told the North, in very plain words, that the Southern army was in the field for the purpose of fighting, just as they had declared again and again; and it also taught the Northern army that war was no boys’ play, neither a school let out, nor a grand frolic, gotten up for the purpose of letting them travel about and see a portion of this great and glorious country at ‘‘ Uncle Sam’s” expense, as many, or the most of them, had anticipated it was to be. Near Centreville an old colored man approached us as we were halting by the roadside, and addressed us thus: ‘*I spects ye’s going fur de rebels now!” We informed’ him that we were on that mission, when he said with considerable emphasis, ‘‘It’s about de last chance, I reckon!” The old man was right: there was a good deal of truth in those words just at that time. It 298 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. was the last chance for either Grant or Lee: ‘it was now or never.” At about noon we reached Bull Run at a point known as Mitchell’s ford. We removed our boots and stockings and waded through the stream, which was from two to three feet deep: so famous had ‘that creek become, we felt that we were wading through Jordan., We then passed over a part of the field which was held by the Union forces at the time of the battle on that memorable July day. It was then almost three years since the bat- tle, and scattered upon the ground were broken guns, wagon and artillery wheels, pieces of caissons, rusty canteens, cartridge-boxes, partly decayed equipments, and the whitened bones of the once fleet war-horse, all of which marked the lonely scene of conflict and hate. The field at our right was covered with a growth of scrub oak and pine, the most of which had sprung up since the battle. The ground was very uneven, and, like so many other places in that state, was made to fight great battles upon. A halt of one hour for dinner! was made near the McLean house, a large brick structure of Virginia archi- tecture, standing upon an elevation of land, from the up- per windows of which a part of the battle-field was easily seen. This building had been General Beauregard’s head- quarters at the time of the battle. We filled our canteens from a nice spring near the house, and proceeded on our way southward. A march of one hour brought us to the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, which was closely guarded by troops, as all the supplies for the Army of the Potomac had been sent over that road during the fall and winter of 1863 and 1864. The troops guarding the road cheered us heartily as we passed, and earnestly inquired where we were going. ‘‘That’s what all would 1 Dinner in the army is called “roast beef.” FAIRFAX TO BRISTOE. 299 like to know,” was the only answer we could give them. About three o’clock we arrived at Manassas, which is only a few miles south of the battle-field. The name of Manassas was so long before the minds of everybody in the days of 1861 that the name will never fade from the memories of the war. Earthworks of immense size were to be seen all around on the old encampment. But Gen- eral Grant had no desire whatever for the Ninth Corps to halt and plant the old flag upon those old evacuated works of the enemy as we marched past. His ambition was to plant the national colors on the elevation south of the dismal Wilderness, then in possession of the enemy. It was no wonder that the old colored woman, who had seen many thousands of Federal troops pass her lowly cabin, one day asked one of the soldiers in the marching column, ‘Did all you’uns hab mudders?” After a steady march of two hours from Manassas Junction, over a country once prosperous but then devas- tated by war, we were halted at Bristoe Station on the Occuquan river, sometimes called Broad Run. The corps remained in camp there for five days, and during the time did considerable target practice, preparatory for what was soon to come. Our encampment was on the north side of the river, and upon the ground where a good deal of skirmishing and fighting had taken place at different times since 1861, as that part of the state was almost constantly being fought over during the long years of the war. The camp was one continual hum and bustle, as is usual just before an engagement, pre- senting an appearance vastly different from that of ordi- nary camp life, and one that I cannot well describe. But my old comrades will recall it very vividly, I dare say, and, in musing over those days of long ago, will again hear and see the noise and activity of the camp, the waters of the Occuquan as they foamed over the 300 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. rocky bed while we sat by our tents at eventide under the starry canopy, enjoying a smoke from the briar or laurel pipe, and discussing coming events. What work remained to be done in the way of preparation for the forward movement was attended to. The general ap- pearance of the camp indicated that we were nearing the day of action; the finishing touches were put on, and everything was in readiness to strike the blow. From generals’ down to privates’, no hand was idle there. ‘¢From the smoky night encampment bore the banner of the rampant unicorn, And grummer, grummer, grummer rolled the roll of the drummer Through the morn.” Our next march would in all probability bring the opposing armies in conflict, and the clash of resound- ing arms would again shake the hills of old Virginia. Well could we say with blind old Homer, «* Black fate hangs o’er thee, and thy hour draws nigh, Even now on life’s last verge I see thee stand.” We washed our faces and drank from Occuquan, arrang- ing our toilets upon the grassy bank, and in the shade of the maple, elm, and ash trees wrote the last missives to our homes that we were permitted to write for some time. Many were the letters sent to fathers and moth- ers, telling them that we were waiting, just waiting, for the order to advance, and asking them to ‘¢Pray, oh! pray most earnestly, that Heaven may for us care.” It was the last time that many of my comrades were per- mitted to write, for ere there was another day of rest they had paid a soldier’s debt, and passed beyond the tide of battle, beyond the smiling and the weeping. BRISTOE TO BEALTON. 301 Letters were received from our homes, just before we left Bristoe, containing loving and cheering words, and assuring us that in the great work then lying in our front «¢Mothers shall pray for you, fathers shall bless you; Maidens shall weep for you when you are gone.” PART VI.

Now for the rebels.—ichard J/. From the day that the Ninth Corps left Bristoe to the day that General Lee surrendered, it was nothing but war, red war, with all its fury, in which life and property were ruthlessly wasted, and neither tongue nor pen can tell the story. At1:15 on the morning of May 4, Gen- eral Grant telegraphed to General Burnside from Ger- mania ford to make a forced march until he reached that place. The Army of the Potomac, which had passed the winter in the vicinity of Bealton, Rappahannock, and Brandy stations, about twenty miles in our front, having received marching orders the day before, was already moving. This was the first general movement of troops : it was the first order issued by General Grant on the war- beaten and blood-stained-soil of Virginia, where the Fed- eral army had so often been repulsed. The order ina concise point of view was this one word ‘‘ Forward !”— short, decisive, and characteristic of the cool head of the silent man who issued it. From that very day, while 302 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. forcing our way with ball and blade over every foot of the ground between the Rapidan and the James, every order Grant issued for the movements of troops was this one word ‘‘Forward!” and short though it was, it surely contained volumes of power; the echo rolled far away, and, like the first shot fired at Concord in the early days of the Revolution, was ‘‘heard ’round the world.” It was the inextinguishable spark which fired the souls of patriotic soldiers, nerving them for the coming onset; it caused a feeling of restlessness and apprehension to pervade the enemy’s camp, for a forward movement of the Federal forces under General Grant, who had been victorious on many fields and had never lost a gun, and who had his army thoroughly organized for the coming campaign with only a few weeks’ preparation, was like the explosion of a mighty bomb within the enemy’s lines. The enemy, within their intrenchments just south of the Rapidan, were alert and watchful, yet they seemed at a loss to know just when and where their adversary would make his first move, while the rank and file made sport over the campaign very much at their own expense. The jest in their camp at that time was, ‘‘ Boys, there’s no more easy times for us; "pears like old Grant is after us.” The Confederate commanders considered them- selves masters of the situation, as they had had things about their own way in Virginia from the first, and after three years of fighting did not propose to be baffled by the ‘‘ Illinois tanner,” as their Northern allies called him. Their different army corps were thoroughly reorgan- ized, and were considered in good fighting condition, as they afterwards proved themselves to be, their command- ers being confident that they could easily play their old- time movements on Grant and cut him all to pieces. General Lee was their tower of strength, and, after rest- BRISTOE TO BEALTON. 303: ing all winter, the corps commanders appeared upon the scene like giants refreshed, and made a bold declara- tion (or the Richmond papers did for them) that “A sword, a sword is sharpened and also furbished; it is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter;” and again they reminded the ‘“‘ Yanks” that both the Rappahannock and the Rapidan were gap- ing to swallow them up. The chivalrous Lee, standing upon the ramparts of his mighty camp, and facing the invincible Grant, his flashing sword in hand, thus voiced the sentiments of the warrior,— *«So, Trojan! these the fields, this the Italy—which thou hast sought in war, which at last Thou measurest with thy length! this the reward— They win, who dare cross swords with me.” Did General Grant make any reply to all this? There is no record of any whatever, but had he been pressed for a reply, he would, in all probability, have knocked the ashes from his cigar, and coolly have said, ‘‘ Very likely.” Everything was done that could be done within the enemy’s lines, to inspire their soldiers and spur them on to victory. The commanding officers addressed the ranks of the butternut and gray, urging them to stand fast, be of good courage, and ‘‘ Let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people and our homes.” The Southern ladies, who were brimful of fight, sent cheering words to the troops, begging them to ‘‘be strong and coura- geous.” Thus the great campaign opened, with all the bitter hatred and fierceness that it is possible to imagine. Per- haps no better description of it can be given than to say that at the step of either army the ground shook with a roar. At ten o’clock a. m., Wednesday, May 4, the long and ever deepening lines of the Ninth Corps were again 304. ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. formed. The signal to ‘‘fall in” was rattled from the drums and blown from the mouths of heroic bugles in- war-like notes not to be misunderstood. The order was quickly caught up by the brigade and regimental com- manders, then by the company commanders, until the air of that May morning echoed and reéchoed with mil- itary orders, with the neighing and stamping of horses and the click and clatter of weapons, while the bright sun looked down upon- countless thousands of armed men, swiftly forming in ranks of war. The sound to us was more significant and war-like than ever before. The hour of conflict was near at hand. To us it meant long marches, sleepless nights, and hot work in the face of the enemy. We saw the situation very clearly, and well knew that from the time we left Bristoe we were reaching out to grapple with the enemy, who were then ready to move in order to check our advance upon or in the direction of Richmond. The different divisions and brigades were quickly formed, and were soon moving quietly yet rapidly away. General Stevenson's Division led the corps, followed by Potter’s and Willcox’s, while Ferrero’s Colored Division in the rear guarded the trains. On that historic May day the Federal forces were stretched at intervals from Bris- toe vza Germania ford to Old Wilderness tavern, and via Ely’s ford to Chancellorsville, fifty miles distant. They were composed of four infantry and one cavalry corps, numbering, in all branches of the service, one hundred thousand men. General Sheridan, with two divisions of cavalry, led the infantry columns, crossing the Rapidan at Germania ford. The Fifth Corps, General Warren commanding, followed, leading the infantry advance on the right, marching rapidly yet cautiously to Old Wilderness tavern. The Sixth Corps, General Sedgwick commanding, succeeded the Fifth BRISTOE TO BEALTON. 305 Corps. The Second Corps, General Hancock command- ing, moved to the left, crossing the river at Ely’s ford and advancing directly to Chancellorsville. The Ninth Corps, General Burnside commanding, followed the Fifth and Sixth Corps, though at some distance in their rear. The artillery, a large and well equipped arm of the ser- vice, was commanded by General Hunt. The ambu- lance trains followed their respective corps, while the wagon-trains brought up the rear. Drawn out in deep array and dreadful length, trampling over green fields, along the dusty roads, through shady groves, and across shining streams, then following along the swift Rapidan and crossing at points designated, moved the great Union army, pressing forward where their chief chose to lead. It was a mighty army and a grand movement. Offi- cers of high rank, including General Grant, have so expressed their opinion; there appear to be no other words so apt and forcible. It was the flower and chiv- alry of the North, with spears and torches uplifted, sounding the tocsin of war. Borodino, Marathon, Tra- falgar, or Waterloo did not witness a more resolute and determined army. Fearlessly they pressed forward, with all the force and power of a mighty current, their purpose being the perpetuity of the Union, and that not one star should be erased from the old flag. It was indeed a mighty army just at the outset of battle, ready to grapple with another mighty army, going where red battle stamps his foot, and where death rides upon the sulphury sirocco. It was an army the like of which was never before seen on American soil, and was first in the race that led to glory’s goal. It was an army that Alex- ander, Hannibal, or Napoleon would have aspired to command: one as thoroughly organized and equipped they never led to battle. 20 306 : ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. General Grant had predicted at the outbreak of the war that if the Rebellion were put down at all ‘it must be stamped out.” It looked that day very much as though the stamping out was about to begin. Beyond the Rapidan, beyond dark forests and green fields, an- other mighty army, vigilant and watchful, was rapidly moving parallel with the Federal army, preparing to check their advance. They held the bow and the lance; they rode upon horses, or marched upon the narrow, uneven, and war-beaten roads of that sparsely settled and wooded country. Their yell echoed through the wood, and over field and dell, as they left their camp and moved rapidly away in a south-easterly direction. Can- non, with inflamed lips, mouths begrimed with English powder, and with blood-shot eyes, peered into the forests, straining every nerve to catch the glimpse of a ‘‘ Yank.” Sullen drums and angry bugles gave out their defiant notes of warning, and the stars and bars, an ensign no- where recognized on the face of the earth, flapped its folds madly and insultingly in the free winds of heaven. That army was marching forth to battle, animated by the same spirit once so powerfully manifested in the halls of congress when the Missouri Compromise was repealed, and all over the plains of Kansas when that territory was knocking for admission to the Union as a free state. That army was marching for the supremacy of the slave power, and for a speedy dissolution of the Union, whereby eleven stars would be erased from the old flag which was known on every shore and in England. That army, arrayed in butternut and grey, was armed with every conceivable weapon that could possibly kill or wound. When the flames of war were first kindled, the able-bodied men of the South were appealed to by their leaders to “Arm! Arm for a fight! Reverse the prophecy of the good old prophets, and use BRISTOE TO BEALTON. 307 any weapon at hand.” On some fields pikes were sub- stituted for bayonets, and shots from. squirrel rifles often greeted our ears, while, in the campaign of which I am now writing, harrow teeth were used to feed insatiate cannon. England showed her sympathy for secession and rebellion by sending over a supply of explosive bullets. : Their wagon and ambulance trains, with dirty, torn, and flapping covers, presented a very dilapidated appear- ance. Some of them were two-wheeled vehicles, and long before reaching Richmond many of them had no wheels, and were drawn along upon an improvised sort of drag. They were in no way to be compared with the nice, white covered wagons which followed the Federal army, well laden with supplies; while the ambulances were palaces on wheels, when compared with the rickety old carts, with wooden axles and linch-pins, which were used to convey the Confederate wounded to the rear. When the secession movement was inaugurated, the military men of the South, who were ‘‘ superior to North- ern men in the art of war,” laid their plans to do all of the fighting near Mason and Dixon’s line. The colored people were to raise provisions for the support of the army, brush away the flies while the army were ‘enjoying their rations, and throw up the required earth- works, should any be needed; consequently there would be no use for wagon and ambulance trains, and the army could put in all of their time in peppering the Yankees, and wiping the North as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. Somehow or other, the great War of the Rebellion, though mapped out by ‘‘ able military men,” did not run along as smoothly as it was planned when the ordinance of secession was passed at Charleston, S.C. The rank and file of that rapidly moving army were;bidden by mothers, 308 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. by wives, and by all the fair daughters of ‘‘ Dixie,” to be valiant, bend the bow, shoot at the hireling horde, and spare no arrows, assuring them that an arm of flesh only is with the Yankee invaders, while the God of bat- tles is with us. What the Confederate army lacked in the conveniences of modern warfare they made up in a determined fight, resolved to make the most of what they had. Boldly and fearlessly they pressed forward to intercept the Federal army, selecting the field upon which the first great battle of the campaign was to be fought—not one that any one familiar with would have chosen, but where the shadows of the wilderness thick- ened, and where a ray of sun scarcely penetrated—an isolated region, familiar to the Confederate Thor and his hosts, but wholly unknown to the Federal com- mander. } But to return to the Ninth Corps. Could those who lived remote from the scene of war’s dreadful clang and tumult have seen the troops as they moved away from Bristoe that morning, they would have witnessed a spec- tacle never to be forgotten. I had never before realized what it was to be a soldier in defence of my country. The troops were apparently as happy and’ as full of life as the sweet songsters of the grove. They had some days before written their good-byes to their friends at home, and on that morning started on a campaign that will never fade from the annals of history, in which death was to hold high carnival. We did, however, think of home and friends who were far away, but just then it was for us to nerve for the coming onset, make bright the arrows, gather the shields, trust in God, and keep our powder dry. We were then fast nearing the interior. of the enemy’s country, battle scarred and desolate Virginia, and who of us would be so fortunate as ever to return was not BRISTOE TO BEALTON. 309 easy to conjecture. We had long before learned that the charms of war were not very flattering ; nevertheless we merrily marched away southward to where the great cloud of war was fast gathering, and as merrily we sang the old song, one so familiar to the Eleventh Regi- ment,— «« The army is gathering from near and from far ; The trumpet is sounding the call for the war ; For Grant is our leader; he’s gallant and strong ; We'll gird on our armor and be marching along.” Notwithstanding the fact that we knew so well what life in a campaign was—days that tried our souls and nerves to their utmost tension—yet there was not a man but what was eager to press forward to see what was awaiting us at the front, and at what point General Grant would strike the first blow, for we had no idea whatever where we were going. We were well aware, however, that it was the first morning of what was to be a severe campaign, and that we were making one grand and rapid movement southward; but just where we might meet the vigilant foe, measure swords, pull the trigger, smell powder amid the dreadful flashings, and listen to the voice of warning from the cannon’s mouth, we were, as one can readily imagine, rather impatient to know. We had not proceeded very far on our way before we were made acquainted with the fact that the march was not going to be boy’s play by any means. It was indeed a ‘‘forced” one, and the probabilities were that in the campaign the threshold of which we were then cross- ing, no moderate marches lay in waiting for either the Federal or Confederate armies. It was to be a repeti- tion of the old-time marches in Kentucky and Missis- sippi, only a deal more so, thoroughly seasoned with sleepless nights, with the throwing up of earthworks, and 310 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. with desperate fighting such as had never been experi- enced in any campaign of the war. Moderate marching, and ‘‘falling back for supplies” after an engagement, were then things of the past. A FORCED MARCH. These words were often used by newspaper corre- spondents in war time, and writers of ability have from time to time used them in writing war reminiscences, but have fallen far short of describing what a forced march really is, and have conveyed little idea to their readers of this hard work in a soldier’s life. Had I not experienced a forced march in more than one cam- paign of our civil strife, I certainly would never have known just what it was from what I have read. De- scribing a forced march is much like telling how one feels when going into battle. Writers often make the attempt, and the next moment go off talking about some- thing else, and there the matter rests. Those not familiar with war have but little knowledge of a forced march, and fail to see just where it comes in; they imagine it is rather fast walking, perhaps, and that is all. The vet- eran soldier knows all about it—knows more than he can tell; and those who, perchance, may read this sketch, and follow me closely from the time the Ninth Corps left Bristoe until it reached the Wilderness, I think will fully understand what a forced march was in war time. They will very readily see that there was no loitering and having a jolly time by the wayside, like children playing truant when returning from school. At the same time, I will try and refresh the memory of my old comrades concerning those days of extreme peril A FORCED MARCH. 311 and hardship through which we passed that the nation might live. We were in fine condition for marching. A glance at the moving column that day would have convinced the doubting that we were not beginners at the business. What did we carry? There was a knapsack, and a ‘haversack in which were five days’ rations, a cartridge- box containing forty rounds of ammunition, sometimes called ‘‘compliments for the rebels,” and our Spring- field muskets,—all of which made a load to carry on a rapid march. Packing a knapsack for a march required some skill: the skill was not to put in as much as we could, but to leave out as much as possible, for after marching for five or six hours every ounce told its story. As is always the case on long or forced marches, when we were hastening to guard some important point or when a battle was imminent, halts of five minutes were occasionally made, as often as the general commanding thought proper, at the expiration of which we were pushed forward with renewed energy. We were very soon made acquainted with the fact that the march was one under General Grant, and that there would be no creeping along at a moderate pace for fear of meeting the enemy, ‘‘bringing on a general en- gagement, and then falling back for supplies.” The march was a succession of rapid strides. The general appear- ance of the long line of blue advancing so rapidly, and flashing with all the blazonry of war, spoke volumes of meaning not to be misunderstood; it was a warning to ‘¢all enemies and opposers whatsoever” to get out of the way. At noon a halt of one hour was made for dinner near Warrenton Junction. We marched at the same rapid step during the after- noon, with only a very few short halts, and late in the day crossed the path over which we marched in the fall 312 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. of 1862, when on our way to Falmouth. Over the roll- ing fields, still green and fresh in story, I saw where we encamped for the night when on that memorable march, and the persimmon trees from which many of us obtained our evening meal, as rations were rather short at that time. There was hardly a word spoken in the ranks, but the way we measured off the miles with our well timed feet was marvellous. About nine in the evening we reached Bealton, and as we marched past the scattering and dilapidated houses which composed the little village, the women watched us from their dimly lighted windows with sorrowful faces. We camped for the night upon a smooth spot of ground covered with a carpet of rich green grass, only a short distance west of the railroad station. That night in early May was one of the loveliest. Cool was the silent sky, and calm, and many bright stars looked down upon the two great armies drawing near to battle. We laid down to rest with nothing to eat; we did not even munch a hardtack. It was too late to eat, and we were somewhat tired, but, like very many of our halts late at night, we thought about it all the same. It is, however, part of a soldier’s life to lie down for the night tired and hungry. The weather was so very pleasant that no tents were put up: we simply spread our blankets upon the green sward and laid down‘to golden dreams, the gift of sweet repose,— «¢Lulled by the night wind, pillowed on the ground.” Our minds for a time wandered to the great work which lay before us, almost within our grasp, and to what the next day would bring forth; then to those at home who were so near and dear,—until we fell asleep and rested from the march, while the army of night-loving stars stood watch far in the distant blue. CHAPTER X. ComrapE EATON’s DESCRIPTION CONCLUDED—FROM BEALTON TO STEVENSBURGH—CROSSING THE Rapipan—‘'THE PINE Swine ING AGAINST THE PALM.”’ PART VII. FROM BEALTON TO STEVENSBURGH. At four o’clock the next morning, May 5, the unvary- ing order, ‘¢ Forward!” echoed through the slumbering camp. We hastily buckled on our armor, and with souls nerved with the fire of war again stood in line. As L. took his musket from the stack he sang in that humorous way of his,— ‘«Oh, take your gun and go, John; Oh, take your gun and go!” Almost noiselessly we seemed to glide away from the camp-ground, and as on the preceding day were rapidly moving southward. We were very anxious to press for- ward and see what the coming day would bring forth, for we well knew that before the sun should bid us good- night over the slopes of the Blue Ridge, we should in all probability be very near to the enemy ;—as L. expressed it, ** Guess we will have a field-day of it before night.” If the old saying, ‘‘on the war path,” was ever appli- cable to any body of armed men except Indians, it surely was very applicable to us, for we were ‘‘on the war path” in the true sense of the word. The men ofthat morning were then in the prime of life; to-day, many of the survivors are bowed down, crippled, and gray-headed. That morning of the long ago saw them with hope beam- ing on every face, scorning the foe, fearing no danger, ‘¢ Laughing the clouds away with playful scorn, And living as if earth contained no tomb.” 314 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. We did not eat anything the night before, owing to the lateness of the hour when we halted for the night, and when morning came we had no time to eat anything: in just five minutes after we were awakened, we were mov- ing away. Let me again remind my readers that all this is a part of what is known to the veterans of the war as a **forced march.” We shook the dust of Bealton from our feet in a hurry, well knowing that the march of that day would be a long and tedious one, and in all probabil- | ity surpass that of the day before. Soon after leaving Bealton, General Burnside and staff rode for a while only a little way to our left, following the railroad. I can see the old hero now! He rode his trusty old war-horse, long and well known to all soldiers of the Ninth Corps as ‘* old bob-tail,” which was the one he always rode, as he once said, ‘‘ when there is danger ahead.” The gen- eral wore his coat buttoned closely, which appeared to give him more of a military bearing... He wore a high military hat with the brim turned down, around which was a heavy gold cord or braid. He was a plain, unas- suming man, and was held in high esteem by the Ninth Corps. Long shall we remember his familiar face, and long shall we recount his deeds of valor. I shall never forget the general’s horse as he appeared that morning ;—there was no music, and the only noise heard was the rushing sound peculiar to a moving body of armed men. The old war-horse appeared to know just what was required of him and where he was going. His eyes shot gleaming flame as he watched the moving column, and his step was as precise as that of a soldier when on parade. That faithful horse carried his rider through many battles and places of extreme danger; he was the general’s pet, and, like his gallant rider, long ago passed away. ‘General Grant seldom wore his coat buttoned. BEALTON TO STEVENSBURGH. 315 “« Where art thou gone, old friend and true? What place hast thou to fill? For it may be thy spirit form Somewhere is marching still.” The colored people were in their element (as might well have been expected) over ‘*‘ Massa Lincoln’s men under Gen’l Grant.” They had seen many troops from time to time, but they never saw so large an army. They interrogated each other as to what ‘‘ old massa and missus would say, could dey see all dese sojers from de Norf.” When questioned as to where their masters were, one burly fellow replied, ‘‘My massa’s in de rebel army, sah; he’s been done gone dis tree year.” Once when the brigade was favored with a halt, a buxom colored woman, recently married, and whose Benedict had enlist- ed and was then in the rear bound for the front, made her appearance. The coal-black woman was crying and taking on ata terrible rate as she approached us, ostensi- bly for our sympathy. She did not want tg be left alone, and expressed her determination to follow her spouse, declaring, amid her blubbering and fall of tears, ‘‘I carn stay behin, O Lord, I carn stay behin.” MHurriedly we marched onward, passing dark green forests, devastated plantations, negro cabins, and fine old Virginia farm- houses resting upon grassy slopes, closely environed with clusters of elms or of spreading oaks, through which the young sun of summer sifted his warm rays, kissing the vacant windows with a golden glow. We crossed little streams where our canteens were hastily filled, and pass- ed over the ground where a part of the Army of the Po- tomac had spent the winter, and who like ourselves were hurrying to the front. So rapid was the march that it might well be called a flight, and but little pleasure was derived from what we saw by the wayside while being forced to our utmost strength. \ 3 16 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. About ten o’clock in the morning a report reached us to the effect that ‘* General Grant had attacked the enemy, and was driving them with fearful slaughter, and raising h—I generally with the rebels, and that if the Ninth Corps did not hurry up it would have no hand in the work at all, but would miss all the fun.” L. responded to this piece of news in his usual loud voice, ‘‘ Let’em fight, let’em fight; it will amount to nothing. Grant can’t do anything till we get there, anyhow.” We had no fear of ‘‘ missing the fun:” that was not our luck by any means. We gave three cheers for General Grant, and sent word to him to ‘‘ Hold the fort, for we are coming.” The halts were less frequent than those of the day be- fore; they were like angels’ visits, few and far between, and only for a few minutes. The moment the bugles sounded ‘‘ Halt!’ it was something of a curiosity to see how quickly the line sank to the ground. It seemed to melt down like snow upon hot iron. It made no differ- ence what the condition of the roads was: every man dropped to the ground as though an enfilading fire had mown them down, for the many long marches we had experienced had taught us to rest when an op- portunity presented itself. General Sturgis once told us, when on the march down through Virginia in the fall of 1862, at one time when many of us were standing dur- ing a halt,—‘‘ Men,” said he, ‘‘sit down and rest when you have the chance, if only for one minute.” Precisely at twelve o’clock the column was halted for a rest of one hour, a few miles east of Culpeper court-house and near Stevensburgh. Our rations consisted of fresh beef boiled, and that staple article known as hardtack; that was our bill of fare every day during the campaign—when we got anything—and a soldier’s allowance only, the reader may rest assured. There were times, however, when we had no chance to eat anything, had we had never so BEALTON TO STEVENSBURGH. 317 much. It was the good fortune of the Eleventh Regi- ment to rest and enjoy their lunch under a few large pine and oak trees, which had long served to shade a farm- house near by. The day was very warm, and, as we laid aside our arms and wiped our perspiring faces and sur- veyed the giant old trunks and branches, we were ready to exclaim in rather a poetical sort of way,— «« Welcome, ye shades, ye bowery thickets ! Hail, ye lofty pines, ye venerable oaks!” While L., who always took a special pride in being dif- ferent from the rest of his comrades, shouted at the top of his voice, ‘‘ Bully for our side.” A canteen of water from a fine spring close by, drank while resting in the heavy shade, was very refreshing. A long life to the old canteen ! was the soldier’s fervent wish. A regiment, unknown to us, had encamped upon that ground during the winter just passed. I saw quite a number of boxes lying upon the ground marked, ‘ For- warded by Express Company,” proving that some of those who had spent the long winter there were hot forgotten by their loved ones at home. Upon the corner .of one of these boxes I wrote in large letters, ‘‘«On to Richmond, now or never!” and nailed it to one of the trees for a guide-board, and for the edification of the family who lived close by. I was informed by a young lady of the house that ‘‘ Before three days you Yankees will all be going back to Washington much faster than you have come, with General Lee and his. army after you. Old Grant can do nothing with our brave General Lee ;” and the flash of her eyes surpassed that of a Par- rott gun. The hour allotted us for rest soon passed away; we hastily soaped the inside of our stockings to prevent our feet from blistering,—an idea we had learned while on our long marches,—when the bugle in clear 318 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. notes summoned us to ‘fall in,” and tramp on as before. As Colonel Harriman mounted his horse, he said to a few of us who were standing near him, ‘‘ We shall without a doubt see the famous Rapidan before night,” but he did not know where we were going. We had heard and read so much about the Rapidan, that the very thought of the river sent an electric thrill through every soldier. It imparted new life to the weary, and every one was eager to press onward to catch a glimpse of the fast rolling river which had for many months been the dividing line between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia. We had no idea what- ever where we were going, only that we were bound for the Rapidan. PART VIII. CROSSING THE RAPIDAN. A peculiar sensation pervaded the ranks that afternoon, which told us in a manner not to be mistaken that we were nearing the end of our march; and we were then ** snuffing the battle from afar,”’ but we did not know it. Our march that afternoon was in a south-easterly direc- tion, and somewhat away from the previous devastations of war. The enemy was then marching directly east. Hill’s corps, or a portion of it, could not have been more than two or three miles south of us. General Lee, in moving his forces, had two good roads running direct from Orange Court-House, his head-quarters, to the Wil- derness, while General Grant had but one. Early moved on the Orange turnpike, or the most northerly of these, while Hill and Longstreet moved on the Orange plank road, or the most southerly one. Longstreet, however, was some distance away, having left Gordonville early that morning. CROSSING THE RAPIDAN. 319 The afternoon was exceedingly warm, and the march was very rapid. Plantations were not seen as frequently as on the two preceding days. Our line of march was over rolling and sandy lands, and along the edge of a large forest. Frequently the blue line was changed to a deeper hue, as it entered the shadows of the tall pines and pointed cedars which stood by the wayside. The only sound heard was that peculiar, muffled, shuffling sound mingled with a click, due to the moving of in- fantry, which the veteran so well remembers. Every man was armed with forty rounds of amunition, with a liberal supply of Hail Columbia spiced with Yankee Doodle in his knapsack. se* * * hurrying on, hurrying on, Where life is lost and victory won.” On, on, on, we hurriedly marched. The horses were alert, and seemed to know that they were on the war- path engaged in a mighty work, and both men and horses chafed under the indescribable pressure which was brought to bear upon them; a deep feeling, as of passion, surged along the line, and even the ashes of the dead heroes seemed stirred in their graves by the wayside. It was a grand prelude to what was so soon to throw fire in the gloomy wood not far away, for our step was as firm as our wills, at the thought of the river. It was like the rushing of many waters, or a storm sweeping through the forest, when suddenly, just as we emerged from a pine grove, in going down a gentle declivity, a shout as of victory arose from the ranks, and all hearts were buoy- ant and thrilled with fresh vigor as we were halted at the river. There before us rushed the gleaming waters of the Rapidan, a river which the war had made famous. To the Federal army it was the Rubicon, beyond which every foot of advance would be seriously impeded by the 320 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. enemy. The point on the river where we were halted, and where we crossed, was Germania ford: it was an important point on that river, and one often mentioned in all histories of the Civil War. Why General Lee did not attack General Grant and prevent or delay his (Grant’s) crossing the Rapidan, has been a subject of considerable discussion since the war by those who do not fully understand the positions of the two great armies at that time. The ground upon which General Lee could have made the attacks was admirable for defensive operations: it was_as favorable for the Con- federacy as was the field of Fredericksburg. The high and wooded bluffs on the south side of the river were crowned with abandoned earthworks, long before thrown up by the Confederates, though not laid out with as much military skill and exactness of form as those thrown up by the Federal army. They were, to use the Confed- erate expression, ‘‘not much for looks, but h—1 for strength.” Upon the north side the ground was very much lower, and would have been disastrous to the Fed- eral army, as it would have received a plunging fire. General Lee, vigilant and watchful though he was, was completely outgeneralled by Grant relative to the moving of the Federal forces, and could not well have disputed Grant’s crossing at Germania ford, however much he might have desired to do so, for the simple reason that General Grant did not intend that he should. It is very probable that General Lee intended to dispute Grant's passage of the Rapidan: it was what any general in Grant’s position would have expected; it would have been strictly in accordance with the art of war. Then, again, it was policy for Lee to attack Grant just as far from Richmond as possible. General Grant saw all this, and put on a very bold front in locating his head-quarters at Culpeper, about ten miles north of Orange Court- CROSSING THE RAPIDAN. 321 House, where his adversary was closely watching his movements. Close at hand, sheltered in a city of white tents, rested the well disciplined Federal army eagerly watching every sound and movement. They were like hounds straining upon the start, but no news reached them from day to day, only that the advanced pickets had fired a few shots at each other across the river. When the right time came, Grant marched, or rather he glided away, with his hosts toward the south- east, mighty in strength yet silent, fully equipped for battle, and not forgetting that General Lee could in every instance choose the ground upon which to make the attack. General Lee entertained the idea that Grant would move by the Federal right, but somehow General Grant did not always do as his opponents desired that he should. Watchful and alert though General Lee was, and notwith- standing the assistance that women, spies, and newspa- pers gave him, yet he spent too much of his valuable time in watching the Federal right and strengthening the Confederate left, just as General Grant intended he should, and did not discover, until about 1 o’clock of that day (May 4) by what route General Grant intended to confront the Confederate army. The scattering line of Lee’s mounted pickets, who were daily scouring the country along the south bank of the Rapidan and east of Morton’s ford, must have discovered at a very early hour on the morning of the 4th, with the assistance of Confederate women living within the Union lines, that the Federal army was moving. Their long and eager watchfulness on the banks of that river was at last re- warded on that beautiful May morning, and they lost no time in putting spurs to their horses, and hastily, almost breathlessly, informed their chieftain somewhat after the manner of Le Cid’s battle song,— 21 322 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. «o* * * Grant is on his way. With the tambour peal and the techir shout, And the horn through the forest ringing out, He hath marshalled his blue array.” General Lee saw Grant’s plans at once. It was unex- pected, and in his amazement he might have exclaimed with Marmion’s Squire Fitz Eustice, «* My basnet to a ’prentice’s cap, Lord Luny’s o’er the Till,”— and the chance to attack the Federal army at Germania ford was forever lost. Nor was General Lee dismayed at this. By the direction in which the Federal army was moving, he could at a glance see that General Grant must pass through that wild and wooded region known as the Wilderness; every one of its lonely roads and by-ways was familiar to the Confederate army, but the Federal army had never trodden there. General Lee took fresh courage at this, and well he might. Any one acquainted with the country toward which the Federal army was moving would not doubt for a moment but that it was marching into the jaws of death. General Lee was certain of this, and felt sure that what he had lost at the ford he was about to regain on the cross-roads and by-ways in that gloomy forest, and, like Pharaoh of old, could say, ‘‘ They are entangled in the land; the wilderness hath shut them in.” He very well knew that he could reach the centre of that dense wood in advance of Grant, as he had the shortest route over which to march, and there where the narrow and lonely roads cross could form his lines, strike Grant’s long columns, cut them in two, and rout them. Lee foresaw, or thought he did, the same fate for Grant that befell Hooker at Chancellorsville, the northern boundary of the Wilderness region one year before. He considered that his army of 65,000 men, which was a very low estimate CROSSING THE RAPIDAN. 323 of the Confederate forces, was fully competent to over- power and crush Grant. He considered that Grant’s superiority in numbers would be of little moment when compared to his own superior advantages. Being thus flushed at the thought of success, Lee apparently never gave one thought to the fact that he was on the very verge of battle with U.S. Grant, and not with any of the past Federal commanders. ‘Two days later, however, he was made acquainted with facts, which caused him to open his eyes as he never did before. General Grant had anticipated that should he succeed in crossing the river in safety, no attack would be made until he could reach the high and open ground near Spottsylvania Court House. In this he was mis- taken, and upon his arrival at Germania ford he clearly saw the ominous cloud darkening around the Wilderness, foretelling what was soon to take place. Nor was Grant dismayed at this: he at once made up his mind that if his adversary could fight in that wild, wooded place, he could also, and preparations for the attack were swiftly made. Both armies were soon in brisk motion. There was a noise of war in the camp, and while the long columns of the Federal army were so swiftly measuring off the miles with their feet, the Confederate army only a few miles south of them were doing the same thing with marvellous rapidity. Both armies were rushing forward to bathe their pitiless steels in human gore, wherever they should meet. Hill and Ewell, of Confederate fame, had the shortest route; consequently they reached the Wilderness in advance of the Federal columns. The distance between the two advancing armies was only a few miles, and to the well attuned ears of the Confed- erate soldiers the ground just north of them must have seemed to jar under 324 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. «¢ The heavy tread of mail-clad multitudes, Like thunder showers upon the forest paths.” What were the feelings of the Federal troops? We were nerved for the fray with an unflinching power, while ‘¢ Hope sang with courage bold, There’s glory on the morrow.” General Lee had been so very sure that Grant would move by the right, that Longstreet was at that time ten miles or more west of Hill and Ewell, he having left Gordonsville, where he had been watching Grant’s right, at4 p.m. onthe 4th, and he was obliged to make a forced march in consequence. It will be seen, then, that Burnside’s corps of the Federal, and Longstreet’s of the Confederate, army made forced marches at the opening of the campaign. General Grant, in planning his campaigns, did not do just as his adversary desired that he should. Before a gun of that campaign had been fired, Lee was cer- tainly outgeneralled, a fact which writers, when com- paring the abilities of these two great generals, have usually overlooked. The crossing of the Rapidan was virtually crossing the threshold of battle, and that, too, without losing a man, a horse, a gun, or a wagon. Ina campaign like that, with only one road upon which to move such an immense army, the movement was indeed marvellous, and its like was never before known in ancient or modern warfare. It is something for the opposers of General Grant to consider, before denouncing the campaign a failure, as many do to this day, for there is not a shadow of a doubt but that'General Grant was very anxious for the safety of his army until he saw it upon the south bank of the river, and knew that Lee was foiled in the attempt to dispute his crossing. It was “THE PINE SWINGING AGAINST THE PALM.’ 325 a movement that Grant might well be proud of. Well did his brave and finely equipped army exclaim, ‘ Hur- rah! we have crossed the Rubicon !” ‘ «Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying.” PART IX. «‘*THE PINE SWINGING AGAINST THE PALM.” Germania ford is in a somewhat romantic dell, re- mote from any dwelling ; and, situated as it is under high bluffs, with dark green woods overhanging, it presents a wild and solitary aspect; the place, moreover, has been associated on every side with scenes that will long be memorable in connection with the civil war. It was a few minutes past four o’clock when the tramping of many feet was heard upon the pontoon bridge, which creaked and swayed under its burden, telling that the column was crossing, yes, crossing the ‘‘ Rubicon,” while the clear, rushing waters of the Rapidan made their music to an armed host for the last time. Little did some of my comrades think, perhaps, that the next stream which they would cross, and only a few hours hence, would be ‘‘ with the boatman cold and pale.” We then ascended the steep heights or bluffs upon the south side of the river, where a short halt was made to allow the troops to come up. As the blue, stately lines ascended the heights,—a column of armed men, thoroughly disciplined and ready for action,—it was indeed a picture of war, and one which would have inspired the warriors of ancient days, could they have looked upon it. General Grant in his Memoirs, Vol. II (page 185), thus desribes that wild and wooded country: ‘‘ The country was heavily wooded at all points of crossing, particu- 326 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. larly on the south side of the river. The battle-field, from the crossing of the Rapidan until the final move- ment from the Wilderness toward Spottsylvania, was of the same character. There were some clearings and small farms within what might be termed the battle-field, | but generally the country was covered with a dense forest. The roads were narrow and bad. All condi- tions were favorable for defensive operations.” Just then the order ‘‘ Forward!” was given, and we marched rapidly away. ‘‘Son of man, set thy face against Pharoah and his host, for the battle is near,” was the message borne on the wings of the wind to every man. With heavy hearts and weeping eyes our loved ones and the loyal people of the North watched us on that long and swift march; they saw us dimly through the cloud of war as we ‘crossed the Rapidan, but we were soon lost from their sight in the shadows of the Wilder- ness. Very soon after leaving the heights near the river, and just as we had passed through a point of wood which projected somewhat from the main forest at our right, the first mutterings of the coming storm met our ears. In the gloomy forest in our front, and not more than five miles distant, the tempest was raging desper- ately and obstinately, telling all who were within a circle of ten miles around that the pine was once more swinging against the palm. ‘¢ General Ulysses has commenced business in Virginia very much after his way at Vicksburg,” remarked L.., as he listened with all his ears to the desperate work, which sounded nearer and clearer as we pressed forward. We very soon learned that the right of the Federal line, com- manded by General Sedgwick, had attacked the enemy, and very severe fighting was the result, as we could plainly hear; the left and centre were quiet, as, of all the troops who were to engage in the work of blood on “THE PINE SWINGING AGAINST THE PALM.” 3247 that part of the line, none were in position except a few brigades of Hancock’s and Warren’s corps. We were then touching the borders of a mighty maelstrom, and, although it was five miles to our east, we could distinctly hear the resistless surging, the rush and the roar at the vortex to which we were hastening. The march from about fifteen minutes past four until about half past five that afterngon was far more rapid- than at any time since leaving Bristoe. J can safely say that the brigade never saw an hour’s march like that one, before or since: it was almostadouble-quick. It was truly miraculous to see with what rapidity our feet meas- ured offthe miles amid a cloud of dust, which was almost suffocating in the hot sun. This was a ‘‘ forced march.” Colonel Harriman sat as erect as he was wont to. do upon his favorite horse, ‘‘ Old Kaintuck,” brave, good, and true. I can see him before me now, that form so straight, and his ever genial face I shall never forget. ‘«Of all our knights he was the flower, always gay.” In one hand he held the rein, while the other swung by his side as if keeping time to the rapid step. As he turned and looked back upon the column, the 'expres- sion of his face seemed to say, ‘‘The combat deepens: on, ye brave!” Lieutenant-Colonel Collins followed in the rear upon his well known steed. It was the last march that he ever made with us: at that hour on the next day he filled a soldier’s grave in a gloomy glen of the Wilderness. ««Blest by his God with one illustrious day, A blaze of glory, ere he passed away.” Alas! the commanders of the Eleventh Regiment have long since answered to their final roll-call beyond the lines, free from war’s dread confusion. 328 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Not more than two miles south of us, the Confederate Signal Corps on Clark’s mountain was signalling to Lee that the Ninth Corps had crossed the Rapidan, and were moving southward. They should also have added to this, ‘‘armed with hell flames and fury.” The rapid march, the long and curved lines of blue hurrying to action, and bearing weapons that flashed to a purpose—made a picture familiar to the veterans, which is not soon to be forgotten. The artillery on either side was not hurried in its work. At intervals its heavy detonations rang out like a mighty gong, until we felt its great pulsations as we hurried for- ward, like a flaming fire, to the assistance of those who were engaged at the front in the hot blast of battle. Our well timed and well tried feet kept step to the rattle of the guns, while «« Higher, higher, higher, Burned the old-fashioned fire, Through the ranks.” It was Ewell’s Corps that confronted Sedgwick that afternoon. It arrived there ahead of Hill, the last named having the longest route over which to march. Ewell was trying to break Sedgwick’s line, while Hill was peering anxiously and cautiously through the som- bre thicket at Hancock and Warren, who were getting into position as fast as the uneven ground and dense undergrowth would admit. It was very apparent that only one Federal and one Confederate corps were then in action, with perhaps the exception of one or two brigades from Hill’s Corps. The fighting that we could hear so distinctly, severe though it seemed, was only giving dreadful notes of preparation: it was the fierce growl of what was soon to follow. About 5 : 30 o’clock the Second Brigade, dust begrimed “THE PINE SWINGING AGAINST THE PALM.” 329 and weary, was halted just at the roadside, upon a slight elevation or ridge of land, there to await orders. As L. stacked his musket and threw off his equipments, he sang, in that peculiar way of his, as he looked toward the insolent foe,— «¢ Here we are, as you diskiver, All the way from the roaring river.” At a farm-house just east of us, and only a short dis- tance away, stood the horses of General Griffin and staff, just as they were halted from the swift march: horses and riders, as well as the blue column, were waiting for orders. As we were then about three miles from the front, it was very difficult to tell whether we would press right forward, or remain where we then were for several hours. The ridge of land upon which we were then resting was in an open farming country, and near the edge of the long and broken tract of wood through which we had just marched. The western sky, which was beginning to take on streaks of gold and crimson, was almost obscured from our view by the large pine wood close in our rear. In our immediate front, that is, to the east, was a tract of farming country many acres in extent, which had suffered little, if any, by the ravages of war. Still farther to the east, or rather to the south-east, at a distance of about three miles, stood, silent and motion- less, the woods of that fatal field where Sedgwick and Ewell were then hotly engaged. Grant’s Memoirs, Vol. II, page 189, shows a map of the region. The road from Germania ford, over which we marched that afternoon, is clearly shown, together with the farming country I have mentioned. The farm- house, as shown in the tract of farming country marked ‘‘Beal,” is the place where General Griffin and staff were waiting for orders. 330 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Long lines of stacked muskets, with equipments hang- ing thereon, containing forty rounds of ammunition, converted the sloping ridge where we rested into a very warlike place, vastly different, I think, from what it was the evening before, when held by the enemy. Close by flowed a little stream, to which many of us repaired in the shimmer of sunset and enjoyed a bath, which was very refreshing after the long and dusty march. The sun was now setting, and as the blue of the western sky was melting into the faint, golden mellowness, the evening star suddenly shone out with a friendly look. The shadowed light of evening rested upon the slopes of the woodland swell, and all the glory of that early summer evening came down in silent lapse upon the undulating landscape, the waiting army, and that solitary region : «‘And where the shadows deepest fell, The wood-thrush rang his silver bell.” PART X. FROM THE RIDGE TO WILDERNESS TAVERN. The evening of May 5 was beautiful: it was one of the loveliest ever seen. In the cooling breezes wafted through the pines and over fields white with honey- suckle and red with clover blossoms, we sat upon the ground waiting for orders. The Federal and Confeder- ate hosts, a choir of devils, were still striving for the mastery in the dark wood with a rage most obstinate, most obstinate and horrible, and, as in the afternoon, the wood rang dreadful with the clang and crash of arms. The swift fight, the smiting of the shafts of war, the streams of fire from the zig-zag lines were violent and unrelenting ; nor did the fearful crashing cease until the carnage clogged the ears, and darkness, falling in FROM THE RIDGE TO WILDERNESS TAVERN. 331 deeper shades on woodland and dell, blinded the eyes of the enraged troops. It was nearly nine o’clock when the tumult ceased, and the combatants,- vigilant and watchful, each holding his own ground in the dense wood, rested for the night upon their blackened and heated weapons. About nine o’clock, or very soon after the musketry had ceased, we heard loud cheering coming from different points along the line, and just what it meant we were at a loss to know. At first we supposed it was a charge in the darkness; but as there was no musketry firing we were soon convinced to the contrary, though the mystery was not solved. Before we reached the front the next morning, we learned that the cheers were given General Grant as he rode along the line, looking after the troops, and directing certain move- ments for the next day. The exulting cheers which were given the commander of the Federal army that night, in the lone haunts of the Wilderness, caused far more consternation in the Rebel lines than .a hundred shells thrown in their midst would have done; it proved that we had the utmost confidence in our commander in his first campaign in Virginia against the Confederate capital. Verily, then, ‘«QOne blast from Rhoderick Dhu was worth a thousand men.” Upon the grassy ridge we waited, just waited, for the dawn. Anxious fathers and mothers, at both the North and the South, were waiting for the morrow. Generals ‘Grant and Lee were waiting as they never did before. The old ship of state, which had long been tossed upon a stormy midnight sea until nearly wrecked, was waiting. President Lincoln, anxious and care-worn, was waiting, anticipating happy results, and, guided by the divine injunction, his last appeal to us was “© To take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.” 332 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. The crash of battle we had heard that afternoon and evening had bade us prepare for the morrow, to prepare for a day that would blush with blood, and there we were, waiting for the final move which would take us to the front. Throughout the brigade the men sat in squads, and talked in suppressed tones about the great work which the next day would ultimately bring forth, every word of which, together with the plaintive notes of the whip-poor-will, made the silence more profound. The soft winds sighed mournfully through the pines, and seemed to say that sword and gun, shield and lance, torch and battle-axe were prepared, and that the death- angel had already preceded us to where the desperate carnage was so soon to be. There is no such thing as telling the story of that remarkable night. I look back to itnow, and call it a night of horrors. We did not think so then, for the reason, I suppose, that it was a part of a soldier’s life, and what we had been looking for; it was a part of war, and was what we expected just before a battle. We were eager to press forward and see for ourselves just what was waiting for us in the dark wood to the east of us, and what the soft winds or some un- seen form was whispering in the midnight darkness. In vain did we ask, ‘Watchman! tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are.” As there were no indications whatever of moving, at about half-past ten Colonel Harriman said to us, ‘* Boys, lie down and sleep, but don’t unroll your blank- ets; and finally, J think you might as well sleep with one eye open, for there is no knowing what may hap- pen.” We laid down upon the dewy grass with our knapsacks for pillows, and, as we were tired from the day’s march were soon asleep. FROM THE RIDGE TO WILDERNESS TAVERN. 333 ‘« All slept but those in watchful arms who stood, And those who sat tending the beacon’s light.” It was the eve of battle, the eve of a great day which would forever live in history. Before going to sleep we gave a thought to those at home,—how the candles were lit in the parlor, how the stars shone in the calm azure sky ; we thought of the good-nights that were said and repeated by the loving ones who missed us. We said our good-nights and benedictions for them, hoping, should we fall in the strife, that ‘‘ He who noteth the fall of a sparrow, would note the fall of one of us.” At half past twelve we were summoned to ‘‘ Awake, awake, put on strength; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generation of old.” In the thick darkness Colonel Harriman’s voice rang out as clear as a bugle, ‘‘ Fall in, Eleventh !” and as I sprang to my feet I heard the order at some little distance away, summoning other regiments in the brigade to do like- wise. This order, at that time and place, we well knew meant business in good earnest. ‘‘ Well, boys, the time is near at hand; now for the fight,” was the general remark, as equipments and knapsacks were hastily buckled on, and the silver-tipped stacks of muskets distributed in the darkness. The lightnings gleam- ing through the midnight gloom, the chance of life and death which closes round in that struggling hour, caused many a deep breathed prayer to the God of battles, that amid the coming flame no cloud might lower upon them, and that the glad smile of victory would at last dispel the gloom. Notwithstanding the fact that there was quite a large force in that immediate vicinity, so quiet were they that silence reigned supreme: it was almost oppressive. It was at the dead hour of night, while all the people throughout the land were sleeping, that we were marching forth to participate in one of the 334 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. greatest battles of all the earth. The eventful night will never fade from my memory. «« Night of nights! who thy tale of woe shall tell.” With not a minute’s delay, we rapidly and almost noise- lessly glided away in the darkness. Company E, of the Eleventh, was detailed as rear guard; consequently we were the last to leave. When on the point of leaving, Lieutenant-Colonel Collins rode up, and gave us the order, «« Allow no man to fall out of the ranks !” and, if I remem- ber correctly, it was the last order J ever heard him give. The march in that early morning was still upon the Ger- mania plank-road, over which we marched the evening before. This road passes through the northern portion of the Wilderness region, thence on to Chancellorsville, and Fredericksburg. By the direction we were then marching, it was very evident that we were going to the centre or to the left of the line, as the point whence the noise of the battle was heard on the evening before was at some distance to our right. Longstreet had encamped on the night of the 5th near Craig’s meeting-house on the Catharpin road, about five miles directly south from where we lay. About mid- night, General Lee sent a message to him, informing him of the battle of the afternoon before, and directing him to move at once, and march directly to Parker’s store, and there form his line of battle. Burnside and Longstreet were doing the forced marching for the open- ing of the campaign. The roads over which we were marching to reach the front were about the same length. By the dim light of pine knots and home-made lamps, which were rags soaked in grease, the dwellers along the Catharpin road likewise gazed upon an armed host for the last time. Only a few miles distant stood Hill and Ewell, and in the stillness of the night Longstreet was FROM THE RIDGE TO WILDERNESS TAVERN. 335 rapidly coming to their assistance. Lee, as generalis- simo of the Confederate army, was already on the ground planned for the onset. In the darkness that same voice, which urged the Federal army forward, must at that very time have whispered to them these words of warning: *O daughter, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thy- self in ashes, for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon thee.” Our march down the plank-road in the quiet of the night was as rapid as it had been on the two preced- ing days. It was a night of sable darkness, so that we could not see the loose stones, broken planks, and the many pit-falls in the shape of wash-outs and gullies. Often did sparks of fire fly from the rolling stones, as they were struck by our tireless and well timed feet. About three o’clock we reached Orange Grove, where the enemy was seen in force on the morning of May 5. It was near this place where General Sedgwick formed his line when he moved to the attack at about noon of that day. Orange Grove is a small clearing of a few farms only in that desolate region. We were then just entering the main portion of the Wilderness, a dark and heavy wood wrapped in absolute silence, where the two lines of battle were already formed. The scene was singularly oppressive. The trembling foliage seemed to whisper ‘* To-morrow !” while from afar shone on the line the morning star. That day, just dawning, would bring joy to the birds, the flocks, and the smiling face of nature, but to the thousands of armed men, then hidden in the thickets of that tangled wood, it was to be a day of extreme hardship and apprehension, a day of tumult and peril that would burn as an oven. Ah! ««Many a heart was beating, that dreamed not of retreating, Which, ere the sun was setting, lay still and cold in death.” The mighty wilderness was quiet, save the moving of 336 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. troops. Nota gun had been fired announcing the coming conflict. I thought I could hear a mysterious voice sum- moning the Federal hosts to ‘‘ Prepare war, wake up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near; let them come up; let the weak say, J am strong.” A little farther on, where the roadway was narrow and the growth heavy, we heard the galloping of horses in our rear. In a minute more we heard the command given in a loud voice, ‘‘ Give way to the left!” It was General Burnside and staff riding to the front. At a little distance we saw Federal pickets, just relieved from night duty, making coffee over a little fire in a clearing on the hillside, while at other points troops were moving with rapid steps toward the front. As we marched on and neared the field of strife, everything seemed more warlike; every- thing upon which the eye rested told us very plainly that a day was dawning that would live long in history; it was a vivid reminder of what we enlisted for. In that exciting moment, we fervently hoped and prayed that if the coming day should usher in the noise and wrath of battle, it might also bring the victors’ song and a wild hurrah for the old flag, even if many of us were left sleep- ing in death upon the bloody sod. Yes, it was indeed a day long to be remembered in that lonely region, with all the horrors of war staring us squarely in the face; but we would not have missed it for the world. More than once on that memorable morning did the words of the old song ring in my ears,— ‘«We are living, we are dwelling, In a grand and awful time ; In an age on ages telling,— To be living is sublime.” Just in the gray of the morning we reached Wilderness tavern, which was General Grant’s head-quarters, and our march was at an end. At a short distance only FORCED MARCHES. 337 from that place, we crossed Wilderness run, a pretty woodland stream with alder-fringed banks, chanting its delicate treble amid the rocks and _ hollows of the his- toric ground. At our left, after crossing the stream, was the encampment of the Ambulance Corps, almost screen- ed from sight by the dark green wood. I heard one of them say to his comrade, as he gazed upon the long line (Second Brigade), ‘‘ I tell you what, Joe, there is going to be warm work on the left to-day.”” The ambulance driver was right. The Second Brigade was assigned to a position on the left that day, and long before sunset every man could testify to the truthfulness of the state- ment. Upon reaching the Wilderness tavern we turned to the right and passed into an open field; then we marched up a slight elevation and entered a thick pine wood. In much less time than it takes to tell it, we ‘formed our line of battle, and were ready to advance to the front, which was a zig-zag line through the dense wood, and not far away. It was then not quite five o'clock. I will now give a summary of that forced march, and the others in which we participated. We left Bristoe at ten o’clock a. m., on the 4th day of May, and at five o’clock on the morning of the 6th we stood in line of battle in the Wilderness, having marched a distance of fifty miles. Had we not been halted to await orders on the evening of the 5th to half past twelve on the morn- ing of the 6th, we would have reached the Wilder- ness before ten o’clock on the evening of the 5th. Gen- eral Grant says in ‘his report on that campaign, that ‘it was a march of rare occurrence.” Our poets have told us, in verse beautifully written, of the famous rides that were made in the days of the Rev- olution. Among them is the ride of Paul Revere and 22 338 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. that of Mary Butters, while Sheridan’s ride took place in the War of the Rebellion. Without boasting, I say that the march of the Ninth Corps from Bristoe to the Wilderness should rank with the famous rides. My comrades of the old Ninth Corps: Take a map of the United States, and look up the long roads over which we marched in order to suppress that wicked rebellion. Beginning in the fall of 1862, there was the long march through Virginia on the east side of the Blue Ridge from Pleasant Valley in Maryland to Falmouth; then glance at Kentucky, and from county to county and from town to town you can easily trace the way where we once rapidly marched over those hard and smooth. pikes. Turn then to Misissippi, and from near Vicks- burg to Jackson, and the return, made under a hot July sun with but little water and rations, was a killing march which disabled the corps for months. There was the long march from Camp Nelson, Kentucky, to Knoxville, and then the return. The spring of 1864 saw the corps in camp for a few weeks at Annapolis, Md., and from that place our tireless feet measured every foot of the way to Petersburg, Va. As your eyes follow these long roads, you will hardly believe that you ever did it, or, at least, you will wonder how you ever did it. The name of ‘‘ Burnside’s travelling menagerie” had long been applied to the corps, but had the one who thus gave it the name waited until the morning of May 6, 1864, before giving the corps that inappropriate name, he would have been at his wit’s end for a name that would have been truly applicable. ‘“Travelling menag- erie” would have been a very tame one. All the marches made by the Federal army in that great cam- paign, from the breaking up of the camp north of the Rapidan to the surrender of Lee, were done in the same rapid way I have described. In addition to the swift and FORCED MARCHES. 339 terrible marches between the Wilderness and Peters- burg, every foot of the way was cut with ball and blade. All through that campaign it was fight all day and march all night, or vice versa. Marching was not done for the sake of giving the troops ‘‘ exercise,” as was done in the early part of the war, but to defeat the enemy. O sons of veterans! you have listened to war stories told by your worthy sires, which were truthful and inter- esting to hear, but may Heaven shield you from days like those away back in ‘‘the sixties.” ‘‘Thus only may our sons conceive the scenes we saw.” CHAPTER XI. BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS—J. W. Jackson’s ACCOUNT—CAPTAIN SHEPARD’s ACCOUNT—COLONEL HARRIMAN’S STATEMENT—GEN- ERAL GRIFFIN’S PLEASURE—CAPTAIN TILTON’s ACCOUNT—LET- TER OF ADJUTANT MORRISON. é Wednesday morning, May 4, the regiment left Bristoe station, and marched eighteen miles to Bealton station on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, and bivouacked at night in a field of very tall green grass, which made a good bed for the weary men; the next morning, Thurs- day, the march was resumed, and the Rappahannock was crossed on a pontoon bridge at Rappahannock station. The march was down the south-westerly side of the river, and at five o’clock the famous Rapidan was crossed at Germania ford, and a mile beyond the men rested on their arms upon a high ridge of land, where the inces- sant roll of musketry of the first day’s battle in the Wil- derness could be heard. Tired and weary the men lay down, and were lulled to sleep for a few minutes at a time by that music, which continued far into the night. The men were under orders to be ready to move at any moment. At two o’clock, on the morning of Friday, May 6, the regiment marched to the battle-field, and, just as the day was dawning, took its place in the line of battle, in a dense, heavy wood where the trees were so near together that it was difficult for men to pass between them. The regiment was at the right of the plank road from Fred- ericksburg to Orange Court House. The Sixth Corps (Sedgwick’s) held the extreme right of the Union line; then came the Fifth (Warren’s) ; then the Second (Han- BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS. 341 cock’s). The Ninth Corps had its position with the Second, and, occupying the left centre, confronted its old antagonists, Longstreet’s Corps, pitted against it at Knoxville. The regiment held its position until about eleven o’clock, when an order was received from Grant to move all the available force to the left to relieve Han- cock who was being hard pressed. The Eleventh had the advance of the brigade, and when the centre was reached a line of battle was formed, and an advance was made until the Third Division was reached, the men of which were lying upon the ground, hesitating to advance. The order came for the Sec- ond Brigade to advance, which it did in the face of a ter- rible, murderous fire, the bullets raining upon the men like hailstones. Just as the order came, ‘‘ Charge!” Lieutenant-Colonel Collins was shot through the head, a bullet entering his forehead, and he fell dead.1 On went the brave boys with such an impetuosity that the first intrenchments were carried, and many prisoners cap- tured. . The woods were on fire, the smoke was dense, the work of no other regiment could be seen, yet on rushed the gallant, glorious Eleventh, and another and second line of works was carried; and still the men, flushed with success, moved on, until ascertaining them- selves to be far in advance of any other regiment, Colonel Harriman called a halt. He then, wishing to find where the rest of his brigade was, as well as to report his own success, sent back Captain Edgerly of the brigade staff, who was with the Eleventh, and who was captured and shot; then Corporal Franklin was sent, and he also was captured. Captain Tilton was next dispatched, and barely escaped capture. Finally Lieutenant Frost was dispatched, and received this message from General 1 Was standing by my side, and fell against my left shoulder, turning me partly about—AuTHOR. 342 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Griffin: «* Tell Colonel Harriman to hold the line, if he can.” Before this order was received a line of rebels was seen coming upon our left flank, and Colonel Harri- man said, ‘* To the rear, and form a new line to the foe!” and when the second line of the enemy which had been carried. was reached, the colonel ordered a halt. ‘“We can hold them here,” he said, but with rebels in the rear, on both flanks, and, in fact, all about them, the men, see- ing that resistance was useless, fell back as best they could; and in this retreat some were killed and some were captured, among the latter being Colonel Harriman. There was no truer, or more efficient officer in this battle than was Colonel Harriman, and when the order to charge the enemy’s works was given, and he, waving his sword, exclaimed ‘‘Follow me, New Hampshire Eleventh !” the effect was electrical. Some one had said, «¢ The Eleventh New Hampshire are d-——d independent, but they would follow their colonel to hell,” and it was fully proven true on this occasion. The only wonder is that more of the men were not captured. Sergeant Ed- munds, of Company D, and the writer of this were the last men who saw Colonel Harriman before his capture. Every man was making good his escape, if possible. Just after the log entrenchments were reached, where Colonel Harriman had hoped to make another stand, the smoke lifted enough to disclose the fact that the rebels were close upon us and on both flanks, and all making substan- tially for the same point. When Colonel Harriman was captured, the distance on a parallel line between him and the writer, who was trying to make good his escape, could not have been over three rods, for many bullets whizzed about his head as he was seen when the smoke lifted, but immediately shut down again. Colonel Harriman could not help falling into the hands of the enemy,—as many another one did,—for at this point THE CHARGE IN THE WILDERNESS. 343 the rebels fairly swarmed, and had the Eleventh Regi- ment not commenced to fall back when it did, hardly a man could have escaped capture. He was not captured -by a concealed picket because he stepped a few paces in front of his regiment, but because the flank supports had given way and left the Eleventh Regiment to extricate itself as best it could. The colors of the Eleventh had halted within some forty rods of where the colonel was captured, and there the line was held. Not more than a dozen men, among whom was Adjutant Morrison, were with them when the writer of this came upon them out of the blinding, almost suffocating smoke through which he escaped capture. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Another trustworthy account we extract from the ‘* Life of Walter Harriman,” written by one who was a partici- pant in the Wilderness fight : “‘Of the charge in the Wilderness, led by Colonel Harriman, which is among the many unrecorded inci- dents of those battle-heated years, we are impelled to write: The 6th of May broke clear and warm. The fate of the Battle of the Wilderness, begun on the 5th, hung in an even balance. The Eleventh was early in line. ‘ What are the orders?’ said Colonel Harriman to General Griffin, who was then in command of the Second Brigade. The reply was, ‘Push the enemy.’ Colonel Harriman, inquiring if he was to be supported, and receiving the answer that he would be, in a clear, ringing voice, that nerved every man to the conflict, shouted, ‘Eleventh New Hampshire, forward!’ Every man was at his post, and braver men never fought. They ad- vanced and steadily forced the Confederates back through 344 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. the underbrush and stunted trees, amid the incessant roar of musketry. Colonel Harriman soon found his command (which had been increased by a large number of Western troops without officers, whom the Eleventh had found lying snug to the ground) far in advance. of the main line, with no support. ‘‘Sending back several times to explain the situation, he still ‘pushed the enemy.’ A halt was made; there was a lull in the roar of battle, and Colonel Harriman saw that he was confronted by a strong line of intrenchments,. over which were levelled the guns of the enemy, ready to hurl death at any further advance. ‘Fix bayonets!’ shouted the gallant colonel, and stepping to the front of his men, his face blackened with powder, with sword in one hand and revolver in the other, he gave the word to charge. With a deep Northern cheer, and with the force of a whirlwind, the column rushed on. The works are reached. They scale the reddened battlements; the banners are bent over the heads of the valiant. Bravely the Confederates fight, but are overpowered and routed, and fall back to a second line. ‘Forward!’ Again the same heroic struggle, the same shouts of victory, and the second line is won. ‘Reader, peace has come. Can you comprehend the situation, and can you see the carnage of that day? Lieutenant-Colonel Collins is lying dead at the foot of a pine tree; Captain Dudley is wounded; while Captain Clark, of Manchester, with the color of death upon him, says, ‘I am badly shot, colonel, but cannot tell where.’ Colonel Harriman goes to him and discovers that his arm is shattered. The ground over which the assault was made is covered with gallant men, wounded, dead, and dying. But the assaulting column faces to the front. It advances still farther; it has passed nearly through the dense forest to an opening and higher ground. A CONFEDERATE ACCOUNT. 345 ‘A flag of truce is raised by the enemy, but Colonel Harriman, suspecting their motives, orders his men to fix bayonets. This has scarcely been done when a fresh brigade pounces down upon Colonel Harriman’s shat- tered ranks, and he is compelled to fall back. The enemy had gained his rear. Where was Colonel Harri- man’s support? He never knew. He would. not sur- render; and, in steadying his men and stubbornly con- testing every inch of ground, he found himself sur- rounded by a dozen or fifteen Confederates whose guns were levelled at him, and who called upon him to give up his revolver. But he threw it over their heads, when he was immediately seized and marched to the rear. There Confederate officers and men gathered around him, and a lieutenant said to him: ‘You observe my men are curious to see you. You were a conspicuous figure when you led your men against our works, and I ordered them to pick you off, but here you are, un- harmed.’ When he was asked to surrender his sword, the rebel officers found he had fooled them by slyly drop- ping it on the field of battle after being captured, where it was picked up by one of the men of his regiment and returned safely to his home in Warner.” JOHN W. JACKSON’S ACCOUNT: In this connection I also give the following from the pen of John W. Jackson, of Columbia, Va., who was an officer in a battalion of scouts, guides, and couriers, attached to General Lee’s head-quarters. The statement here given was written in March, 1885, nearly one year after General Harriman’s death, as a portion of a review of his book ‘In the Orient,” and was sent by him to the general’s family : 346 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. “‘In May of 1864, the armies of Lee and Grant, as known to all, met each other in ‘The Wilderness,’ in Virginia, a section of country about ten miles square, equidistant from Orange Court House and Fredericks- burg, from which the good and enterprising old colonial governor Spottis wode (Spotswood) had cleared the orig- inal growth for fuel wherewith to make iron, ‘muche goode store of whiche’—in the quaint phrase of that day —was to be found there. This denudation, letting in the air and sunlight upon a thin, gravelly soil, ‘born poor,’ there sprang up a strangely dense and stunted growth of chincapin, hickory, and dogwood, through which a man on foot can with difficulty grope his way. John Esten Cooke, one of Virginia’s post bellum novelists, in his book ‘Surry of Eagle’s Nest,’ takes his hero through this sad and weird locality, and succeeds in giv- ing him a severe catch of ‘the blues.’ At best itis a gloomy locality. ‘¢Such was the Wilderness in 1864, where the two armies met, with a shock terrific indeed, and most sangui- nary in results from the fact that from the nature of the ground no artillery could be used and that the fighting was with musketry at short range. So dense was the under- brush, that frequently opposing lines of battle got within fifty paces of each other before being discovered. It was in the thickest of this tangle that for two days the sullen roar of musketry, unrelieved by the deep diapason of the big guns which ordinarily lends variety to the death song of battle, had risen and fallen with its dread monotony,—here, i this Aceldama, on the second day, that, stepping. a few paces in front of his regiment of New Hampshire men, Colonel (later on General) Wal- ter Harriman ‘‘ was taken in” by a Confederate picket- guard, which was lying concealed within twenty steps of his regiment. This writer, then an officer in General TRIBUTE TO GENERAL HARRIMAN. 347 Lee’s body-guard, or rather the battalion of scouts, guides, and couriers attached to General Lee’s head-quarters, was one of the guard which escorted the Federal prison- ers taken in the two days fight (about 1200 in all, officers and men) back to Orange Court House. «¢ As we rode wearily by the side of the disconsolate column of sad captives, we were attracted by the tower- ing height (six feet, two inches) of General Harriman, and by that ‘indescribable and noble air which marks the man who rises above the crowd, morally and mentally. Noticing his jaded walk, and that he had passed the prime of life, while I was a mere youth, I called him to the side of the column, dismounted, and had him take my saddle. I cannot now, after the lapse of twenty-one years, recall all the conversation that passed between us on the dusty miles along the old plank road on that sultry May afternoon ; but the recol- lection of his steady and defiant convictions of the tri- umph of the Union cause and the downfall of the Con- federacy is very vivid to-day. I thought it strange at the time that he, the captive, should be so triumphant, instead of despondent, as would have been natural to his age and under his surroundings. I suggested some- thing of the kind, with the additional remark that we had at least foiled Grant, if not beaten him, and, with the further assurance of youth, that the latter was but a mat- ter of a few days. Rising to his full length in the short stirrups (his knees had been drawn up, much as the Eng- lish ride) for a moment, he seemed to think he was again in front of his regiment on the eve of assault, and while his eye flashed, and his hand clutched nervously toward the sabre side, he cried out,—‘ Never! Your success is only ephemeral. God Almighty is back of our army !’ ‘That remark placed General Harriman at once in 348 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. my mind as one of those whom we of the South at that day, with our loose go-as-you-please, devil-may-care cavalier notions, styled fanatical Puritans. The Puritan saw God’s hand wherever the battle raged for human rights, no matter how weak his force, or how strong the opposing power of error or guilty wrong. General Har- riman, though a Democrat at one time, was too much of a Puritan to be blinded to the fact that his party, shorn of its strength by its dalliance with the Delilah of slavery, was utterly impotent to grapple with the hideous evil. His Puritanism—if you choose to call it that, but we would say principle—undoubtedly the outcome of Puritan teaching and nurture, was stronger than his politics. Is New England breeding any of this sce now? Such men are needed.” CAPTAIN SHEPARD’S ACCOUNT. Captain George N. Shepard of Company A, contrib- utes the following most vivid sketch of the fight, of which he was in the heaviest part: «« About midday the Eleventh New Hampshire, with other regiments of the brigade commanded by General S. G. Griffin, is within short musket range of the enemy. Colonel Harriman is with his regiment, commanding and leading with conspicuous bravery, his tall form a fair mark for the enemy’s riflemen, who shoot from extem- porized breastworks of logs. The lamented Collins, lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, falls mortally wound- ed by a musket ball through the head; Captain Clark is disabled by a gunshot wound in the arm; Lieutenant Currier receives a severe wound in the face; scores of men hobble to the rear. Presently the command ‘ For- ward!’ is passed along the lines. We deliver our fire CAPTAIN SHEPARD’S ACCOUNT. 349 and rush with a shout toward the enemy. Many of them run for their lives ; others raise handkerchiefs on ramrods for flags of truce. ‘Cease firing!’ shouts our colonel. Scores of graybacks surrender and are sent to the rear. Enthusiasm runs high, and we rush on in pursuit of the flying foe. The lines of the opposing armies extend for miles through the dense forest, but only that in our im- mediate front is visible to ourselves: it is all of the battle tous. We drive the enemy from a second line, captur- ing a part. We pause and examine our position, and find ourselves far in advance of the general line of battle. Colonel Harriman sends back for instructions. ‘Tell the General,’ says he to the messenger, ‘ that we are driving the enemy before us, but our flanks are exposed. Ask if we shall hold our position until the main line comes up, or shall we push farther. We can do either.’ While waiting to receive orders we are giving time for the enemy to rally. ‘‘Soon we perceive a long line of gray-clad men emerging from the thick undergrowth on our left, and swinging around our flank. Not a monentis to be lost. ‘To the rear and form a new line fronting the foe!’ We reach the old rebel line of log breastworks. ‘ Halt here, men,’ shouts our colonel, swinging his sword; ‘we can hold them here; form in line here!’ But before the line is half formed, our pursuers pour in their fire. Every experienced man knows the difficulty of reforming a line under fire. ‘The efforts of our colonel and his subordinates are of no avail. To the rear again we go. So hard are we pressed, and such the difficulties in the way of our rapid flight, that some are killed and others captured, among the latter our colonel; while Captain Tilton and others barely escape the rebel clutches. I have related facts of which I was cognizant as an eye-witness.” 350 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. The woods in the Wilderness extended some ten to fifteen miles, and in places they were very dense. These woods were on fire on the second day’s fight, and the smoke was at times blinding, and the air was sickening with the effluvia arising from the burning of dead bodies. At one point there were one hundred dead bodies close about the Eleventh. The fighting was almost entirely by musketry, as but little artillery could be used. COLONEL HARRIMAN’S STATEMENT. ‘“‘Wednesday, May 4, broke camp at Bristoe station and bivouacked that night at Bealton station. Thursday, took up the line of march, crossed the Rappahannock at Rappahannock station, thence down on the south-west- erly side of that river, crossed the Rapidan at Germania ford and camped that night near the latter river, or rather rested on our arms there till 1 o’clock in the night. As we arrived upon this ground near the night of the 5th of May, the thunders of the first day’s Battle of the Wil- derness were clearly heard continuing into the evening. Our orders were to pitch no tents, and to be in constant readiness to march. «At 2 o’clock at night, or, in other words, at 2 o’clock in the morning of Friday, May 6, 1864, we formed a line and moved towards the battle-field. At daylight the great battle commenced. The Eleventh Regiment was under fire through the whole day. At about 1 o’clock p. m. our brigade charged the enemy’s lines. The Eleventh Regiment moved up gallantly, and fought with deter- mined spirit and bravery. No troops ever made an as- sault in finer style. ‘We were in an oak wilderness at the right of a plank road leading from Fredericksburg to Orange Court GENERAL GRIFFIN’S PLEASURE. 351 House. We carried two successive lines of the enemy’s works by charging desperately upon them. We drove them from all their works in our front, and had we known how completely the rebel lines were destroyed and dis- persed, our army could have marched on unimpeded, capturing any quantity of prisoners and of public prop- erty. ‘‘While the Eleventh was gallantly fighting its way under the fiercest musketry fire that this war has known, our connections both to the right and left became broken, and we found ourselves without support, isolated from the rest of the division, and far in advance. A fresh brigade charged upon our left flank. The regiment retreated, and I was taken prisoner. ‘¢ May 10, Lynchburg, Va. I now write from Lynch- burg, Va., and, from the best information I can get in this rebel country, I am led to believe that the Battle of the Wilderness was the fiercest, bloodiest battle of the whole war ;—more men were killed, more wounded, and more taken prisoners than in any other battle. To think now of the fighting, of the field covered with: the dead and dying of that terrible day, May 6, makes my blood almost curdle: I cannot describe it.” GENERAL GRIFFIN’S PLEASURE AT THE APPEARANCE OF HIS BRIGADE. We filed to the left about midday through the woods, by order of General Burnside. General Griffin reported to General Potter, commanding the division, who was with General Burnside. General Griffin formed his line of battle by brigade form. Two brigades of the Third Di- vision of the Ninth Corps were lying on the ground in his front; these were commanded respectively by Colo- 352 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. nels Hartranft and Christ. These men hesitated to ad- vance, the fire was so murderous. Seeing that General Griffin had a good line, and knowing that both his bri- gade and its commander could be depended upon, Burn- side said to Potter, ‘‘ Let Griffin attack.” General Potter transmitted the order to General Griffin verbally, and he gave the order to advance. And General Griffin says,— ‘¢It was one of the grandest sights I ever saw; that bri- gade of six large regiments in bright, new uniforms, well aligned in order of battle, advancing with a steady step and colors flying ;—it was so inspiring that each bri- gade of troops lying down, as we passed over them, rose to their feet with a shout and pressed on with us, ming- ling with our troops and causing me to lose in some measure the control of my line. All our regiments did splendidly.” But the troops on our left did not advance with us. The enemy attacked us on that flank, and made a coun- ter charge on our front, so we were compelled to fall back nearly to the point whence we started. There the ground was held. The woods were so thick and the ground so rough, and the smoke was so dense at times, that Gen- eral Griffin was the only person mounted. When the line began its advance he dismounted, handed the reins to Lieutenant Hutchins of his staff, and went on foot. Lieutenant Hutchins and the horse were shortly after- wards killed. General Griffin had several bullet holes. through his clothes. CAPTAIN TILTON’S ACCOUNT. Colonel Harriman, not finding his adjutant at hand, sent. Captain Tilton to report to General Griffin, giving him the message mentioned in Captain Shepard’s account, E. P. ROE’S DESCRIPTION. 353 and ordered him to hurry back and find Griffin and report the situation. Captain Tilton started at once, and soon met Captain Edgerly of the brigade staff, who vol- unteered to go and show him where General Griffin was. They had gone but a short distance, when they were ordered to halt. Looking up they saw four rebels stand- ing behind the roots of an upturned tree with their guns levelled on them. Captain Tilton immediately turned and ran back in the direction of the regiment he had just left, which was then falling back to prevent capture. Captain Tilton had no opportunity to report to the colo- nel, for he did not see him again. The colonel was captured by a squad of rebels, and after his capture, as he was being taken to the rear, he passed the dead body of Captain Edgerly. He had been killed by the same rebels behind the roots of the tree, who had ordered himself and Captain Tilton to halt. Lieu- tenant Frost, who was also dispatched by Colonel Harri- man to report to General Griffin, came near being cap- tured, so far were the enemy on our flank at that early time. Fully two thirds of the ground over which the Eleventh Regiment had made its bold and daring advance, was, at the very time the regiment commenced to fall back, in the hands of the enemy, and the wonder is, that not only Colonel Harriman and many others were captured, but that a single man of the regiment in the ranks when that charge was made should ever have escaped. Rev. E. P. Roe, in ‘‘ Found yet Lost,” says of the Wilderness,— ‘‘ Lonely and uninhabited in its normal condition, this forbidding wilderness had become peopled with thousands of men. The Army of the Potomac was penetrating and seeking to pass through it. Vigilant General Lee had 23 é 354 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. observed the movement, and, with characteristic bold- ness and skill, ordered his troops from their strong ‘intrenchments on Mine Run, towards the Union flank. ‘On this memorable morning the van of his columns waked from their repose at only a short distance from the Federal bivouac. Both parties were unconscious of their nearness, for, with the exception of a few clearings, the dense growth restricted vision to a narrow range. «© The Union forces were directed in their movements by the compass, as if they were sailors on a fog-enshroud- ed sea, but they well knew they were seeking their old antagonist, the Army of Northern Virginia, and that the stubborn tug of war might begin at any moment. ‘©A few minutes later the birds fled to the closest cover, startled by the innumerable bugles sounding the note of preparation. Soon the different corps, divisions, and brigades were upon their prescribed lines of march. ‘‘No movement could be made without revealing the ‘close proximity of the enemy. Rifle reports from the skirmish lines and reconnoitering parties speedily fol- lowed. A Confederate force was developed on the turn- pike leading south-west from the old Wilderness tavern, and the fighting began at about eight o’clock. Grant and Meade came up and made their head-quarters beneath some pine trees near the tavern. «¢General Grant could scarcely believe, at first, that Lee had left his strong intrenchments to give battle in a region little better than a jungle, but he soon had ample and awful proof of the fact. Practically unseen by each other, the two armies grappled like giants in the dark. So thick were the trees and undergrowth, that a soldier on a battle line could rarely see a thousand men on either side of him, yet nearly two hundred thousand men matched their deadly strength that day ; hundreds fell, died, and were hidden forever from human eyes.” THE RALLY AROUND THE COLORS. 355 Lieutenant Gresham of the Nineteenth Alabama, was a prisoner in our hands immediately after the capture of Colonel Harriman, and said to me, ‘‘ We captured your colonel, I think, a large, tall man whose name was Harra- something.” ‘* Harriman,” I suggested; and he said, ‘Yes that’s the name: he is a brave man. When cap- tured, he said, ‘Take good care of me, boys: I know you will, I am terribly wounded ;’ and he was, but he was tenderly cared for.” The men of the Seventeenth Michigan, on our right, as we made the charge, sprang up every man of them, and went in with us, saying, ‘‘ Bully for the old Eleventh New Hampshire !—that’s the way to do it:—we could have done so if we had had any offi- cers good for anything ;”—and they did valiant service with the Eleventh. The ground was covered with the dead and dying. When the Eleventh fell back, every man caring for himself, the writer came upon the colors of the regiment planted near the first line of works captured from the rebels that day, and by them were some half a dozen men, feeling proud that the colors of the old Eleventh New Hampshire were the nearest the enemy of any in the Ninth Corps; at this moment General Potter came dashing through the smoke from the rear, and seeing the Eleventh’s colors, and their.squad of defenders, said, “Bully for the Eleventh New Hampshire ! Remain where you are, halt every man who comes this way, and I will send you reinforcements ;” and, turning about, disappeared in the smoke again. ‘The men of the regiment began to rally around their colors, and in two hours’ time about 130 had joined the regimental line. Shortly after dark an order came detailing the regi- ment on the picket at the left, in a wood near the enemy, under orders to see that every man was at his post; no sleep or loud talking was to be allowed, and no matches 356 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. were to be lighted. The night was one of great anxiety at Grant’s head-quarters, which were in communication with the regiment half hourly during the night, fearing the enemy would attempt its old tactics of doubling up the army and sending it back over the Rapidan. LETTER OF ADJUTANT MORRISON. The following letter of Adjutant C. R. Morrison, written on the battle-field of The Wilderness to his brother, will be read with much interest: IN LINE OF BATTLE, May 7, 1864. Yesterday morning we were ordered to be in readiness at half past one to move without noise, and were in motion soon after that time. We marched about four or five miles, and by daylight arrived at the scene of the previous day’s engagement: we were immediately sent to the front. The battle had already commenced on our right. The Second Brigade. Colonel Griffin, composed of the 6th, gth, and 11th New Hampshire, 31st Maine and 17th Vermont (the 9th New Hampshire being absent), was marched by the front in two lines of battle’ through a thick close growth of pines, and then across an open field about three fourths of a mile, without discovering any enemy. Then, again by the left flank into another thick undergrowth on our left, the length of the brigade, then by the post in the thick woods. We soon found ourselves directly opposite a rebel battery, which opened upon us, doing but little harm, as they could not depress their guns enough to reach us, sheltered as we were under the hill on which the battery was placed. There we lay several hours, till noon, the day being very hot; occasionally the balls whistling past, whilst the shelling was kept up, the shells passing over our heads and exploding some distance beyond. One or two were wounded here. At noon we were again taken by the left flank through the woods, to the left of the place where we entered in the morning in two lines of battle, in the first front, and went into the woods half a mile to the left of the place where we entered in the morning. When a short distance in the woods, the 17th Vermont formed on our right, the 6th New Hampshire on our left, and we continued to advance over several ASSESS AG EK “FaOLODINEG SNIATIUD QW "UdtdddiidéditiLiddddsiddhidissdddiithisddddiddddddssece” AIRS XD WAXD SQ SAS EQS MO ALS SS SESSA QOH HH S/O ous MOINS) 10 SHUOM HLYVF ASSAULT AT SHAND HOVSIE . 199 ad 4 WHO mM git vd lilt i MES ISSN WAM) nee SACL Ay = ~ \ Aan Mary WA WAS hohe = i aia. LETTER FROM ADJUTANT MORRISON. 357 lines of battle till we reached the front, and the firing immediately com- menced. Still farther on the left, in the first line of battle, were other regiments,—I think from the First Brigade, Second Division. In our rear was a second line of battle, and behind that two others, and after a spirited contest of a few minutes, the order was given to ‘* Advance, advance, advance!” and on we went, fighting as we went, the supports in our rear following up. Coming to a halt, the contest was kept up for some litile time. At this point Lieutenant-Colonel Collins of our regiment was shot through the head. I was within a few feet of him at the time, and probably at this halt Lieutenant Hutchins was killed, although he was not found until this morning. He must have been killed on the spot, shot through the neck, also in the leg. I gave buta passing look at Lieutenant-Colonel Collins’s face: he was insensible. The order had been given to advance, and I succeeded with some diffi- culty in breaking the knot that had gathered about him (telling them it was plain they could do nothing for him), and in starting them forward. The fire became hotter; ‘‘ Advance, advance” was the word, and a portion of the right wing of our regiment started back, but Colonel Harriman, with pistol in hand, endeavored to stop them. I did allI could to assist him, and succeeded in stopping quite a number, but the time lost in the attempt to avert the retreat gave the second line an opportunity to come up, for it had started quickly, and followed closely upon us. I put a portion of its men into this line and then into the third, which was there in a minute, and went along with that a considerable distance, urging on the men just as if they had belonged to my own regiment. This line having been somewhat broken, the command came to a halt. I immediately reported to the colonel of the regiment, told him I had been separated from my regiment, and should be happy to render him any service in my power. He asked me if I had been hard at work for an hour past; I said Yes, but not so but that I could perform any service he wished (I didn’t tell him how I had been hard at work all day thus far). He said if I were willing, he should like to have me take six good men and go to the front, and find any of his men and bring them back to the line he was forming anew; and I told him to furnish the men, and with them I started: The sergeant-major volunteered to go with us (I had told the colonel I was adjutant), and off we went in a hurry, inquiring for the 1ogth New York, and I also for the Eleventh New Hampshire, and, having learned the direction it had taken, marched that way. We had gone Ioo or 150 rods, I should judge, when to our left and a little in advance I saw a regiment coming back in hot haste by the flank, and immediately to 358 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. the right of them a promiscuous crowd of fugitives were running as fast as their legs could carry them, and it was evident that our front had all given way. On looking back, I saw that my company were all on the move; and beyond, the supporting line which I had left was nowhere to be seen. After coming some little distance, I saw some little efforts by officers before me to rally the fugitives on a new line, and I stopped and tried to help, but it was of no use, for the tide swept on; but still farther a new line was partly formed, and seeing it I looked for the Eleventh New Hampshire. Scarcely a man was to be found; I found the colors, the color-sergeant with them. I looked in vain for the men: they had been scattered like the leaves of autumn. Officers could be found, but no men; but after awhile the men began to gather about the «old flag,” and in the course of two hours we had 130 guns. We were again put into line of battle at the front, where we have since remained. At the time of my writing, we have 265 guns for duty. Our field return shows two officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Collins and Lieutenant Hutchins, killed; one a prisoner, Colonel Harriman; three wounded, Captains H. O. Dudley, Company C, slightly; J. B. Clark, Company H, severely; J. C. Currier, in the face; J. W. Taylor, Sergeant-Major, severely; and thirty enlisted men wounded and forty missing and reported prisoners. It is not easy to account satisfactorily for the stampede. -The line intrusted to me in the eagerness of the advance drove the rebels over two lines of breastworks, the Eleventh going as far as any of them, and then the rebels began a flank move- ment upon the left of the regiment. The regiment upon our extreme left, instead of swinging around to meet it, withdrew to the rear by the order of its commander; the rest of the line, seeing they were flanked, came off ina hurry. Colonel Harriman was taken, probably, near the first line of breastworks, by a company of the 19th Alabama: Lieutenant Gresham of that company, who was wounded by us—I don't mean our regiment—in a subsequent attack upon our lines, so informed us. I felt a little unpleasant that I did not go as far as the regiment: the satisfactory view of the matter is, that I was separated from it in the performance of duty, and at once rendered what service I could elsewhere, committing all my interests to Him who is over all. I can say truly, that throughout the day, by His favor, I did my whole duty in the way that seemed to be best, and without fear. Upon the retreat, indeed, a sense of shame came over me lest I should be wounded in the back, where mother told me not to be. It should be stated that about one third of our number were new recruits of the sort which New LETTER FROM ADJUTANT MORRISON. 359 Hampshire has furnished of late. Although constantly exposed from the beginning to the termination of the attack, by the protection of Heaven I have been kept from all harm, and to His name be the praise. The day was very warm, the men were started off at two o’clock a. m., without coffee in all the weary day, and were loaded down with their heavy packs. The day before the right wing marched twenty miles, under a hot sun, and the left wing twenty-one or twenty-two miles. CHAPTER XII. BATTLES OF SPOTTSYLVANIA, NorRTH ANNA, AND COLD HarRBoR— CROSSING THE JAMES—THE ASSAULT AT THE SHAND Housz— LIEUTENANT Dimick’s CAPTURE, IMPRISONMENT, AND EscaPE— REMINISCENCES. : So ended the two days of terrific fighting in the Wil- derness. The most careful estimates give the loss of the Union forces in this conflict as 18,000 in round num- bers, of whom 6,000 were prisoners. The rebel loss was II,000. Lee had met his equal in strategy, and his superior in pluck and perseverance for fighting in the open field. The rebel general was satisfied that he could not main- tain a contest with Grant upon the line he had chosen,. so he withdrew his forces and placed them behind his intrenchments, putting himself upon the defensive. Grant, undismayed by the losses of the previous two days, determined to renew his march southward towards Richmond at once, and therefore proceeded to place his army between Lee and the latter place. Warren, with his Fifth Corps, was ordered to lead in the movement by the flank, along the Brock road, by way of Todd’s tavern. Hancock followed him with the Second Corps, while Sedgwick with the Sixth Corps, and Burnside with the Ninth Corps, moved by way of Chancellorsville. ‘*Be ready to fall in for a night’s march” was the order received by the Eleventh at 4 p. m. on Saturday, the 7th, and shortly afterward it filed out of the woods and went down the road to near the ‘‘ Lacey house,” where the men stacked arms and got some coffee. The entire army was in motion by the flank. SPOTTSVLVANTIA. 361 At this point the regiment was met by the Ninth New Hampshire, which had just come up from guarding the railroad below. It gave the men of the Eleventh a warm greeting, and had many good words for the splendid manner in which we did our duty the day before. At dusk the regiment filed up the road half a mile, and stacked arms in successive lines of battle with the other regiments of the brigade, under orders to be ready to ‘move ata moment’s notice.” Here the regiment rested until five o’clock the next morning, with the thundering rattle of artillery and the tramping of soldiers passing by during this whole time. The Second Brigade, sup- ported by some cavalry, brought up the rear of the army, and, marching some five miles, lay in line of battle until 2 p. m., when it changed front to repel a threatened attack in its rear by some rebel cavalry. Three lines of battle were formed and remained in position until about dark, when an orderly dashed up with the welcome order, ‘‘ Bivouac, and get some sleep if possible; every- thing is working lovely.” It hadn’t been very lovely for the men of the Second Brigade, who had been lying in the broiling sun upon a sandy plain for several hours. The next day, the gth, the Third Division of the Ninth Corps, under General Willcox, was ordered to move to the ford of the Ny river, on the Fredericksburg and Spottsylvania road. A sharp skirmish took place, but the enemy were forced back and’ a lodgment was made by Willcox on the opposite bank. The rebels made a desperate attempt to dislodge the Union troops, but large reinforcements were sent, among tlem the Eleventh, and the enemy were forced to retire. ‘‘The enemy is obsti- nate,” Grant said: and most truly they were. Lee had by this time divined Grant’s purpose of get- ting in his rear, if possible, and he undertook to foil him at every prominent point. He hurried his forces to 362 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Spottsylvania Court House, and there, with strong forti- fications, stood directly in the Union general’s path. The fighting was incessant, both by night and day or nearly so, upon some part of the lines. Every inch of the ground was disputed by Lee. He had momentous interests at stake. In Grant he had met his match asa strategist, who, with a perfect bull-dog tenacity at the: Wilderness, said to Lee and to the country, in so many words, ‘‘ We are not going back across the Rapidan this time. Iam going to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.” Lee had found out that he meant what he said. Consequently he threw himself into the terri- ble struggle with all the brilliant ability of which he was the possessor. Grant had sent his teams to the rear. All communication with his base of supplies was broken up and abandoned. ‘‘ Forward by the left flank! ” was the clarion order, and the officers and men of the Army of the Potomac turned their faces to the front with a certainty of terrific fighting and with only partially filled haversacks, trusting in Providence to give them success in the former, certain that then the latter would be well filled. With the spirit of its intrepid commander this grand army heroically took up the task imposed upon it. On the roth of May there was much heavy fighting pre- paratory to the final conflict, which could not be delayed long. The Ninth Corps held the extreme left of the army, and during the afternoon of this day an attack was made upon the enemy’s lines, and the Eleventh, together with the other regiments of the Second Brigade, advanced under a heavy fire and gained a position only a short distance from the court-house. This position was aban- doned later in the day by order of Grant, notwithstanding the remonstrance of Burnside. The abandonment of this advanced position proved a mistake. SPOTISYLVANIA, 363 On the 11th there was but little fighting. Both armies were apparently girding up their loins for the great struggle. During the afternoon the Second Brigade was ordered on the double-quick to a point where the rebels threatened an attack, and in a few minutes after reach- ing it was ordered back to its old position. Infantry, and battery after battery, vied with each other as to who should come out ahead in the race,—and all this in the midst of a heavy rain, with the roads and fields filled with splashing mud. ‘‘Rest upon your arms and be regdy to advance at 3 a. m.,” was the order given when the old position was reached. With anxious hearts the men stood around their camp-fires in the pitiless storm, speculating as to the chances of the morrow, and with sad but heroic hearts wondering if they should survive the terrible carnage which they knew full well was before them. The men of different regiments mingled together—for many pleasant friendships had been formed—and many hasty but earnest good-byes were spoken as the order ‘Fall in, Second Brigade!” was received. Grant had determined to attack Lee near his right centre, and for this purpose Hancock, who with his Second Corps was to make the attack, moved to the left about midnight unobserved by the enemy, a dense fog covering his movement. When the first gray light of the morning appeared he moved four divisions of his corps swiftly forward and engaged General Bushrod Johnson. The fighting was severe, and was hand to hand at some points. Johnson was soon captured with 3,000 prisoners and twenty-five guns. Among the prisoners was General George H. Stewart, a noted rebel of Baltimore, and an old army friend of. Hancock’s. It was reported at the time that at his capture Hancock, extending his hand, said, ‘‘How are you, Stewart?” Stewart very haugh- 364. ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. tily replied, «‘I am General Stewart of the Confederate army, and under the circumstances I decline to take your hand.” MHancock replied, ‘‘ And under any other circumstances, general, I should not have offered it.” When Hancock made this attack the Ninth Corps began its movement, and the Second Brigade, with the Ninth New Hampshire largely deployed as skirmishers, went into its work in fine style. Jumping a wide ditch, onward it went with wild cheers and the greatest enthu- siasm, and joined Hancock as he was in the midst of his attack. A line was formed close under the enemy’s lines. A regimen® of the enemy, dressed in Union over- coats as a ruse, came up in front of the Second Brigade, but on the supposition that they were Union troops, the word was passed along the line, ‘‘ Don’t fire: they are our men.” Just as they came to the Eleventh Regiment, they seemed to have discovered the little gap existing between the Ninth and Second Corps, and they com- menced making a right half-wheel with the evident pur- pose of doubling up and taking the Eleventh prisoners. But their movement was discovered, and the officer! in command of the left wing, gave the command to “Fire!” and what were not killed or wounded of that rebel line of men quickly disappeared. The fighting was terrific. Again and again the enemy dashed against our line, to be as often hurled back; and for several hours the men of both armies surged back and forth, the rebels vainly endeavoring to break the Union line and avenge them- selves for the severe drubbing they were receiving. Hancock’s surprise was something they could not well overlook. The Eleventh stood like a wall of adamant. More than 125 of the brave and gallant men of the regiment fell dead or wounded, yet the surviving men quailed not. Near midday the Eleventh were notified that they would 1Captain Cogswell. SPOTTSYLVANIA. 365 be relieved by the Fifty-first New York, and receive orders to fall back and replenish their ammunition. They did so, but the first fire the Fifty-first received was all they wanted. Away they went, men and officers, to the rear, and the Eleventh immediately took up its old posi- tion. And so, amid the terrible roar and crash of hundreds of pieces of artillery belching forth deadly missiles from their brazen throats, amid the incessant rattling of an hun- dred thousand muskets filling the air with their leaden hail, and with red hot shells and solid shot and grape and canister, screaming, shrieking, plunging, and bursting on all sides, amid the most pitiful cries and groans of the maimed and dying, and in a terrific storm, accompa-. nied with vivid flashes of lightning and the bellowing of thunder, peal after peal, the great battle raged, present- ing a scene of awful, majestic grandeur, such as no one can comprehend, much less describe, who was not a witness thereof. Lee, having found to his great loss that he had at last met a foeman worthy of his master abilities, and being unable to break the Union lines and recover his lost ground, slackened his fire somewhat, and only occa- sional dashes were made. A serious attempt was made shortly after noon to dislodge the first division of the Ninth Corps, which was on the left of the Second Corps; but Lieutenant Benjamin was again on hand with his artillery, and the rebels were hurled back with great loss. The sun went down that day on one of the blood- iest battle-fields of the whole war. The Eleventh lost heavily, among the wounded being Adjutant Morrison and Lieutenant J. E.

Mr. Woodbury, in his history of the Ninth Corps, says, in part, this of this day’s fight,— ‘‘The battles of the week culminated on the 12th, when the fighting was resumed with redoubled energy. General Hancock’s Corps in the early dawn made a par- ticularly gallant attack upon a salient of the enemy’s works, striking them upon his right centre and com- pletely surprising the foe in that quarter, capturing and sending to the rear General Johnson’s division almost entire, with its commanding general. ‘Twenty pieces of artillery also fell into our hands. Our whole line was closed up. The Ninth Corps dashed into the fight with the utmost enthusiasm, and speedily joined General Hancock’s troops in their daring vent- ure. For an hour or two it seemed as though our men would carry everything before them. But at nine o’clock the enemy had become fully alive to the necessity of resistance and made a counter attack against our lines. For three hours longer the fight continued with exhibi- tions of the most desperate valor and with terrible car- nage. The rebel columns of attack dashed in vain against our lines, advancing with unflinching resolution and retiring only when broken up by the withering and destructive fire which was brought to bear against them. At noon the enemy gave up his. attempts to force back our troops, but, he had succeeded in preventing our further advance. ‘* General Grant was not yet ready to stop the conflict. He determined, if possible, to turn and double up the enemy’s right flank. It was a desperate enterprise. The enemy’s right was resting on marshy and difficult ground. But after a temporary lull to afford a little rest to the tired troops the battle was renewed in the after- noon. ‘‘Our troops were massed upon our left, the Ninth SPOTTSYLVANIA. 367 Corps occupying a conspicuous position. Rain had commenced falling in the morning, and the field of battle became a mass of gory mud. Still the struggle was once more entered upon with unflagging courage. Again and again did our troops press forward, to be met with a most stubborn resistance. The rebels fought with remarkable obstinacy, and our men were not inferior in pertinacity to the determined foe. Step by step the ground was disputed with resolute courage. The fight was deadly. The slain and disabled covered the ground. The frightful carnage was only closed by the darkness of the night, so desperate was rebel hate, so ea was patriot valor. ‘‘ During the entire day the Ninth Corps was effect- ively engaged and lost heavily. At the outset it had promptly moved up to General Hancock’s support, and through the forenoon had been most active in the fight. The corps had been posted across the Fredericksburg turnpike, upon the extreme left of the army, with dense thickets in front. The opposing corps of the enemy, protected by rifle-pits and timber breastworks, was under the command of General A. P. Hill. ‘¢TIn this movement Colonel Griffin’s brigade, of Gen- eral Potter’s division, had the advance, and, connecting with General Hancock’s left, shared in the glory and danger of the attack. The brigade succeeded in carry- ing a portion of the enemy’s works, including a battery of two guns. In the successful result of that attack Gen- eral Hancock’s command became somewhat disturbed, and was in turn the object of assault. Colonel Griffin’s position enabled him at this moment to be of effectual service; the enemy was handsomely met, and Hancock was saved. ‘¢So prominent had been the gallantry of the brigade commander upon this and former occasions, that General 368 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Burnside recommended him for instant promotion. The remainder of General Potter’s division was equally for- ward both in attack and defence. The fruits of the move- ment were the capture of two lines of detached rifle-pits, a number of prisoners, and a part of the enemy’s main line. The rupture of the connection with the Second Corps enabled the enemy to check our progress, but he could not retake his lost ground. ‘“‘The Corps had advanced about a mile, had suc- cessfully charged the enemy’s first line, had repulsed his attack inflicting heavy loss upon him, and ended the day with entrenching immediately in front of his works. The losses had been very severe,—over a thousand killed, wounded, and missing in the Third Division alone. Again the day closed upon a bloody field, and the enemy was still unsubdued.” That night entrenchments were thrown up, and there was but little sleep;—and still the rain continued, and the air grew warmer,—and well it was so, for the clothing upon the men was perfectly saturated and dripping with the incessant rain. There were large numbers of rebel dead lying in front of the Second Brigade, and the air soon became sickening. The dead of the Ninth New Hampshire, who lay near the ‘‘ bloody angle,” were brought out during the night of the 13th, and in the morning the dead of that regiment and the Sixth and the Eleventh New Hampshire were buried together in a long trench upon a little knoll just in the rear of the Union lines. Shortly after noon of the 16th, the Eleventh received an order to make a reconnoissance for the purpose of as- certaining the position of the rebels in its immediate front. ‘Batteries were opened on the right and on the left, and at a given signal the regiment went out over the works in fine style, and amid a severe fire gained a slight eleva- SPOTTSYLVANIA. 369 tion in its front and reconnoitred the enemy’s works; but the fire made it impossible to remain, and it was ordered back. The regiment was gone twenty-two min- utes from its works, and lost two killed and twelve wounded, one of whom, belonging to the color guard, died three days later.1 The boys received many good words for their bravery from Brigadier-General Griffin. Following is General Griffin’s reason for this recon- noissance, and why and how the Eleventh New Hamp- shire was selected for the task :. ‘The battle was fought on the 12th. Both armies were pretty well crippled, and lay facing each other for three days, like two exhausted tigers. Then Grant, fear- ing that Lee might slip away from him as Beauregard did from Halleck at Shiloh, sent word to Burnside, or possibly told him personally, to feel the enemy’s line and see if he was still there. Burnside always consid- ered Potter to be his best fighting division commander ; and Potter was always friendly to me, I suppose because I was always ready to do any amount of hard work. Burnside turned the order over to Potter for execution, and Potter to me. I was left fo make my own disposi- tion, select my own troops, and I took the Eleventh New Hampshire as a matter of convenience, and because I considered it one of my best regiments,—one that could be relied upon. The moment we showed a force in front of our lines, as moving towards them, they met us with a deadly fire of musketry, proving that they were still there. I immediately withdrew my troops and reported the facts through the proper channel. Then Grant knew that Lee was not to be driven out of that place, and he decided to make his flank movement to the left.” Another move was made on the 18th, when nearly one half of the army was in motion. An attempt was made 1 Jonathan B. Rowe, Company I. 24 370 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. to capture the enemy’s works in ‘a wood opposite the Ninth Corps. Among other troops engaged in the attempt were the First and Second Divisions of the Ninth Corps. The Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh New Hamp- shire, and the Seventeenth Vermont, advanced over the broad plain towards the enemy’s works, and were met by thousands of troops running back and away from the deadly fire like so many cowards. A portion of the Ninth New Hampshire was swept along with them but quickly returned, and the four regiments finally succeeded in gaining a position close under the enemy’s works, and these four regiments were the only ones who succeeded in reaching this point, where, amidst a terrific shelling, they threw up intrenchments, and remained until near night, when they were withdrawn by the left flank through a narrow defile. The troops during this day were commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Pearson, of the Sixth New Hampshire, a brave and accomplished officer, who was killed at North Anna a few days later. The men were relieved from this perilous position in single file, a strong picket line under Captain Tilton keeping up an incessant firing, while one man at a time fell back until all were fairly out of the woods. On the day following the army was again in motion, with the North Anna river as the objective point. On Saturday morning, the 2oth, the picket line of the Second Brigade was advanced and established close to that of the enemy. A little past noon the rebels made a furious dash upon our pickets, an entire regiment taking part in the charge. They were handsomely repulsed at every point, and at 4 p. m. the pickets were relieved and ordered to join the brigade, which, with the entire army, was again on the move. They did so a little before midnight, and an all night march was made, everybody inquiring, ‘‘ Where are we going now?” Ats a. m. the brigade stacked f & NORTH ANNA. 371 arms and rested until noon, when the march was resumed. We passed by Bowling Green, thence turning, westerly to near Salem Court House, where we bivouacked for the night—a most welcome rest to men who had marched thirty miles within the last twenty-four hours, skirmish- ing a good deal of the way. The next day’s march of sixteen miles brought the troops near New Bethel church. The rebels had a strong position at this point, but were driven out of it, and the Ninth Corps rested on the north bank of the North Anna river. When the army was put in motion on the 20th, the Ninth Corps marched down the north bank of the Po, and during the afternoon the enemy was met near Stannard’s mill and driven across the river. In this engagement the Second Brigade was hastened forward to assist, but the enemy retired after a short time, and the march was resumed. We made a night of it, halting in the early morning for a short rest, and during the day reached the North Anna. ' The Ninth Corps took up a position on the north bank opposite the angle in the enemy’s line of works. These formed nearly two sides of a triangle. The Second Di- vision crossed the next day at Chesterfield bridge and engaged the enemy. Intrenchments were thrown up, and everything made ready for an attack of the enemy. The next day was one full of expectations, but no demon- stration was made by either side. On the 27th a sharp fight took place, and the lines of the Second Brigade were advanced quite a distance. Here the brigade lost one of its bravest and best men.! But Grant ordered another ‘move by the left flank, and the troops recrossed the river that night, the Eleventh bringing up the rear. The bridge had been muffled with branches of trees to deaden the sound of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry H. Pearson, Sixth New Hampshire. 372 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. artillery crossing it, and it was burned as soon as the Eleventh had passed over it. The shelling to which we were exposed at North Anna was one of the most severe experiences of the campaign. The march was slow, the roads and every passable place being filled with artillery, teams, and troops. The Pamunky river was crossed at Hanover Town ford, eighteen miles from Richmond, on the 29th, and on the 3oth took position in line of battle and drove the enemy out of two lines of works. Cold Harbor was near at hand! The army was fighting and digging its way into Richmond! Ominous signs of a great battle were to be heard and seen. Grant and Lee were manceuvring for position. On the 25th Grant issued an order incorporating the Ninth Army Corps with the Army of the Potomac, Burn- side receiving his orders from Meade as its commander. Burnside’s cheerful acquiescence is a notable instance of his patriotism, for Meade was his inferior in rank. On the 27th the army was again in motion, and the Second Brigade had the advance of the Ninth Corps. We crossed the Pamunky river about 10 p. m., the whole corps taking position between the Fifth and Sixth Corps, and immediately began to intrench. The next day the corps crossed Tolopotomoy creek, the enemy disputing every inch of the way. There was heavy skir- mishing all day, and the rebels were routed at every ‘point. On the 3zst a still further advance was made under a sharp fire, several rifle-pits were carried, and the men pushed close up to the enemy’s lines. There was continual fighting, charging, and countercharging during June 1 and 2, and during this time the Ninth Corps was moved from the centre of the army to the right. During the afternoon of the 2d, the main line of the Ninth Corps ran parallel with the Mechanicsville road, COLD HARBOR. 373: the left resting near Bethesda church. As this move- ment was being made, a strong force of the enemy struck the corps in the rear, a very heavy thunder- shower being in progress at the time. Lines of battle were formed in all directions, and shot and shell and bullets were poured into the enemy’s ranks without stint, and they returned as good as they received. The Sec- ond Brigade was on the extreme right of the corps, with a heavy skirmish line in front. Just before dark this line was attacked with great vigor by the enemy, and the result was the severest skirmish the Eleventh had ever taken part in to this date. But the boys on the picket line held their ground firmly, and captured a great many prisoners. Lieutenant Morrison captured three, and was himself shortly after severely wounded, as was also Lieutenant Shepard. Lines were changed and new intrenchments thrown up during the night, and everybody was busy in anticipation of the terrible assault which was expected the next day. At sunrise of the 3d of June an assault was made along the whole Union line most bravely and swiftly, but was as swiftly repulsed. Charge after charge was made— by regiments, by brigades, and by divisions. Missiles of death filled the air. Strong, brave, daring men did all that men could do, rushing close up to the lines of the enemy and almost breaking them; but at the critical time the reserves failed to come to our support, as was intended, and the enemy’s lines remained unbroken. In half an hour from the time the first assault was made, fully ten thousand men lay dead and wounded. Still later in the day Meade resolved upon another assault, made his dispositions accordingly, and issued orders to his corps commanders; but the men who did the fight- ing had had their fill for one day, and refused to advance again in such a useless slaughter. 374 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. The Eleventh was the first regiment of its brigade to open the attack in the morning, and shortly after the brigade advanced in fine manner (the Sixth and Ninth New Hampshire, with the Eleventh, being conspicuous), and soon encountered the enemy in strong intrenchments. For three hours the fighting was desperate. Division after division was brought up until the entire Ninth Corps was brought face to face with the enemy at the closest range, ready for the order to make a second assault... The assaults upon the left of the army hav- ing closed, Burnside received orders to desist from further operations. And thus ended the great historic battle of Cold Harbor. Greeley, in his ‘‘American Conflict,” says,—‘‘ Had not Burnside been ordered to desist, and had his corps made the assault for which he had made his dispositions, Burnside must have worsted the enemy ;” and this was the verdict of eminent military men. The men of the old Ninth Corps fought with heroic bravery, and, had the order for the second assault been given, they would have done their best to win. But the enemy were still in front, and Grant, after pon- dering upon the matter, quickly decided to throw his army across the James and approach Richmond from the south. The rebels were still defiant, and firing was almost continual, day and night. A desperate charge was made upon the Ninth Corps about midnight of the 6th, and there was a terrific shelling. The charge was gallantly repulsed, and the new dispositions of the army were made, as Grant was manceuvring to get his army across the James,—a very difficult and dangerous feat in the presence of an army on the alert, as was the rebel army. The Confederates were under the impression that the Union army was ‘“‘ whipped,” an impression that 1 The Eleventh Regiment gained control of a rebel battery, killing every gunner and most of the horses. ON THE MOVE. — 375 they got rid of a few days later, when they found that Grant was still alive. The Ninth Corps now occupied the extreme right of the army, and with the Fifth Corps was alternately mov- ing by the flank and rear, moving all the time to the left, to gain a position from which the whole army could again be put on the march. A hill in our front changed hands several times, but General Potter determined to secure it once for all, and after several fights succeeded in forcing the enemy to abandon it. It was then strongly fortified by our troops. On the 7th the dead and wounded were cared for under a flag of truce, and that notwith- standing the enemy in front of the Ninth Corps kept up their firing and took no notice of the flag. There was much excitement in the evening of the gth over a report that Ewell and 1,500 of his men had been captured by the Ninth Corps, but, as that corps had not been engaged in a fight that day, the men took no stock in the report. However, it served a good purpose: it was taken up by the entire army; bands played, there was great cheering, and the spirits of the men rose correspondingly. But the sick have been sent away, our baggage is on board of transports at the ‘* White House,” ammunition and rations are being issued, and an order has been received, ‘‘Be ready to move at a moment’s notice.” During the night of the rath of June the Ninth Corps was very secretly and silently withdrawn from the enemy’s front, and put upon its march. So well was this accomplished that the enemy did not know for an hour after the departure of the corps that our pickets had been withdrawn, and during this time they kept up their firing, by both artillery and musketry. About daylight it reached Tunstall’s station. From here, after a short halt, it marched by way of Olive church, and at night 376 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. bivouacked near Sloane’s crossing, on the Chickahominy. Early the next morning it crossed the Chickahominy at Jones’s bridge, following the Sixth Corps, and, march- ing by way of Tyler’s mills, reached the James river that evening. The next evening it crossed the James near Fort Powhatan, on a pontoon bridge in which there were 105 boats, the distance being nearly three fifths ofa mile. This bridge was one of the longest ever laid during the war. Then a forced march was made towards Petersburg, and at sunrise we filed into a field and stacked arms for coffee. The night was very warm, and the dust from marching very blinding and suffocating ; so the men fell out badly. The distance was twenty-five miles. For three hours of the march only one rest of fifteen minutes was had. Men straggled in the rear for miles. Some companies of different regiments stacked arms with less than ten men present. The Eleventh showed the most éndurance of any regiment in the Second Brigade, two thirds of the regiment being present when coffee was made. After a short rest the march was resumed, and a little past noon the Ninth Corps was in position on the extreme left of the army, ready for an assault upon the enemy’s works, which were the outposts for the defence of Petersburg. The Second Corps was to make the assault, assisted by the Second Division of the Ninth Corps. General Grif- fin with his brigade reported to General Barlow of the Second Corps, and at 6 p. m. the advance was made in the face of a murderous fire. The Eleventh and Second Maryland succeeded in getting close under a rebel bat- tery. They were soon after joined by the Sixth and Ninth New Hampshire, and later by the remainder of the brigade. The firing was continuous for several hours, and many men were wounded and a few killed. At midnight General Griffin received an order to carry THE SHAND HOUSE ASSAULT. 377 the works by assault, the troops to be ready to move at 3a.m. The Eleventh New Hampshire, the Seventeenth Vermont, and the Thirty-first Maine were detailed to make the charge, supported by the Sixth and Ninth New Hampshire, the Second Maryland, and the Thirty-second Maine. The men were divested of everything that would make unnecessary noise, and as the watch ticked three o'clock, with a bright dawn in the east, the order was silently given to advance. Forward the men went with a stealthy, quick step. The top of the little knoll was gained, and with a rush the little plain was crossed. The men jumped upon the intrenchments before the enemy had time even to discharge their guns already loaded. ‘* Surrender, you d—d rebels!” shouted Lieu- tenant Frost, in the face of twenty guns levelled at him. In five minutes from the time the advance was begun the fort was ours, with its four guns, four stands of col- ors, twenty-four horses, six hundred men, and fifteen hundred stands of small arms. It was one of the finest assaults of the whole war. Lieutenant Dimick, of Com- pany H, was taken prisoner, and several were wounded, among them Sergeant Will C. Wood, of Company H. As soon as the works had been taken, the brigade pushed on for the crest of a hill a short distance away ; but, just as the open plain near it was reached, a terrific fire was opened from masked batteries, and the troops fell back to the line that had been captured. The fight- ing this day was mostly done by the Ninth Corps, assisted by a portion of the Fifth and Second corps. All the lines captured in the early morning were held and intrenched. We give the following graphic account of this brilliant charge by the well known war correspondent, Charles C. Coffin : ‘On the night of the 16th, Burnside arrived with the Ninth Corps. Neill’s division of the Sixth also arrived. 378 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Burnside attacked the rebels, but was repulsed. The lines were reconnoitred, and it was determined to make a second assault. About half a mile south of the house of Mr. Dunn was the residence of Mr. Shand, held by the rebels. During the cannonade which preceded the assault, a rebel officer entered the house and sat down to play a piano. Suddenly he found himself sitting on the floor, the stool having been knocked away by a solid shot, without injury to himself. ‘‘The house was a large two-story structure, fronting east, painted white, with great chimneys at either end, shaded by. buttonwoods and gum trees, with a peach orchard in rear. Fifty paces from the front door was a narrow ravine, fifteen or twenty feet deep, with a brook, fed by springs, trickling northward. West of the house, about the same distance, was another brook, the two joining about twenty rods north of the house. A Rebel brigade held this tongue of land with four guns beneath the peach-trees. Their main line of breastworks was along the edge of the ravine east of the house. South, and on higher ground, was a redan—a strong work with two guns, which enfiladed the ravine. Yet General Burnside thought that if he could get his troops into posi- tion unperceived, he could take the tongue of land, which would break the Rebel line and compel them to evacuate the redan. Several attempts had been made by the Sec- ond Corps to break the line farther, but without avail. This movement, if not. successful, would be attended with great loss. Nevertheless it was determined to make the assault. . ‘* It was past midnight when General Potter led his divi- sion of the Ninth into the ravine. The soldiers threw aside their knapsacks, haversacks, tin plates, and. cups, and moved stealthily. Not a word was spoken. The watches of the officers in command had been set to a CHARLES CARLETON COFFIN’S ACCOUNT. 379 second. They reached the ravine where the pickets had been stationed, and moved south, keeping close under the bank. Above them, not fifteen paces distant, were the rebel pickets, lying behind a bank of sand. If their listening ears caught the sound of a movement in the ravine they gave no alarm, and the troops took their position, undisturbed. The moon was full. Light clouds floated in the sky. Nota sound, save the distant rumble of a wagon or an occasional shot from the pickets, broke the silence of the night. The attacking column was composed of Griffin’s and Curtin’s brigades, with Griffin on the right. He had the Seventeenth Vermont and the Eleventh New Hampshire in his front line, and the Sixth ‘and Ninth New Hampshire and the Thirty-second Maine in the second. Curtin had six regiments,—the Thirty- sixth Massachusetts, and the Forty-fifth and Forty- eighth Pennsylvania in his front line, and the Seventh Rhode Island, the Twelfth New York and the Fifty-eighth Massachusetts in his second. The soldiers were worn with hard marching and constant fighting, and had but just arrived from City Point, yet they took their position without flinching. ‘‘ The officers looked at the hands of their watches, in the moonlight, and saw them move on to the appointed time. Fifteen minutes past three! Twenty paces! A spring up the steep bank would carry the men to the rebel pickets! Fifty paces to the muzzles of the enemy’s guns. ‘<¢ All ready!’ was whispered from man to man. They rose from the ground erect. Nota gun, not a lock clicked. The bayonet was to do the work. ‘HurRaAH!’ The lines rise like waves of the sea. There are strag- gling shots from the rebel pickets; four flashes of light from the rebel cannon by the house; two more from the redan; one volley from the infantry, wildly aimed, doing 380 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. little damage. On, up to the breastworks! Over them, seizing the guns! A minute has passed ! “Four guns, six hundred and fifty prisoners, fifteen hundred muskets, and four stands of colors are the trophies. The rebel line is broken. The great point is gained, compelling Lee to abandon the ground which he has held so tenaciously.” General Griffin, in a paper contributed to the Massa- chusetts Historical Society, says that General Potter entrusted him with the direction of the assault, assigning Curtin’s Brigade to his support. He says, — ‘‘T then spent the entire night, moving my troops through the felled timber, getting them in proper posi- tion, and preparing for the attack. I placed my brigade on the left of the Second Corps in a ravine, immediately in front of the Shand House, which the enemy held, and within one hundred yards of their lines. Curtin was on my left, and a little farther to the rear on account of the conformation of the ground. We were so near the enemy that all our movements had to be made with the utmost care and caution. Canteens were placed in knapsacks to prevent rattling, and all commands were given in whispers. I formed my brigade in two lines. Colonel Curtin formed his in the same manner. My orders were not to fire a shot, but to depend wholly on the bayonet in carrying the lines. ** Just as the dawn began to light up the east, I gave the command, ‘Forward!’ It was passed along the lines in whispers. The men sprang to their feet, and both brigades moved forward at once in well formed lines, sweeping directly over the enemy’s works, taking them completely by surprise, and carrying all before them. ‘«One gunner saw us approaching, and fired his piece. That was all we heard from them, and almost the only shot fired on either side. The rebels were asleep, with GENERAL HUMPHREY'S ACCOUNT. 381 their arms in their hands, and many of them sprang up and ran away, aS we came over. Others surrendered without resistance. We swept their lines for a mile from where my right rested, gathering in prisoners and abandoned arms and equipments all the way. Four pieces of artillery with caissons and horses, a stand of colors, six hundred prisoners, fifteen hundred stand of arms, and some ammunition fell into our hands.” General Humphreys, in his ‘‘ Virginia Campaign,” says this of the assault at the Shand House: ‘¢ The Petersburg intrenchments ran from the Appo- mattox river east a mile to the City Point Railroad, then south three miles to the Norfolk Railroad, then west four miles to a point west of the Weldon Railroad, then north two miles to the Appomattox river. The length of the intrenchment from the Norfolk Railroad west to the Jerusalem plank-road was a mile and a half. On the morning of the 16th, General Hancock, who was placed in command of all the troops that were up, made recon- noissances in his front, in the course of which, as he says, General Egan’s brigade made a spirited attack upon a redoubt on Birney’s left (Redan No. 12), and carried it in his (Egan’s) usual intrepid manner. General Hancock was now ordered to attack in his front at six p- m., General Meade having arrived on the ground. ‘*This programme was carried out, and a spirited assault was made by the Second Corps, supported by two bri- gades of the Eighteenth on the right and two of the Ninth on the left, which resulted in the capture of Redan No. 4 on the right, and Redans Nos. 13 and 14 on the left, together with their connecting lines, and in driving back the enemy along the whole line. The attacking party suffered severely. The heavy fighting ceased at dark, but several vigorous attempts were made by the enemy during the night to retake the ground. The 382 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. gallant commander of the Irish Brigade of the Second Corps, Colonel Patrick Kelly of the Eighty-eighth New York, was killed while leading his command, and Colonel Beaver of the One Hundred and Forty-eighth Pennsylvania was severely wounded. ¢ At the first dawn of day on the morning of the 17th, the division of General Potter (Ninth Corps) carried, in the most gallant manner, the redans and lines on the ridge where the Shand MHouse stood, capturing four guns, five colors, six hundred prisoners, and fifteen hundred stands of small arms. The troops (Grif- fin’s and Curtin’s brigades of Potter’s. Division) were formed in two lines in a deep ravine with precipitous slopes, close up to the works they were to attack. The command ‘‘ Forward!” was passed along the lines in whispers, and the line, without firing a shot, at once swept over the enemy’s works, taking them completely by surprise, and carrying everything before them. The Confederate troops were asleep, with their arms in their hands. The ground in the ravine from which General Potter made his attack was covered thickly with slashed timber, making it difficult to get up Ledlie’s Division to follow up Potter’s success. Potter, however, pushed for- ward until he found the enemy in a new intrenched position on the west slope of Harrison’s creek, which extended from Redan No. 3, near the Appomattox, to the works at and in the vicinity of the Norfolk Railroad. ‘On the 18th an advance was ordered along the whole line. The Ninth Corps, on the left of the Second, had to advance a mile or more, when it found itself in front of a heavy force of the enemy occupying a cut in the Norfolk Railroad,—a large ravine running parallel with the enemy’s main line. General Burnside found it necessary to drive the enemy from this cut in order to get close enough to the intrenchments to assault them. MR. WOODBURY'S DESCRIPTION. 383 General Meade again ordered a general assault by all the corps, and after some heavy fighting Burnside suc- ceeded in establishing his men within a hundred yards of the enemy’s main line. He gave the men of Potter’s Division, in which the Eleventh New Hampshire bore a prominent part, great praise for their work.” Rev. Mr. Woodbury, in his ‘‘ Ninth Army Corps,” thus vividly describes this attack : **General Potter’s Division-was selected from the Ninth Corps for the assaulting column. General Ledlie was to support the attack with the First Division. "To General Griffin’s Brigade was assigned the field of honor and danger, and to General Griffin himself was given the duty of planning and executing the immediate attack. Colonel Curtin’s Brigade was to support. General Grif- fin arranged the movement with great daring and skill. Under cover of the night he led his troops to a ravine within one hundred yards of the enemy’s position, and there formed his column of attack, his brigade in two lines, the Seventeenth Vermont, the Eleventh New Hamp- shire, and the Thirty-first Maine in front, and the Sixth and Ninth New Hampshire, the Thirty-second Maine, and the Second Maryland in support. Colonel Curtin formed his brigade with the Forty-fifth and Forty-eighth Penn- sylvania and the Thirty-sixth Massachusetts in front, sup- ported by the Seventh Rhode Island, the Second New York Rifles, and the Fifty-eighth Massachusetts. ‘‘The enemy occupied an estate at the head of the ravine belonging to a Mr. Shand, and had his head- quarters in the house, his artillery commanding the ap- proaches. ‘«So near were the enemy’s lines, that only in whis- pers could the necessary orders be communicated. Gen- eral Griffin enjoined the strictest silence upon his men, and ordered them, when advancing, not to fire a shot, but 384 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. to depend upon the bayonet for clearing the works. Even the canteens were placed inside the haversacks to pre- vent their rattling. At the first blush of the morning the word ‘‘ Forward!” was passed quietly along the column. The men sprang to their feet, and noiselessly, rapidly, vigorously moved upon the enemy, Griffin to the right, Curtin to the left. They burst upon him with the fury of a tornado. They took him completely by surprise. They swept his lines for a mile, gathering up arms, flags, cannon, and prisoners all along their victorious pathway. A stand of colors, four pieces of artillery with their caissons and horses, fifteen hundred stands of small arms, a quantity of ammunition, and six hundred prison- ers were the fruits of this splendid charge.” Rev. Mr. Woodbury, in another place in the same book, has these earnest, truthful words for the Army of the Potomac, of which the Ninth Corps was a prominent part: ‘“‘In reviewing these grand movements, extending over more than five weeks of time, almost every hour of which witnessed a combat at some point, it is impossible not to admire the wonderful resolution and bravery dis- played on both sides. General Grant, in one of his dis- patches, says that the enemy seemed ‘to have found the last ditch.” But if General Lee exhibited great capacity for defence, he soon discovered that he had met with more than his match in the tenacity, the determination, and the skill with which Grant pushed on his aggressive operations. General Lee was greatly aided by the pecul- iar formation of the country,—rivers crossing the lines of march at almost right angles; forests of vast extent, which afforded concealment for the movements of an army on its defence, or retreating ; marshes, which could be used for the protection of positions selected for a stand; hills, each one of which could speedily be made THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. 385 to become a fort: and all these strengthened by all the appliances of engineering skill, which had leisurely con- structed defensive works in view of just this contingency, or had hastily thrown them up as the emergency demanded. But all his skill, his ability, his resources, the advantages of his chosen positions, the very favor- able opportunities which the natural features of the coun- try supplied, were of little avail except to postpone defeat for a season. In the end they were compelled to give way before the indomitable will, the resistless and steady advance, the undaunted spirit, the matchless persistence and energy of General Grant and his army. ‘It is true that the advance was slow, and that every mile was marked with brave men’s blood. But still the advance was made. Positions which could not be suc- cessfully assailed without vast expenditure of human life, were turned by those flank marches in the face of an enemy, which, under the lead of unskilful men, are sure to result disastrously, but which, when made by a man of genius, are as successful as great battles won. In all those operations, the Ninth Corps participated in a man- ner to reflect the highest honor upon all its officers and men, and especially so upon its hopeful general and his division commanders. No campaign during the progress of the war was at all so severe in its demands upon human endurance and human courage as those forty days of marching and fighting. To say that the Ninth Corps in every position did all that was required of it, and commensurately suffered, is to declare sufficient praise for the living and the dead. More than one fourth of the number of those who had crossed the Rapidan had been killed or disabled from service. “In the Second and Third divisions, the reports of Generals Potter and Willcox state the losses to have been four thousand five hundred and thirty-two killed, 25 « 386 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. wounded, and missing. The losses in the Third Division were proportionately great. The remainder of the Army of the Potomac suffered in an equal degree.” The carrying of the advanced out-works in front of Petersburg by the Ninth Corps was gallantly done, and Grant in an order complimented the men for their brav- ery and their daring deeds. During the night of the 17th the rebels fell back, and a general assault was ordered by Meade to take place at four o’clock the next morning ; but the larger portion of the fighting during the day was done by the Ninth Corps. The corps this day was under the command, or rather the direction, of General Parke, and in his report to Burnside he said, ‘No better fighting has been done during the war than was done by the divisions of Generals Potter [the Second] and Willcox [the Third] during this attack.” The fight- ing of the 18th resulted in establishing the lines so long held in front of Petersburg. And now for a moment let us see what had taken place during the past few weeks. From the 6th day of May, when the Eleventh Regiment engaged in the fight at the Wilderness, until it established its line in front of Petersburg, there were forty-three days, thirty-six of which had been spent in marching, skirmishing, fight- ing, and intrenching. The battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Tolopotomoy, Bethesda church, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg had been fought. A long and wearisome distance had been passed over, fighting for every rod of it, often marching fifteen to twenty miles ina day. By intrenching at night, march- ing or fighting the next day, and the night following throwing up intrenchments, the men became so weary that at every halt for rest they fell asleep as soon as their motion stopped. No pen can adequately describe the heroism, the bravery, the endurance, and the indom- CAPTAIN DIMICK’S EXPERIENCES. 387 itable pluck of the lion-hearted, true, loyal men of the Army of the Potomac, of which the Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh New Hampshire regiments were conspicuous members, each doing its duty so manfully and faithfully as to reflect great honor upon itself and upon the state from whence it came. CAPTAIN DIMICK’S CAPTURE, IMPRISONMENT, AND ESCAPE. The following from the pen of Captain Dimick, giving an account of his capture and treatment while a prisoner, and of his marvellous escape whereby he again reached the Union lines, is full of thrilling interest. It shows in a wonderful degree the determination and character of the men whom New Hampshire sent into the service. They were always brave and faithful, full of resources, and cool in danger, and of them Captain Dimick is a fine example : ‘‘ Owing to the scarcity of officers I was placed in com- mand of the two left companies (A and H) of our regi- ment, in the advance before light, June 17, 1864. We soon reached the Shand House, and my command di- vided, part going to the left, and part, with myself and the regiment, to the right. After passing the house, in the attempt to keep my line connected, I approached a squad of men whom I supposed to bé Union men, who had gone to the left of the house. On coming to them I found myself in the midst of a party of ‘‘rebs,’” who brought their guns to an aim and ordered me to surren- der. I was immediately taken to the rear and into Petersburg, and put with Second Corps officers captured the night before. The only other man captured from the Eleventh was Corporal Huse of Company H, who after- 388 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. wards died in Andersonville. In the afternoon of the same day we were loaded into box cars with five hun- dred enlisted men, and started for Georgia. We reached Andersonville, June 23. The enlisted men were put into the stockade, but the officers were taken back next day to Macon and put into Camp Oglethorpe—an enclosure of about three acres once used as a fair ground. It was surrounded by a tight board fence about twelve feet high, near the top of which was a narrow platform for sentinels. On each of two sides, two twelve-pound brass pieces were posted to sweep the camp in case of an outbreak, and near the last of June three others were added. Twenty feet inside from the high fence was an ordinary picket fence called ‘‘ dead line,” which no prisoner was allowed to touch. There were about eighteen hundred officers in this enclosure. Colonel Harriman had been taken from there only a few weeks before, and put under fire at Charleston with fifty other officers. There was one frame building in the middle of the camp. This was used for quarters, and was packed full, so that some rough sheds had been built for the same purpose. The ground was all occupied when I arrived, and so two Pennsylvania officers of the Second Corps, who had been captured the night before I was, and myself dug a hole under the frame building, and burrowed there through- out the six weeks of our confinement in Macon. Many of the prisoners went bareheaded and barefooted, wear- ing only undershirts and drawers. They used economy in clothing, not knowing when or where they would get any more. ‘* Prison life was very monotonous, and yet not with- out diversions,—cards, checkers, chess, ball, wicket, cricket, etc., and a very few books. The sense of con- finement was terribly depressing. Prisons were very much alike, and life was much the same in them all. CAPTAIN DIMICK’S EXPERIENCES. 389 Attempts to escape were made in all, mostly by tunnel- ling, except at Columbia ,where there was no fence. Each man’s rations at Macon for five days consisted of seven pints of corn meal, one half pint sorghum, one eighth pound maggoty bacon, two tablespoonfuls beans (buggy), and two tablespoonfuls of salt. Until the last of June water for the eighteen hundred was obtained from a single spring. Three wells were then dug, and supplied with wooden pumps. . ‘We were counted every morning. A sutler was allowed to come inside, and sell to those who had money at the following prices: Flour $1.00 per cupful (not a pint), molasses $3.00 a cupful, vinegar $1.75 a cupful, onions $2.50 per dozen, coffee $18.00 per pound, eggs $4.50 a dozen, butter $6.50 per pound, lard $7.00 per pound, paper 50 cents a: sheet, and envelopes 35 cents each. All prices were in Confederate money. At this time the rebels were willing to give seven dollars in their money for one in greenbacks. Religious services were held on Sunday and during the week, conducted by the prisoners. ‘On July 28, with six hundred other prisoners, I arrived in Savannah, where we were confined in the United States Marine Hospital yard. The remainder of the camp was carried to Charleston, S. C. At Savannah we had the best treatment, best quarters, and the best food during our prison life. On September 13 we were taken to Charleston at the city jail yard. Here General Gilmore’s shells daily passed over our heads and ex- ‘ploded in the city, but no prisoners were ever injured. ‘On October 5 we were taken to Columbia, and located about two miles from the city, on the south side of the Congaree river, in an open field of about four acres with no enclosure but a line of guards. Ten or fifteen feet inside their beat was a line of stakes, which consti- 390 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. tuted our ‘‘dead line.” Four pieces of artillery were just outside, bearing on the camp, which we called Camp Sorghum, as this, with Indian meal and a little salt, was our only diet. There was no shelter save what the prisoners could construct of sods and boughs. No axe, spade, or shovel, and no cooking utensils were furnished us. Except for a few dishes, owned by some of the prisoners and loaned through the camp, we must have eaten meal and sorghum raw. After we had been there two weeks, eight axes and eight shovels were issued to the fifteen hundred officers. A small brook ran through the camp, from which water was obtained. Wood for cooking and for warmth was obtained from a piece of felled timber near by. A line of guards was thrown around a portion of it, and we were allowed to bring away what we could. ‘‘Escapes here were frequent. Men would choose a dark night, crawl as near the dead line as possible, wait until the two guards were at the farthest ends of their beats, then run for dear life. Guards would usually fire. Some were hit, but most were not. Many of those who escaped were retaken and brought back. “‘At this camp we were formed for the morning count in two ranks. ‘Two Confederate officers would then com- mence at the right and pass down the line, one in front and one in rear. Whenever an escape had been made, a comrade would. get into the right of the line, and after being counted would leave it, pass through the camp to the left, and get a double count, so that his comrade should not be missed. Myself and two comrades, who had messed together all this time, had planned to run the guard, and were waiting for a dark night. I had made a map of the route from Columbia to Knoxville, on the back side of the only letter I received while a pris- oner. A better opportunity for escape offered itself on CAPTAIN DIMICK’S EXPERIENCES. 391 the 3d of November. The wood in the lot above men- tioned having all been used, the officer in charge, whose tent was just outside our camp, allowed men to go there, give their parole, and then go to a piece of woods near by and get wood. Probably fifty men escaped, but because of the double counting it was not discovered, and the same privilege was given the next day. We decided to try it. So we gave our parole, got what wood we wanted, put on all the clothing we had, and then went to the officer’s tent and took up our parole. Then instead of going back to camp we started for the woods, hid ourselves, and waited till dark, when we commenced our journey to Knoxville. We were joined by Lieutenant W. C. Holman of the Ninth Vermont, and a major and a lieutenant from the One Hundred Forty- fifth Pennsylvania, and so had six in our party. We travelled about six miles, wholly by a compass which I always carried during the war, and which was not taken from me when captured. The second night we made about twelve miles. The next day, November 6, was Sunday, and Lieutenant Holman, being ill, decided to surrender himself, and left us. Soon after starting out Sunday night, we were captured by an orderly sergeant from Early’s army, home ona furlough. Having heard of the escape of prisoners from Columbia, he was on the watch, and he caught us and six others the same night. We were all taken into a large house, and into a square room with a large open fire. We were fed, and made very comfortable through the night, although sleeping on the floor. The next morning a big mule team was har- nessed, and it was prepared to take eleven Yankee offi- cers back ten miles to Lexington, the county seat, and then turn them over to the authorities. Our guard con- sisted of the sergeant on horseback with revolver, a young man about twenty-five, and an old man about sixty, each 392 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. of the two latter having a gun. A small boy drove the mules. Two Pennsylvania officers and myself decided that that guard should not be sufficient to take eleven Yankees ten miles to prison, and, after going about five miles, at a favorable time we jumped into the woods and ran. After running some ways, I stopped to take breath ‘and listen, but could neither see nor hear anything of the men who were with me. I have never seen them since, but learned, through a letter from one of them while we were waiting for the grand review in 1865, that they were both recaptured the same day. “‘T did not attempt to travel that day or the following night, but the next day I hunted for a negro, and hav- ing found one, received from him the first ‘‘ square meal” for four months. I had concluded to stop with him two or three days for the repair of my shoes, now nearly gone, and had just lain down in a barn, when he called me saying there were more Yankees outside who wished to see me. I went out, and found the following who had escaped from Camp Sorghum, November 3: Lieutenant Charles G. Davis, First Massachusetts Cavalry ; Captain Charles S. Kendall, First Massachusetts Infantry ; Cap- tain V. K. Hart, Nineteenth United States Infantry; Lieutenant William Nelson, Thirteenth United States Infantry ; and Lieutenant Thomas B. Dewees, Second United States Cavalry. I joined this party, and with them entered Knoxville, December 5, just one year from the day Longstreet raised the siege of the Ninth Corps.’ ‘¢ We travelled nights, and depended altogether upon the negroes till we reached the western part of North Carolina, near the Tennessee borders. There we made ourselves known to a Henry B. Grant, who proved to be a loyal man. He had been twice conscripted into the rebel army, and had deserted each time. He did not dare to sleep in his own house, but for eleven months he REMINISCENCES. 393 had taken his blankets and slept in the woods. He and his wife were very hospitable, feeding us bountifully, and giving us blankets for a night’s lodging in the bushes. In another part of the same house lived his elderly sister, whose young son (about sixteen) was in that rebel army that guarded a road which we wished to take to Knox- ville. While we were there, he came home on leave. We in dismay finally decided to tell him the truth, and keep a sharp watch of him. The next day he piloted us across the mountains, and at night put us on a road beyond his company, even pointing out to us the outer sentry, and then returned to his command. Grant directed us to another Union man, whom we woke at midnight. He fed us, and the next day went ten miles with us across the mountains and put us‘on a path lead- ing into Cordis Cove, a Union settlement in East Ten- nessee. From there we were guided to Tuckaluchee Cove, and thence to Knoxville, which we reached as before stated. From there I proceeded by Cumberland Gap into Kentucky, and thence to Washington, where I received a leave of absence, which I spent at home in New Hampshire. I returned to the regiment at Peters- burg, March 6, 1865. REMINISCENCES. (FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.) Among the many humorous scenes that transpired in our army life, one quite laughable occurred while the Eleventh was stationed at Newport News, in March, 1863. Colonel Harriman had allowed his name to be used as a candidate for governor of New Hampshire, for the 394 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. purpose of securing the votes of those in the Republican party who would not vote for the regular candidate, J. A. Gilmore. Company C, taking in: the situation, and, like every other company in the regiment, having one or more men whom all the rest could utilize for the pur- pose of fun, concluded to have a meeting to indorse the colonel’s nomination. Moses Richardson was notified of the nomination, that a meeting was to be held, and that he was expected to make the speech. He readily gave his consent, being always ready for duty. Ser- geant Emerson instructed him what to say, and how it must be said, and Moses tried hard to learn his lesson. When the appointed time came, a beef barrel with one head was furnished as a platform for Moses, and placed directly in front of Colonel Harriman’s head- quarters. The remaining head had been loosened, a hole made, and a plug inserted. The Colonel, hearing the hum of voices, came out to see what was going on. Just then Moses mounted the barrel, and made his bow to the audience, as he had been instructed to do. He then said,—‘‘ Fellow-citizens: I hear that Colonel Har- riman is a candidate for governor of New Hampshire. Colonel Harriman is a good man, and I would as soon see him governor as ”? Just then some mischievous fellow pulled the plug, and Moses disappeared, as if by magic, inside the barrel. The colonel laughed, and passed into his tent ; the boys shouted, and the crowd disappeared. Moses crawled out of the barrel with the remark that he could n’t under- stand why that head, which had sustained the weight of two hundred pounds of beef, would n’t hold him. During the siege of Petersburg and while Captain Tilton was in command of the regiment, an incident oc- curred, which shows the coolness of Captain Locke. REMINISCENCES. 395 One day, in the discharge of his duty, Captain Tilton visited the front line of the works, then in command of Captain Locke. As the two men stood behind the in- trenchments, engaged in conversation, the dull thud of a bullet, sent by some rebel sharpshooter, was heard near them. Each thought the other wounded, but.finding that neither was hit, took off their hats. It was then found that a bullet had passed through Captain Locke’s hat, just above the forehead. Looking at it in a quiet man- ner, Captain Locke said, in his own inimitable way, “By godfrey, if I had had on a low hat, they would have got me sure, wouldn’t they.” Comrade Timothy B. Eastman, of Company D, gives the following reminiscences : On the 7th of July, 1863, three days after the sur- render of Vicksburg, the main army crossed the Big Black on a pontoon bridge, but the wagon train that I was with made a detour and crossed the river at Mes- senger’s. About ten p. m., as the train was passing through a dense piece of woods and timber on its way to Messenger’s, a.severe thunder-storm broke upon us, and raged with great severity for an hour. The wind blew, the rain came in torrents, the thunder rolled, the light- ning flashed,—in fact, it seemed as if all the elements of heaven and earth had combined to make that one storm the severest ever witnessed by man. Darkness reigned supreme, and we were obliged: to come to a halt until morning. Quartermaster Hawes, of the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts, was in charge of the train. He did not make his appearance after the storm, and, a search being made for him, his lifeless body was found in the rear of an army wagon. He had been killed by a falling tree, that had demolished the wagon in which he had sought shelter. The next morning he was given as good a 396 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. burial, as the circumstances permitted, after which we resumed our march. On the morning of the 12th of July, 1863, the Eleventh was doing skirmish duty in front of Jackson. The cooks camped some distance in the rear, and were ordered to issue rations to their several companies. Company D’s cook arrived in due time, and commenced issuing rations on the right of the company, passing down towards the left. Sergeant George E. Davis was found seated upon the ground, back to the enemy. I took a seat beside him, and passed him a canteen of water. As he raised it to his lips, he received a severe rifle-shot wound in the back from a rebel sharpshooter. Four men were de- tailed to carry him to the hospital in the rear. In doing so, we were for a distance of one hundred and fifty yards directly in range of the enemy’s fire. Bullets flew thick and fast about us, but not a man received a scratch. Late ‘in the autumn of 1864, in front of Petersburg, a very singular ‘accident occurred by which a Union soldier lost his life. Soon after the battle of Poplar Grove church, a cook picked up a rebel gun-barrel and used it as a crane to hang kettles upon for cooking pur- poses. One Sabbath morning, having a hotter fire than usual, the contents of the barrel were discharged, killing a soldier who sat directly in range, engaged in cleaning his musket for Sunday inspection. During some portions of the winter of 1864-65, in fine weather, the officers and men of the Eleventh often indulged in a friendly game of ball together. As they were playing one day, just before the final move, some general officers passed them on horse-back, and one of them was overheard to remark, ‘* That’s a good regi- REMINISCENCES. ; 397 ment, for the men and officers play ball together.” Whoever that officer was, he never uttered truer words. The march of the Ninth Corps up the country into Morristown was a Curiosity to the people in that section. They had heard a good deal about the Yankee soldiers, but had never seen any before. As the Eleventh on its march halted near Mossy creek, a group of women eyed them intently; finally, one of them said to one of the boys of the Eleventh standing near, ‘‘I suppose them ’ar is right plumb Yanks.” When on the march near Winchester, Kentucky, a small school-house was passsed. The teacher, a young man, and his pupils were standing by the side of the road gazing at the soldiers, and one little fellow said to one of the boys of the Eleventh, ‘‘Whar did yer come from?” ‘*From New Hampshire,” was the answer. ‘‘Whar’s that?” <‘*Didn’t you ever study geography?” asked the soldier. ‘‘I reckon so,” said the boy; ‘‘I have studied a right smart lot of curious things.” One day while the regiment was resting at Jackson, Miss., a colored woman passed by, carrying a pail of water upon her head, that being the manner of carrying burdens there. The path upon which she was walking was lower than the ground upon which the regiment was lying, and J., who was always full of his fun, picked a green peach from a tree near him, and threw it at the woman. He intended to have it fall into the pail of water and spatter her, but, instead, it hit aunty on the side of her head. She at once stopped, set her pail of water down on the ground, rolled out her eyes like door- knobs, and exclaimed, ‘‘God A’mighty! who frow’d dat?” 398 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. The four guns of Benjamin’s Battery, for so long a time attached to the Ninth Corps, were all marked on the breech, and their names were Minnie, Nannie, Mag- gie, and Louise. On the march from Vicksburg to Jackson, many houses were burned. These were set on fire largely by Western troops, who had a greater spite, if that were possible, against the rebels than the Eastern troops had. During a halt a fine residence was set on fire. The old lady of the house desired very much to save a large and valuable mirror in one of the chambers, and as there was no male member of the family about the house, all being in the rebel army, a soldier of an Iowa regiment offered to bring it down. Going up stairs he shouldered the great mirror, and started down the stairs. When near the bottom he saw some chickens run past the door, chased by several members of his company. This so excited him that he forgot all about his valuable load, and he said to his companions, ‘‘Give ’em h—l, boys. I’m with ye;” and he dropped the mirror, smashing it into a thousand pieces. ‘‘Oh, Lordy, Lordy ! my mirror! my mirror that I’ve had all these years, all smashed to _ pieces!” and the old lady was led away to a tree, under which she sat and saw her house burn. Comrade Eaton says that as the brigade was marching along the Crab Orchard pike one lovely morning, a good many ladies were to be seen at the farm-houses, and at one place several had ranged themselves by the roadside. A comrade of the Eleventh Regiment, who was of small stature, a dry joker, and a genuine wag, left the ranks, walked straight up to the ladies, and with a very sober face, addressed them thus: ‘Say, ladies, I’m very warm and sweaty this morning. Can't REMINISCENCES. 399 some on ye give me an apron, a handkerchief, a feather, or something that I can wipe my face with?” The ladies eyed him with a peculiar look, and then looked at each other, not knowing what to do or say. They: sur- mised that he did not mean what he said, or else they took him for an insane man. At all events they made him no answer. As soon as he joined the ranks his cap- tain asked him what they said. ‘‘Oh, they said they hadn’t any apron, handkerchief, or feather, but that they were all for the Union to a man.” George W. Currier, of Enfield, enlisted in the Sixth New Hampshire Volunteers, in 1861, when but little more than sixteen years of age. His brother, Lewis D., then fifteen years of age, wished very much to enlist, but his father would not let him, deeming him too young. One year later, when the Eleventh Regiment was recruited, Lewis informed his father that he wanted to join it, but his father again objected. But this time Lewis said, ‘*You let George go, and I can lick him ”—and Lewis went. At Lancaster, Ky., among the camp-peddlers was an old lady who came daily with her cakes, pies, and canned peaches. She did her trading largely with the band boys, to whom she took a great fancy. Like so many others, she preferred coffee for her articles to money. The old lady charged good prices for her wares, but as the prices increased the wares grew poorer. So the band boys made up their minds they would get even with her, and for a number of days they steeped their coffee, without grinding it, and then dried it in the sun. One of the members of the band was delegated to trade this coffee with the old lady, and the next time she made her appearance, he did so in this way: After she had arranged her articles for sale, P. stepped up and said, 400 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. ‘Well, auntie, what have you got to sell this morning?” She replied by stating what she had, and how very nice everything was. ‘* Well,” said P., “ At night we camped near the Chickahominy river. ‘¢r4.

The following extracts are from the letters written by a member of the Eleventh, and give vivid pen-pictures of a soldier’s life : Hopss’s PLANTATION, VA., June 15, 1864. A little after dark Sunday night, 12th inst., we left our works where we had been one week, and started upon another «flank movement.” We marched all night, and about sunrise halted for breakfast, after which we resumed our march—making slow progress, as the roads were full of troops—and bivouacked that night about 1 o’clock, tired and sleepy enough. We started early the next morning, and at about 9 o’clock crossed the Chickahominy at Jones’s bridge, where the river was about two rods wide. Halted there until noon, when the march was resumed, and at 4 o’clock halted upon the plantation adjoining the John Tyler estate. Remained there until sundown; then moved two miles in advance, and camped for the night. We are close by Charles City, which consists of an old court-house, a blacksmith-shop, and two old houses.. It is about twenty-five miles from Richmond. We are going somewhere,—of course we don’t know where, but it looks like Peters- burg, south of Richmond. The whole army is in motion. We are cutting and making roads through the forests, and building bridges. We are encamped ona fine plantation in the midst of a field of wheat of at least twenty-five Acres in extent. The grain was nearly ready for the cradle. Our boys pitched their tents, used the straw for beds, and our horses, mules, and cattle are now grazing in the field. When we came the trees near by were loaded with ripe cherries, apples, and peaches, but there are none on them now. The Chickahominy swamp is covered with a magnificent growth of timber. 582 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. NEAR PETERSBURG, VA., July 9, 1864. We hear that the rebels are making their annual raid up North, but if they expect by any such movement to make Grant loosen his death- grip here they will be sorely mistaken. Grant is not to be jostled from his plans here. He has got Lee by the throat, and will choke him,—although a good many more of us may get choked before the experiment reaches its culmination; but that matters not if we only succeed and our country be saved. The benefits of the Sanitary Commission are being: felt here in the field: never before have their operations extended much beyond the hospitals, but row that. they have more means to do with, the boys in the field are reaping enjoyment from the efforts of the kind-hearted ladies of the North. They are getting onions, tomatoes, canned meats, and some clothing. Everything is just what they need to prevent their being sick. The weather is warm and is operating badly; our hospitals are filled with sick and wounded,—no more, however, than should be expected, considering the terrible scenes they have passed through and their fearful exposures. ‘ i July 12, 1864. This is a fine morning: hardly a ripple of wind is to be felt, and the sun is climbing the heavens red and fiery. The day promises to be a ‘«scorcher.” Our hearts were made glad at dark last night. The heavens were overcast, and a heavy shower threatened to come upon us; it lightened vividly and thundered heavily. Everything looked promis- ing, but the shower passed around, and we had no rain. Just as the shower came up, there was a fine display of fireworks upon our lines. The rebels ran a car down the railroad as near as they could, and on it were three mortars. With these they opened fire upon us, but they were quickly responded to by as many from our side, and for a short time the heavens were ablaze with the mortar shells, which went hissing through the air with their long trails of fire. It looks very nice to see the shells going from you, but is not quite as pleasant to see them coming foward you. We heard the bells ringing over in the city for some time this morning, evidently for a fire. The boys are getting bountiful supplies nowadays. Rev. Mr. Patterson, who has been with the army some months, sent as a contribution from New Hampshire people, to the Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers, nearly one barrel of cider to each regiment, plenty of soft crackers, ginger cakes, farina, canned meats, and two large cheeses. EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS. 583 To-day the commissary is issuing vegetables in large quantities to the men, and they all feel as though they were not forgotten; they go into the trenches with a good will, and say, ‘* God bless the kind friends at home.” The sick and wounded are, of course, being kindly cared for. July 23, 1864. We have been having quite exciting times here for three days past. Wednesday evening, July 21, about 9 o'clock, we received orders to be ready for an attack from the rebels at any moment. Both Hill’s and Longstreet’s corps were reported as being massed in our front, and everything indicated an attack. The attack was expected to commence upon our brigade, which occupied the extreme front, but none was made. Yesterday p. m., General Griffin, as corps’ officer of the day, started along the line of the Ninth Corps to inspect its works and see that the men were alert. After he had passed the batteries and had reached the line held by the Second Brigade of the Second Division, some 300 feet from the rebel lines, the enemy opened, from some unknown cause, with a fearful shelling; also with volley after volley of musketry in rapid succession. But the boys stood firm, ready for an advance should any be made by the enemy. For half an hour the firing was terrific; several men were wounded severely; one shell exploded, taking off a man’s leg close to his body, and he lived but a few minutes. The same shell wounded two officers, one severely, the other slightly. Captain Buswell, of the Ninth New Hampshire, was shot in his right shoulder; the bullet passed down under the blade, and could not be extracted: I saw him in the hospital this morning. [He died August 8 following.] After a while the general succeeded in reaching the left of the line, and then returned to his quarters. We are losing a good many men. The Eleventh had one man killed yesterday, and has lost a number within the past week. August 3, 1864. I have not felt like writing, or doing anything else, since the terrible fight of Saturday last in the Crater. Everything seems so strange and so sad! The air itself seems full of sadness. My faith in the justness of our cause is as great as ever, but when I see a golden opportunity allowed to slip away unimproved, the brave boys slaughtered by whole- sale, and nothing accomplished, I feel sad. Large bodies of troops lay within musket-shot of us, but none were allowed to assist us. The attack upon us was terrific; the air was filled with seething, fiery mis- 584 , &LEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. siles of death. How a single man escaped, of our whole number engaged, is indeed marvellous. We buried the dead Monday morning, under a flag of truce. It was an appalling sight: the dead were all buried midway between the lines in long trenches. The officers of the opposing armies met each other, and were received by both sides as though nothing had happened. A good many old classmates in college met. One of our colonels met a rebel colonel and three other officers who were classmates of his. I saw Generals A. P. Hill, Mahone, and Bushrod Johnson. The truce was up at 9 a. m., and no sooner was the white flag over our lines lowered than the firing commenced again. Almost every one has some incident to relate in regard to the fight at the Crater, One of the most touching that I have heard happened to a boy about fifteen years of age, belonging to Company A, Thirty-first Maine, in our brigade. His father and three brothers are in the service in different regiments. His mother tried hard to get him released after his enlist- ment, and was nearly insane at the thought of her «+ darling little boy” leaving her, but her effort was unsuccessful. In the fight on Saturday a big double-fisted rebel took him prisoner. He first made him throw away his gun, and then take off his equipments, when the little fellow, beginning to realize his situation, burst out crying and said, «Oh, what will my poor dear mother say?” His captor immediately left him, and the boy ran back into our lines, and is now doing duty with his regiment. A boy of Company D, of the Eleventh Regiment, a recruit, was taken prisoner. He made believe he was wounded so severely that he could not be moved very well. He lay in the rebel lines until after dark, when he crept back into our works, and is now with the company safe and sound. In Company D there are one sergeant, one corporal, and three privates for duty; there are four men on guard at different points, and three sick, making twelve guns in the company present and accounted for; and nearly or quite every company in the regiment is in the same condition. ARMY TRAINS. e No one unacquainted with army life can have any ade- quate idea of the immense number of baggage-wagons required for the transportation of the necessary require- ARMY TRAINS. 585 ments of a great army. There were in round numbers two thousand regiments in the service during the war. Each one of these regiments required from three to nine, or more, wagons, an average of six to each regiment, or at least twelve thousand. This number was at times largely increased, and at times decreased; but all were kept near at hand to be used when emergency required. Add to these the artillery, ammunition, and ambulance trains, and the number seems almost bewildering. Yet everything was so simplified that all worked together smoothly. ‘ Each corps, division, brigade, and regimental head- quarters had its chief of transportation, and these were ‘¢wheels working within wheels.” Ambulance trains were a corps by themselves. When General Grant cut loose from his base of supplies below the Wilderness, and said good-bye to the North, it was estimated that his wagon train alone would reach a distance of sixty miles, allowing eighty six-horse (or mule) wagons to the mile. Beside these were his artil- lery, ammunition, and ambulance trains, and thousands of cattle for the feed of the army, and all had to be guarded by thousands of soldiers. The movement was one well calculated to fill (as it did) the mind of the entire world with amazement at the wonderful audacity displayed by Grant in closing all communications with the North from his rear. No man but General Grant could have done it. It was all worked out in his busy brain before the order was given, and he foresaw the consummation of his plans, as he believed, and his hopes and his expectations were all fully realized. So thoroughly had he mastered his plan, that the army, after fighting almost daily for weeks, appeared at the James river with its trains and supplies intact, and those who witnessed these immense caravans on the spacious , 586 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. grounds about the White House landing will never forget the inspiriting scene. The world had never witnessed an army movement such as was this: an immense army and its attendant trains, passing through an enemy’s country with such daring bravery, was indeed a magnificent spectacle. General Grant believed in his men, and his men believed in him; and during the entire campaign there was no cooler and apparently more unconcerned man in the entire army than was General Grant. CHAPTER XX. THE SANITARY COMMISSION—THE MINE BEFORE PETERSBURG—RES- OLUTIONS, ORDERS, LETTERS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS-——OFFICERS —Rovtine oF Duty—HieH PRIcEs IN DrxIE—MISCELLANEOUS. Fort Sumter was surrendered on Saturday, April 13, 1861, and the next day the people of the North began to make preparations for the impending war. Before the first week was past the whole country was engaged in active thoughts and deeds for its preservation: men were hurrying in all directions, either enlisting for the defence of their country, or doing something for those who had already enlisted and were on their way to Washington. Women crowded churches and chapels to make clothes for the soldiers; they besieged the governors and other officials of the loyal states for something to do, by which they could show their zeal and patriotism in behalf of their country, whose life was now in peril. And this zeal and this patriotism burned with a glowing heat, increasing in intensity and in fervor until the war ended. Out of this great love for their country and their great regard for the brave men who had gone forward, some- thing definite, wherein all could do their share if so dis- posed, was set in motion ; and inthe early days of the war Drs. Bellows, Van Buren, Agnew; Hasson, and Harris, representing certain societies in New York, went to Washington, and laid their plan before the government officials, and upon this plan was founded the Sanitary Commission. Their representations found unwilling ears, and their entreaties fell upon stony hearts. From President 588 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE, Lincoln down to the lowest menial in office their whole plan was thought to be impracticable; but after much entreaty these gentlemen were appointed a ‘‘ Commission of Inquiry and Advice in Respect to the Sanitary Interests of the United States forces,” limiting their inquiries to the volunteer forces only, as the regular army was some- thing too holy for them to interfere with. | : The commission commenced its labors in a small way at first; but almost before it-was aware of its transcendent importance, thousands upon thousands of branch soci- eties, scattered all over the land, began to pour in their contributions with a liberality never even dreamed of. These societies, working at first for the regiments in which they were more particularly interested, received many letters from the boys at the front, conveying many hearty thanks; and, in return, many words of cheer and comfort went back to the soldiers. During the war this commission issued, and scattered throughout the armies, seventeen military, medical, and surgical essays, pre- pared expressly for the purpose by eminent surgeons and others. When the war began, but few officers knew really what their duty was toward the men under their command, or the men their duty toward the officers; still, every man was supposed to be able to take care of himself, and if any fell by the way they were to be left to make the best of it. Notwithstanding the many obstacles thrown in their way by government officials, who in too many instances looked upon the volunteer soldiers as so many dogs, the loyal people of the North became fairly aroused, and the com- mission soon found its way into the hospitals filled with the sick, wounded, and dying soldiers ; and here they worked with a system and a will that were indeed wonderful. Immediately after the first battle of Bull Run, six perma- nent inspectors were appointed by the commission to THE SANITARY COMMISSION. 589 look after the hospitals; but this was not enough, and, through the efforts of the commission, an act to reorgan- ize the medical department of the army passed congress April 18, 1862. This act provided for eight medical inspectors; and then the better health of the army was assured, as they worked in harmony with the commis- sion. Something new for the benefit of the soldier was continually being devised; as, for instance, there was ‘inspection of camp and hospitals,” ‘* hospital transport service,” ‘‘ general relief,” <‘‘battle-field relief,” and many others. Throughout thousands of branches there were gener- ally two or three men and women, at least, who were kept informed of the doings of the commission and its varied results. Comrades will remember that the first thing advised for them were the Havelock and the lint, both of but little service in the field. And then what swarms of glass jars in which were packed sweet jellies, recommended as a specific for all diseases. These things were changed, however, as the commission increased its work and made it their aim to provide the soldiers with such things as the government did not include in its rations. Frederic Law Olmstead was the first secretary, and to his executive ability was largely due the wonderful work of the commission. The work done in its various departments was immense. The mere distribution of its supplies to the soldiers in the field was but a drop in the bucket, compared with what it really did. When a battle was in progress, close by in the rear were to be found its agents dispensing hot soups and hot coffee to the wearied men; the hospitals were filled with its agents, or as many as could well be used, and how tenderly they cared for the dead, the dying, and the wounded,—spong- ing the wounds, administering some little delicacy to 590 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. soothe the pain, listening to the last words of the dying boy as he asked that he be remembered at home, writing letters for the unfortunate to the loved ones at home, and in so many ways alleviating the trouble and suffer- ing all about them. The hospital boat, steamer, and car were devised by them in order to carry the wounded men in the best and easiest manner possible, and upon them all were found nurses and attendants ready for any duty required of them. And with what a munificent hand the North poured out its supplies! When Vicksburg fell, the city of Pittsburgh sent forward five hundred barrels of pota- toes, and other Western cities furnished car-load after car-load of provisions, ice, and other necessaries for the occasion. And how vividly comrades will remember those huge steamers on the Mississippi, after Vicksburg had sur- rendered! Open on both sides, with space unlimited as it were, with their long rows of beds ready for the sick and wounded,—great floating hospitals puffing and work- ing their way up the river to a more congenial clime; stopping, now here and now there, to lay to his final rest some sick or wounded soldier who had been hoping, though against hope, that he should reach his loved home before he died, but who had succumbed to death’s de- mand. During the war more than two hundred and twenty- five thousand sick and wounded soldiers were transported to the hospitals in the rear and to their homes, and the Special Relief of the commission provided more than four million five hundred thousand meals for sick and hungry soldiers. They also provided one million lodgings for soldiers, and assisted them in collecting from the govern- ment several millions of dollars as their wages. This was only one of the departments of the commission. THE MINE BEFORE PETERSBURG. 591 Dr. Bellows, of New York, is considered the father and founder of the Sanitary Commission. He had great executive ability, and a skill for organization which no other person possessed. Through his influence and that of Rev. Thomas Starr King, then a resident of California, that state contributed in money nearly one half million dollars for the commission. Beside this was all that was contributed by the different branches through- out the North, and the two million seven hundred and thirty-six thousand dollars raised by fairs in the great cities of the North. At a meeting held in Washington near the close of the war, in aid of the Sanitary Commission, President Lincoln said,—‘‘I am not accustomed to use the language of eulogy, I have never studied the art of paying com- pliments to women,—but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women was applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during the war. God bless the women of America!” . THE MINE BEFORE PETERSBURG. There were about as many opinions among the officers of the army as to what should have been done to insure success, and as to what was left undone, as there were officers in number. It isin evidence that General Meade was not in sympathy with the Mine affair, and that every obstacle was thrown in Colonel Pleasants’s way by the officials at Meade’s head-quarters. But little notice had been taken by Meade thus far in the campaign of Gene- ral Burnside, or of his gallant Ninth Corps, who had done such brilliant fighting and performed such Herculean tasks from the crossing of the Rapidan on; and his con- tempt for both Burnside and his corps was still further 592 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. shown in the fact that the Ninth Corps filled a space in front of three miles, from the Prince George court-house road to the Hare house on the left, where it connected with the Fifth Corps,—a portion of the troops having their intrenched line within one hundred yards of the enemy’s line, where there was continual firing, and where the corps lost from thirty to sixty men daily for six weeks before the explosion of the mine. Of this constant exposure, General Humphrey, chief of General Meade’s staff, in ‘‘The Virginia Campaign of ’64 and ’65,” says this: ‘¢ The incessant movements day and night for so long a period, the constant, close contact with the enemy during all that time, the almost daily assaults upon intrenchments having entanglements in front and defended by artillery and musketry in front and flank, exhausted both officers and men. The larger part of the officers who literally led their commands were killed or wounded, and alarge num- ber of those that filled the ranks at the beginning of the campaign were absent. It is unreasonable to suppose that the troops were not, for a time, so exhausted as to need rest, and equally unreasonable to suppose that their opponents were not in a similar condition, though to a less degree, since they had not marched so much at night, nor attacked intrenchments.” This referred particularly to the troops that had done so much marching and fighting during the campaign thus far. On the 26th of July, General Meade called upon Gen- eral Burnside in connection with the firing of the mine, and Burnside reported his plan of assault, by which two brigades of General Ferrero’s Colored Division—the Fourth of the Ninth Corps—were to lead in close column of attack. These brigades were to pass through the openings to the right and left of the mine, after it had exploded, while the other divisions of the corps were to THE MINE BEFORE PETERSBURG. 593 advance directly to the crest in rear of the mine. Burn- side’s reason for selecting the colored troops to lead was, that they had not been exposed to the fire of the enemy as the white troops had been for six weeks, and, further, that they had been drilled with a special view to making this assault. Meade objected, and by lot the First Divi- sion, General Ledlie commanding, was selected. The men of this division were equally brave with their com- rades in the Second and Third divisions, but the general commanding had a poor reputation as a fighting officer. July 29, 1864, Meade issued this order of attack: The following instructions are issued for the guidance of all con- cerned : 1. As soon as dark, Major-General Burnside, commanding Ninth Corps. will withdraw his two brigades under General White, occupying the intrenchments between the plank and Norfolk roads, and bring them to his front. Care will be taken not to interfere with the troops of the Eighteenth Corps, moving into their position in rear of the Ninth Corps. General Burnside will form his troops for assaulting the enemy's works at daylight of the 30th, prepare his parapets and abatis for the passage of the columns, and have the pioneers equipped for work in opening passages for artillery, destroying enemy's abatis, etc., and the intrenching tools distributed for effecting lodgment, etc. 2. Major-General Warren, commanding Fifth Corps, will reduce the number of his troops holding the intrenchments of his front to the minimum, and concentrate all his available force on his right, and hold them prepared to support the assault of Major-General Burnside. The preparations in respect to pioneers, intrenching tools, etc., enjoined: upon the Ninth Corps, will also be made by the Fifth Corps. 3. As soon as it is dark, Major-General Ord, commanding Eigh- teenth Corps, will relieve his troops in the trenches by General Mott's Division of the Second Corps and form his corps in rear of the Ninth Corps, and be prepared to support the assault of Major-General Burn- side. 4. Every preparation will be made for moving forward the field artil- lery of each corps. 5. At dark, Major-General Hancock, commanding Second Corps, will move from Deep Bottom to rear of intrenchments now held by the 38 594 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Eighteenth Corps, resume command of Mott's Division, and be pre- pared to follow up the assaulting and supporting column, or for such other operations as may be found necessary. 6. Major-General Sheridan, commanding Cavalry Corps, will pro- ceed at dark from the vicinity of Deep Bottom to Lee’s mill, and at daylight will move with his whole corps, including Wilson’s Division, against the enemy’s troops defending Petersburg on their right, by the roads leading from the southward and westward. 7. Major Doane, acting chief-engineer, will have the pontoon trains packed at convenient points in the rear prepared to move. He will see that supplies of sand-bags, gabions, fascines, etc., are in depot near the lines, ready for use. He will detail engineer officers for each corps. 8. At half-past three in the morning of the 30th inst., Major-Gen- eral Burnside will spring his mine, and his assaulting columns will im- mediately move rapidly upon the breach, seize the crest in the rear, and effect a lodgment there. He will be followed by Major-General Ord, who will support him on the right, directing his movement to the crest indicated, and by Major-General Warren, who will support him on the left. Upon the explosion of the mine, the artillery of all kinds in bat- tery will open upon those points of the enemy’s works where fire covers the ground over which our columns must move, care being taken to avoid impeding the progress of our troops. Special instructions respecting the direction of the fire will be issued through the chief of artillery. g. Corps commanders will report to the commanding general when their preparations are complete, and will advise him of every step in the progress of the operation, and of everything important that occurs. 1o. Promptitude, rapidity of execution, and cordial codperation are essential to success, and the commanding-general is confident that this indication of his expectations will insure the hearty efforts of the com- manders and troops. 11. Head-quarters during the operation will be at the head-quarters of the Ninth Corps. : By command of Major-General Meade. S. WILLIAMS, Assistant-Adjutant-General. RESOLUTIONS. 595 RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were adopted by the men of the Eleventh Regiment at the resignation of Colonel Harriman in Mississippi : Camp ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE VOLUNTEERS, MILLDALE, Miss., June 27, 1863. As we listened, at the distant booming of our cannon at Vicksburg, to the farewell address of our beloved colonel, our only response was the silent sorrow or the tear moistening eyes that have rarely wept since the home partings of last autumn; but our hearts prompt us to a more audible response, which shall be heard in our distant Mountain State, among our friends and his, as a tribute to his worth and of our apprecia- tion of it. Therefore we, the enlisted men of the regiment, unani- mously adopt the following resolutions : Resolved, That at no period of its existence has it appeared more essential that our national government should know its friends than at the present; that the Eleventh Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers, with its loyalty unquestioned and its patriotism unabated, is still ready to do battle manfully and valiantly for the prosperity of that govern- ment under which the nation has in prosperity reached that point where she has no competitor, and which cherishes a general diffusion of knowledge, and encourages and protects all classes of its loyal citizens. Resolved, That our hearts have been filled with grief at the resigna- tion and departure of our beloved colonel. Resolved, That his course throughout commands our respect and admiration and devoted love. His affability and courtesy to every man, tempered with dignity which first and ever endeared him to us as his years of usefulness and his great worth made us honor him and confide in his leadership ; his sacrifice, labors, and magnetic influence in raising and organizing the regiment; his cheerful sharing with us the fatigues, hard fare, and exposure of camp and weary march and tedious journey, animating our drooping spirits by words of encouragement; his bravery and serenity amid the trying scenes of our first battle at Fredericksburg ; his sympathizing tear and soothing caress for our dying and wounded comrades; his constant regard for our welfare and comfort; his perfect command over our willing hearts; his virtues marked and exemplary; his patriotic hopefulness, which amidst clouds and gloom has descried 596 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. as from a mountain top the coming dawn, and inspiring us with his prophecy. All this has made us love and honor him. Resolved, That Colonel Harriman is loyal, patriotic, and uncompro- misingly opposed to all external and internal foes of the government, and eminently qualified by experience to lead its supporters in arms to successful results, and to such men, and such alone, should be entrusted the command of our troops. Resolved, That in the various phases of our soldier life we shall miss his commanding form, his cheering presence, his kindly word, his genial smile, and his cordial salutation for every man. Resolved, That it has been the wish of our hearts that he who raised and organized us and had been our leader, and on whom we had learned to look as the keystone of the regiment, might have led us back, the remnant of ‘the ,band he loved, and who loved him, to our first camp at Concord, and that then and there we might have our part- ing parade. Resolved, That we ardently hope that everywhere and always, whether in public usefulness and honor, or private repose, he will command that universal honor, admiration, and love which our hearts accord to him. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the colonel, and that they be published in the Manchester Afzrvor, and in such other New Hampshire papers as choose to insert them.

The number of companies must depend upon the number of men in the regiment. Mounted officers only will salute in passing the reviewing officers. The cadence step will be taken from the capitol until after passing Seven- teenth Street. Arms will be carried at the right shoulder shift from the capitol to the State Department. IV. Division commanders are authorized to take such small articles of baggage as are absolutely necessary for the comfort of the officers and men for the: bivouac, but will provide transportation to move the same before daylight on the morning of the 23d inst., so as not to interfere with, or in any’ way impede, the movement of the troops of the army. Forage sufficient for the use of officers’ and artillery horses will be taken to feed at night and in the morning. V. Neither officers nor men will be permitted to leave the bivouac except for the most urgent reasons, and then only upon obtaining proper authority from their respective brigade commanders.

Permit me, in behalf of the division I com- mand, to tender you our thanks for your uniform kindness to us, and for the interest you have manifested in our welfare during our tempo-' rary assignment to duty with your corps. I am happy to assure you that the opportunity afforded us to witness the conduct of the Eastern troops of your command has convinced us that they possess valor and discipline which we may well emulate.

CIRCULAR ORDERS. é The general commanding takes this opportunity to express to the officers and men of this brigade the high appreciation of their gallantry and noble conduct as soldiers, whether displayed at a mere review, on the field of battle, or amidst the harassing fatigue of the march. Never did troops display higher qualities as soldiers than have those of this command since crossing the Rapidan on the 5th of May last, and never did patriots win a nobler record than those who have endured the hardships and braved the perils of this memorable campaign. Every soldier and every officer has a right to feel—as your general does—a just pride in his regiment and in his brigade. By command of Bric. GEN’L GRIFFIN. Ira G. WILKINS, Lieut. and A. A. A.

GENERAL ORDERS, t No. 72. The commanding general desires particularly to congratulate the officers and soldiers composing the garrison of Fort Sanders on their gallant conduct during the assault on the morning of the 29th of No- vember. To Benjamin’s Battery, with such portions of Buckley’s and Roemer's as were with them in the fort, the Seventy-ninth Regiment N. Y. Vols., the Second Regiment Mich. Vols., and a detachment of the Twenty-ninth Mass. Vols., is due the credit of repulsing a picked column of the enemy’s, killing, wounding, and taking prisoners there- from treble their own number, besides capturing three stands of colors. 602 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. To all the officers and soldiers of the corps too much praise cannot be awarded for the heroism, patience, and valor displayed by them on all occasions for the last three weeks. Whenever you have met the enemy, in battle or in skirmish, you have shown your superiority. The enemy can no longer afford to remain inactive. Already large forces are press- ing forward to our relief from different points. Should he hazard an assault on our lines before retreating, he will find that his reception at Fort Sanders was a foretaste of what he will receive at every point of our works. By command of Brigadier-General Potter. NICHOLAS BOWEN, A, A. Gen'l. COMMANDING OFFICER 11TH N. H. VOts. The following is General Grant’s congratulatory order : HEAD-QUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI, IN THE FIELD, CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Dec. 10, 1863. GENERAL ORDERS, { No. 9. The general commanding takes this opportunity of returning his sincere thanks and congratulations to the brave armies of the Cumber- land, the Ohio, the Tennessee, and their comrades from the Potomac, for the recent splendid and decisive successes achieved over the enemy. In a short time you have recovered from him the control of the Tennes- see river from Bridgeport to Knoxville; you dislodged him from his great stronghold upon Lookout Mountain; drove him from Chattanooga valley; wrested from his determined grasp the possession of Missionary Ridge; repelled with heavy loss to him his repeated assaults upon Knoxville, forcing him to raise the siege there; driving him at all points, utterly routed and discomfited, beyond the limits of the state. By your noble heroism and determined courage you have most effectu- ally defeated the plans of the enemy for regaining possession of the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. You have secured positions from which no rebellious power can drive or dislodge you. For all this the general commanding thanks you collectively and individually. The.loyal people of the United States thank and bless you. Their hopes and prayers for your success against this unholy Rebellion are with you daily. Their faith in you will not be in vain. Their hopes will not be blasted. Their prayers to almighty God will be answered. You will go to other fields of strife, and with invincible OFFICERS. 603 bravery and unflinching loyalty to justice and right, which have char- acterized you in the past, you will prove that no enemy can withstand you, and that no defences, however formidable, can check your onward march.

The following will be the routine of duty for the regiments of this brigade. The calls will be sounded from these head-quarters, as here- tofore : Reveille, 5 a. m.; breakfast, 6 a. m.; surgeon’s call, 7 a. m.; first call for guard mount, 7:30 a.m.; guard mounting, 8 a. m.; drill call, 9 a. m.; recalls from drill, 10:30 a. m.; dinner, 12 m.; drill call (battalion), 1:30 p. m.; recall from drill, 4 p. m.; first call for dress parade, 5:45 p. m.; dress parade and retreat, 6 p. m.; tattoo, 8 p. m.; taps, 8:30 p. m. By command of Bric. GEN’L GRIFFIN. IRA G. WILKINS, Lieut. and A. A. A. G. At reveille, each company will be formed in line and the roll called, immediately after which the camps and quarters will be thoroughly policed and put in order. At each call for drill, every officer and every man, not otherwise on duty, or excused by proper authority, will appear on parade. The regimental line will be formed, and the battalion marched to some suitable ground, where the drill will be conducted by the officers, as the case may require, in accordance with this order. On Saturdays and Sundays there will be no drill, but the usual inspection and preparation for the same will be strictly observed. Daily inspections will be made by company commanders at dress parade, as required by regulations. The above calls will be sounded by bugle from these head-quarters, and promptly repeated in each regiment. By command of ; Bric. GEN’L GRIFFIN. Ira G. WILKINS, Lieut. and A. A. A. G. HIGH PRICES IN DIXIE. 605 HIGH PRICES IN DIXIE. A copy of Parson Brownlow’s Knoxville Whig, which I obtained a the office of publication when the Eleventh Regiment was in Knoxville, Tenn., contains a very humorous report of the market at that time in Richmond. Brownlow said it was rather extravagant, perhaps, ‘‘ but is true of what it wzd/ be in twelve months,” and it proved to be nearly correct. It first appeared in the Pulaski (Tenn.) Chanticleer. EpIToR CHANTICLEER: Having just escaped from the kingdom of Jeff Davis, leaving Richmond about ten days since,—I furnish you with a very late and most reliable report of the markets when I left there, satisfied that it will be ahead of anything yet received from that quarter. At another time I may give you further intelligence from Dixie. Flour. One hundred pounds imported by Brown & Co. by carrier pigeon, still in first hands. Flour in small quantities is jobbing readily at 70 @ 8o0c. per pound. We notice four pounds to the major on private terms. Pork. The barrel of imported overland via Santa Fé, Texas, and Vicksburg before that city was taken, is nearly all in the hands of jobbers. Sales of three pounds of hog, round, at $2, half cash, the remainder in a note of four months, secured by a bushel of Confederate States of America bonds. A half-barrel will accrue in January, if the man’s hogs do n’t die in the mean time of starvation. This will over- stock the market, and make the street where the hog owner lives nearly as busy as ever. Monetary. A man who ran the blockade at Wilmington brought a sovereign and a Spanish quarter, most of which has been put in circu- lation here, and has produced unprecedented activity among our busi- ness men. Confidence has in a great measure been restored, and our merchants, who have been mowing the grass which grew in the princi- pal streets during the past summer, will most of them resume trade by peddling peanuts and lucifer matches during the ensuing month. Candy. Sale of six sticks to the purser of the floating battery of hydraulic rams, on private terms ; the market has a downward tendency. Candy is jobbing in sticks at 87c.@ $1.00. Potatoes. We notice the arrival of a peck from near the Dismal 606 ELEVENTH NEW HAMPSHIRE. Swamp. No sales. An old contraband who lives on the south side of James river is said to have a quarter of an acre. This keeps the market depressed. Dry Goods. Sales of ten cotton handkerchiefs by odd, Dupuy & Co., at $16 (@ $23; endorsed notes, six months. Cotton. The arrival of one bale from the coast per mule-back threw the city into confusion. Such an accumulation of the precious staple in Richmond, it was thought, would attract the cupidity of the Northern mercenaries, and precipitate an attack before the military defences were complete. The provost-marshal sent the cotton back at the expense of the owner. Tobacco. Unusual scarcity exists in Virginia leaf. Four plugs were sold on ’Change, on Saturday last, to parties who wished to send to Atlanta. A good sale has sprung up in old quids. They are collected by the blacks, put up neatly in tin-foil, and sold to new beginners. The price ranges according to the number of times chewed. The third chewing is made up into snuff. Whiskey. This necessary article is going down every day, though not in price. The figures now for a common sized drink are $14.75; to wet your tongue, $10; to smell the cork, $4.75; to look at the bottle, $1.17; and 61 cents to say ‘‘ whiskey” aloud. There was a charge made of 25 cents for passing a saloon, but that tax has been removed by the legislature. A pint of the fluid was bought bya wealthy planter early in September. It cost him a steamboat load of Confed- erate notes, four niggers, and a hogshead of sugar. This seems almost incredible. MISCELLANEOUS. John M. Smith, of Company B, was killed on the picket line, or near it, at Knoxville, Tenn., during the siege of that city. He was on picket the night that the Second Maryland pickets got frightened and ran back, taking a few of the pickets of the Eleventh with them. Comrade Smith made his way into the main works near the Richardson house, where the balance of the Eleventh men were lying in the trenches. Lieutenant Morrison, of Company B, sent him back with orders to report to the officers on the picket line. While he was away the MISCELLANEOUS. 607 line had been rearranged, and, as he was making his way to his former place, he came upon the flank of the new line. It was very dark, and he was taken for one of the enemy and shot, probably by one of our own men. He was found dead just in the rear of the line, robbed of his pocket-book and money, and Lieutenant Morrison found his rifle in the hands of one of the men in the Fifty-first Pennsylvania. His death created a good deal of discus- sion at the time, and some were of the opinion that he was murdered for what little money he had; but the greater probability is that he was accidentally shot by some one of the Union troops on the picket line, being taken for one of the enemy.. : James G. Whidden, Company F, when on guard one night near Falmouth, had this experience with General Sturgis, commanding Second Division, Ninth Corps: The general had been away from his quarters, and attempted to pass Comrade Whidden’s beat without the countersign which was demanded of him, but which he had not béen furnished with. Whidden said, ‘ Gat: cela 427 Discharged for disability Sa ty Be 295 Transferred to Sixth New ainpahive Nicluntsers ans 175 Transferred to other organizations . .... . 6 Died in rebel prisons . . iO tke.
