Twelfth Infantry. - The Twelfth left Hartford for Ship Island, Miss., in February, 1862. It bore the name of the "Charter Oak " Regiment, and was raised with the understanding that it was to join a secret expedition to be commanded by Gen. Butler. Col. Henry C. Deming, under whom the Twelfth was organized, was detailed for civil duties, and Lieut .- Col. Colburn of Derby was promoted to the colonelcy. In its first engagement, at Georgia Landing, La., Oct. 27, 1862, the regiment lost nineteen men. In the spring of 1863 the Twelfth did considerable hard fighting; and during the siege of Port Hudson, from the last of May to July 9, it suffered the loss of one hundred and eight officers and men. In the spring of 1864 most of the men re-enlisted ; and, after a veteran-furlough, the regiment returned to New Orleans. Not long after, it was transferred to Vir- ginia, and joined Sheridan's command in the Shenandoah Valley. In the battles at Winchester and Cedar Creek the regiment suffered ter- ribly. The reduction of its force was so great that it was re-organized as the Twelfth Battalion, and remained such until mustered out, Aug. 12, 1865.
Thirteenth Infantry. - This regiment was organized in the fall of 1861 at New Haven, where it remained in barracks during the fol- lowing winter. Henry W. Birge of Norwich, formerly major of the Fourth, was the first colonel. The regiment left Connecticut in March, 1862, and joined the expedition in command of Gen. Butler. After entering New Orleans in May, the Thirteenth was selected to do provost-duty. In the fall it was again in active service under Butler and Banks, and took part in the fight at Irish Bend, and the siege of Port Hudson. In the fall of 1864 the regiment was sent to join the forces of Sheridan in the Shenandoah. It was in the battles of Opequan, Winchester, and Fisher's Hill. Col. Birge was promoted

to be brigadier-general in 1863, and Capt. C. D. Blinn of New Milford was appointed colonel. In January, 1864, out of four hundred and six men present on duty, four hundred were ready to re-enlist. The regiment was reduced to five companies, and called "The Veteran Battalion, Thirteenth C. V .; " and Lieut .- Col. Homer B. Sprague was put in command. Mustered out, April 25, 1866.
Fourteenth Infantry. - This was the first Connecticut regiment raised in response to President Lincoln's call for "three hundred thousand " men in 1862. It left Hartford, Aug. 25, and within a few days took a honorable part in the battle of Antietam. From this time it was in nearly every prominent engagement of the Army of the Potomac until the surrender of Lee. At Gettysburg the Fourteenth made a brilliant charge, capturing five battle-flags and forty prisoners. At Morton's Ford, Feb. 6, 1864, it engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy, losing a hundred and fifteen men. In the series of battles in the Wilderness the regiment added fresh laurels to its record of noble service. It experienced two years and nine months of hard service, and was mustered out, May 31, 1865.
Three of the field-officers - Cols. Dwight Morris and T. G. Ellis, and Major J. B. Coit - were brevetted to be brigadier-generals.
Fifteenth Infantry .- This regiment was organized, and left for Washington under the command of Col. Dexter R. Wright, in August, 1862. Its first engagement was at Fredericksburg in December. Dur- ing the spring of the following year the regiment did faithful and arduous service at Suffolk, Va. In the summer it was with the expe- dition up the Peninsula under Gen. Dix, and in the fall and winter aided in building the fortifications at Norfolk. The regiment was transferred to Plymouth, N.C., in January, 1864, and, while there, successful raids were made. It was at Newbern during the yellow- fever epidemic of the summer of 1864, and fifty-eight members of the regiment died of the disease. At the battle of Kinston, N.C., the regiment lost heavily in killed and wounded, and the greater portion of the survivors were taken prisoners. Upon the occupation of Kin- ston by the Union forces, the Fifteenth was assigned to garrison-duty, and remained there until the close of the war. It was mustered out at New Haven, July 12, 1865.
Sixteenth Infantry. - The Sixteenth left Hartford in command of Col. Frank Beach, Aug. 29, 1862. From Washington it was hurried forward in time to take part in the battle of Antietam. It held an exposed position, and a hundred and eighty-four officers and men were killed or wounded. With sadly shattered ranks it crossed the Poto- mac in the pursuit of Lee, and was in the battle of Fredericksburg.

APPENDIX.
After Gen. Hooker took command of the army, the Sixteenth was sent to Newport News, Va., and soon after joined the forces at Suf- folk, assisting in its defence during the siege by Longstreet. At Eden- ton Road in April, 1863, and at Providence-Church Road in May, the regiment was in a sharp conflict with the enemy. In January, 1864, the Sixteenth was ordered to Newbern, N.C., and from there to Plymouth. At this place they were attacked by a force much larger than their own, and after a stubborn fight of three days were com- pelled to surrender. The greater part of the year they suffered con- finement at Andersonville and other places. Of the number captured at Plymouth, nearly one-half died in prison. Out of the thousand officers and men who left the State with this regiment in 1862, only a little band of a hundred and thirty men returned to be mustered out in June, 1865.
Seventeenth Infantry. - This regiment was recruited from Fair- field County. It left Bridgeport in command of Col. W. H. Noble, and was assigned to the Army of the Potomac. In May, 1863, the regiment was in the battle of Chancellorsville, where it lost one hun- dred and twenty men. Two months later the regiment suffered ter- ribly at Gettysburg. In August it was transferred to Folly Island, S.C., where it took part in the sieges of Sumter and Wagner. Early in 1864 the regiment was ordered to Florida, where it did active duty until the close of the war, and was mustered out, July 9, 1865.
Eighteenth Infantry. - The Eighteenth was made up principally of volunteers from New London and Windham Counties. It left Nor- wich in command of Col. W. G. Ely, and for several months did gar- rison-duty at Baltimore. In June, 1863, the regiment was in the battle of Winchester, Va .; and at the evacuation of that place, it was among the Union forces intercepted by a large body of the enemy, and were most of them captured. They were soon exchanged, and joined the little band of their comrades who had been more fortunate. In the spring of 1864 the Eighteenth was connected with Gen. Sigel's com- mand in the march up the Shenandoah Valley, and at the battle of New Market lost fifty-six men. The regiment bore an active part at the rout of the enemy at Piedmont, June 5. A few days later, after a skirmish at Lynchburg, the regiment only escaped capture by a forced and exhausting march. After a brief rest they were in the fights at Snicker's Ford, Winchester, and Berryville. The regiment served in West Virginia until it was mustered out at Harper's Ferry, June 27, 1865.
Nineteenth Infantry (Second Heavy Artillery). - This regi- ment was recruited in Litchfield County in the summer of 1862. It
367

left Litchfield in September for Washington, and was stationed at Alexandria. Two months later it was changed to a heavy-artillery organization; and during 1863 it was engaged in garrison-duty in forts on the south of the Potomac, near Washington. The regiment was brought to a high state of efficiency under the command of Col. Elisha S. Kellogg of Derby; and in May, 1864, it joined the Sixth Army Corps in Virginia. In the sad slaughter at Cold Harbor, June 1, Col. Kellogg was killed; and the total loss of the regiment was two hundred and eighty-five killed, wounded, and missing. Following the fortunes of the gallant Sixth Corps, the regiment was in the battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill, and Cedar Creek, Va. In February, 1865, it was in the engagement at Hatcher's Run, Va., and, in March and April, near Petersburg and at Sailor's Creek. The casualties which it suffered tell the story of its noble service. The muster-out took place at Washington, D.C., Aug. 18, 1865.
Twentieth Infantry. - The Twentieth was recruited in Hartford, New Haven, and Middlesex Counties, and left for Washington, Sept. 11, 1862. Col. Samuel Ross, its commanding officer, was given a bri- gade; and the regiment, during most of its service, was led by others. The Twentieth was a part of the Twelfth Army Corps; and its first engagement was at Chancellorsville, where it lost one hundred and ninety-seven officers and men. In the battle of Gettysburg the regi- ment escaped without severe loss, although it was in the fight for six hours. Late in September, 1863, the Twentieth joined the army of the Cumberland. It participated in several skirmishes, and in May, 1864, at the battles at Resaca, Ga., and Cassville, lost twenty-one men. It suffered heavy loss in the battle at Peach-Tree Creek, Ga., took part in the capture of Atlanta, and aided in its fortification. It was with Sherman in his march to the sea, entering Savannah on the 21st of December, 1864. On the march northward, the Twentieth was in the fight with Gen. Joe Johnston's troops at Silver Run, and also at Bentonville, N.C. It was mustered out, June 13, 1865.
Twenty-first Infantry. - This regiment was recruited from the eastern part of the State, and left Norwich for Washington, Sept. 11, 1862, in command of Col. Arthur H. Dutton. At the battle of Fred- ericksburg, in December, it won distinguished honor. During the spring of 1863 the regiment participated in the defence of Suffolk, Va., and did provost-duty for several months in Norfolk and Portsmouth. After service at Newport News, Morehead City, Newbern, and Wash- ington (N.C.), the regiment was recalled to Virginia. At the battle of Drury's Bluff it lost one hundred and seven men; and in a skirmish soon after, Col. Dutton received wounds from which he died. In the
368
APPENDIX.
battle of Cold Harbor, the regiment lost forty-seven men; and a few days later, Col. Burpee was mortally wounded while on duty as brigade officer. The Twenty-first was at Petersburg and Bermuda Hundred, and took part in the capture of Fort Harrison on the James River. The muster-out took place June 16, 1865.
NINE-MONTHS' MEN.
The Twenty-second Regiment, Geo. S. Burnham, colonel, was recruited from Hartford and Tolland Counties in the autumn of 1862. It was first stationed at Miner's Hill, Va., and then at Hunter's Chapel near Arlington Heights. In April, 1863, it embarked for Nor- folk and Suffolk, and took part in the siege at the latter place. From this time until its term of service expired, it was not on active duty in the field. It was mustered out, July 7, 1863.
The Twenty-third Regiment, Charles E. L. Holmes, colonel, left New Haven, Nov. 16, 1862, and after a brief tarry for instruction at Camp Buckingham, Long Island, sailed for New Orleans. In a sharp skirmish at La Fourche Crossing, June 21, 1863, the regiment lost several men. On the 23d of June, while most of the Union troops were absent at the siege of Port Hudson, the enemy made a sudden and successful attack on the Twenty-third, which was guarding a line of railroad near Brashear City, and took many prisoners. At New Haven, Aug. 31, 1863, it was mustered out of service.
Twenty-fourth Infantry .- The command of this regiment was given to Col. Samuel M. Mansfield of Middletown, a recent graduate of West Point, and a son of the lamented Gen. Mansfield. Late in the year 1862 the regiment embarked for Louisiana, and took part in the siege of Port Hudson. It won honorable distinction for the ser- vice it rendered at this time. The loss during the siege was sixty-six officers and men. After the fall of Port Hudson, the regiment served at Carrollton and other points, until mustered out, Sept. 30, 1863.
Twenty-fifth Infantry. - This regiment sailed for New Orleans, November, 1862, forming a part of Gen. Banks's division. On the 14th of April, 1863, it was in the battle at Irish Bend. Under the lead of Col. George P. Bissell, the regiment was in the fiercest part of the engagement, and suffered a loss of nearly one hundred killed and wounded. At the siege of Port Hudson, it met with severe losses, only one hundred and forty men being fit for duty by the last of June. The regiment was mustered out, Aug. 26, 1863.
Twenty-sixth Infantry .- Under Col. Thomas G. Kingsley, this regiment joined the division of Gen. Banks in Louisiana in the fall
369
CONNECTICUT REGIMENTS IN THE CIVIL WAR.
of 1862. It bore a conspicuous part in the assault of Port Hud- son, losing one hundred and seven officers and men. Of the two hundred and thirty-five men who took part in the second assault, fifty- nine were killed or wounded. This loss was as great as that sustained by the rest of the entire brigade. The regiment was mustered out, Aug. 17, 1863.
Twenty-seventh Infantry. - Organized in September, 1862, this regiment, in command of Col. R. S. Bostwick, left New Haven for Washington, Oct. 22. Six weeks later it was in the battle of Freder- icksburg, where it lost one hundred and eight men. In the battle of Chancellorsville (May, 1863), eighteen of the officers and two hundred and sixty-five men were taken prisoners. They were soon exchanged, and returned in time to take part in the battle of Gettysburg. In the same month, its term of service having expired, the regiment was mustered out.
Twenty-eighth Infantry. - This regiment, Samuel P. Ferris, col- onel, was the last raised to serve nine months. After brief duty at Jacksonville, Fla., it joined the army of Gen. Banks in Louisiana. It participated in the second assault on Port Hudson. Of its number, fifty-nine were killed, wounded, or missing. After the surrender, the regiment formed part of the garrison, until ordered home, and was mustered out, Aug. 28, 1863.
COLORED TROOPS.
Twenty-ninth Infantry. - This was the first colored regiment sent from Connecticut. In command of Col. William B. Wooster of Derby, it left New Haven, March 20, 1864, and, after reaching Annap- olis, was assigned to the Ninth Corps, and sailed for Beaufort, S.C. The regiment was transferred to Bermuda Hundred, Va., in August, and not long after was in the trenches at Petersburg, and also performed garrison-duty at different places. In October, in a sharp skirmish at Kell House, the regiment lost eighty men killed and wounded. Dur- ing the spring of 1865 the Twenty-ninth was stationed at Fort Har- rison; and, after the evacuation of Richmond, it was among the first to enter the city. After a brief tarry in Richmond, the regiment was transferred to Texas, where it remained until ordered home in the fall of 1865. It was in service one year and eight months.
Thirtieth Infantry. - The organization of this second regiment of colored troops was begun at New Haven in the winter of 1863-1864. Only four companies were finally formed. These were ordered to Virginia, and in the summer of 1864 became a part of the Thirty-

first United-States colored troops, under command of Col. Henry C. Ward. This regiment was engaged at the assault on Petersburg, July 30, when it lost one hundred and thirty-six men. After service at Bermuda Hundred, the regiment was stationed near Fort Harrison, and was with the army that entered Richmond in April, 1865. The regiment was then sent to Texas, where it remained until October, when the Connecticut companies returned home, and were discharged at Hartford, Dec. 1, 1865.
Connecticut is credited on the rolls of the war department with having furnished during the war 55,864 men, or, re- duced to a three-years' standing, with 50,623.
