The Twenty-sixth Regiment.1-This regiment was recruited almost exclusively in New London County, under the call of President Lincoln, Aug. 4, 1862, for three hundred thousand men to serve for nine months. This call of the President met with a hearty and enthusiastic response by many who hither- to had been hindered by consideration of family or business from entering upon a three years' term of service, believing that a vigorous campaign with three hundred thousand new recruits to our army would carry the war beyond the most critical point. On the 5th of September the Twenty-sixth Regiment was or- dered to rendezvous at Camp Russell, Norwich, and by the 15th of September all the companies were as- sembled, and the regiment numbered 810 men. The line-officers, every one of whom except Lieut. Childs were from New London County, received their com- missions September 6th. The regiment was fully or- ganized September 22d, and the commissions of the field-officers bear that date. From this time until November 13th there was great enthusiasmn mani- fested in the various companies in perfecting them- selves in company and regimental drill. Many of the officers and privates had seen service in the State mil- itia, and some with the "three months" men in and near Washington, while others were entering upon their first military experience, but all were fired with the same patriotic ardor and desire to have some hon- orable part in subduing the Rebellion. While in Camp Russell, Company K, Capt. Randall, of Gro- ton, was presented by the ladies of Mystic River with an elegant silk flag, which was highly prized by the company and never disgraced in battle. On the 13th of November Camp Russell was vacated, under orders to join Gen. Banks' expedition, then gathering in the vicinity of New York. On this occasion the city was filled with the friends of the regiment from the sur- rounding towns, and as it marched through the streets to the wharf many patriotic and encouraging words were spoken by the friends of the soldiers, while there were many throbbing hearts and tearful eyes for those who for love of liberty and country were leaving behind family and friends perhaps to return no more. At five P.M. the steamer " Commodore" steamed away down the Thames, while the regimental band played the cheerful air, " The Girl I left Behind Me." The next morning the boat arrived at Williamsburg, L. I., and the regiment immediately disembarked and took up its line of march to Centreville race-course, where it arrived by one P.M. Of the seven nine months' regi- ments called at the same time from Connecticut, the Twenty-sixth was the first to arrive, and Col. Kings- ley assumed command, and named the post Camp Buckingham, in honor of the "war Governor."


December 4th, camp was again broken, and the regi- ment marched to Brooklyn, and there embarked on board the steamer " Empire City," with orders to join

MILITARY HISTORY.


Gen. Banks' expedition at New Orleans. The passage to New Orleans was uneventful, except a storm of unusual severity while passing Cape Hatteras, which for a day and night was alarming even to the ship's officers. December 18th, the regiment arrived at Carrollton, on the outskirts of New Orleans, and immediately disembarked at Camp Parapet, where it remained until May 20th, performing guard duty and detached service. While at Camp Parapet several men died, and their bodies were embalmed at the expense of the members of the regiment and sent to their friends at home. May 20th, camp was again broken to join the main army of Gen. Banks, then investing the rebel stronghold of Port Hudson. Great enthusiasm was manifested in camp at the prospect of active service at the front, without fear of death that so soon awaited so many brave comrades. On the 26th of May the outer works of Port Hudson were reached, which were abandoned by the enemy after slight skirmishing. The Twenty-sixth encamped for the night within the enemy's outer works, and was ordered to make picket connection with Gen. Augur's division on its right, which was successfully done, and the investment of the rebel stronghold was com- pleted and they shut off from Baton Rouge, their base of supplies. Early next morning, May 27th, an ever- to-be-remembered day, the rebels opened a heavy ean- nonade all along the lines, which, with the sharp crack of the pickets' rifles in the woods in the imme- diate front, left no doubt in the minds of the men that their desire for active service was about to be realized. Many will ever remember their first sensa- tions as the solid shot crashed through the woods and the bullets whizzed through the air. The Twenty- sixth was in Gen. Neal Dow's brigade, Gen. T. W. Sherman's division, Nineteenth Corps. Gen. Sher- man's division, occupying the extreme left, was brought into action on the afternoon of the 27th of May, and made a vigorous assault upon the enemy, strongly intrenched. The advance was by brigades in column by regiments, the Twenty-sixth being the third in line. The assault was met by a murderous fire from the enemy at three hundred yards' range. Broken ground, a deep ravine, a burning plantation-house, and several fences made the approach slow. The entire division was repulsed, but not without having made a gallant charge. In this charge the gallant Gen. Sherman lost his leg. Gen. Dow was wounded and made a prisoner. One colonel of the brigade was killed and two colonels wounded. The Twenty-sixth bore an honorable part. Early in the advance Col. Kingsley was shot through the mouth and was carried from the field, and the command devolved upon Lieut .- Col. Selden, who retained it, except during a few days of severe sickness, until the regiment was mustered out. In this battle Capt. John L. Stanton, of Com- pany G, a Norwich citizen, highly esteemed, was killed by a ball through his head. He was brave to rashness. He died highly esteemed by all his regimental as-


sociates. Capt. Jedediah Randall, of Company K, was seriously wounded through both legs. He died at Baton Rouge, June 9th. Capt. Randall was an intelligent and accomplished officer and gentleman, who abandoned very brilliant business and social prospects to enter the army. He was truly lamented in death by all who knew him. Lieut. Martin R. Kenyon, of Company B, died of wounds received in this engagement. He will be remembered as a genial friend and a brave soldier. Space will not admit of mention of many brave acts and hair-breadth escapes on this eventful day. In addition to those of whom mention has been made, five privates were killed, five commissioned officers and ninety-three enlisted men were wounded, and one missing, making a total of one hundred and seven in this first engagement of the regiment. This record is a sufficient proof of the bravery and gallantry of these citizen-soldiers. From this time until June 13th the regiment was in constant service, and under fire day and night without tents of any kind. When the commanding general of the division was told that many of his troops were "nine months" men, he remarked that he intended to get three years' service out of them.


On the 13th of June a reconnoissance was made in force, in which the regiment lost in killed one and in wounded seven enlisted men. Early on Sunday morn- ing, the day following, the entire brigade was ordered to assault the enemy's works on the extreme left, where most strongly intrenched, on the Mississippi River. From depletion by previous engagements and sick- ness, the available force of the regiment was now re- duced to 235 officers and men. These, however, had already borne the service of veterans, and without flinching advanced to the deadly charge with a stead- iness deserving the highest praise. Lieut .- Col. Selden, in command, handled the regiment, ploying and de- ploying on the advance with the coolness of a field- parade. In this engagement, which lasted several hours, the loss to the regiment was : killed, eight en- listed men ; wounded, two commissioned officers and fifty-one enlisted men. So efficient was the service rendered on the 14th of June that the commanding general complimented the regiment in general orders, and said that the " engagement had demonstrated the fact that the nine months' troops could be relied upon in any emergency." In this battle Adjt. S. B. Meech was wounded, and his life was saved by his Bible in his side pocket. Here the lamented Lieut. H. F. Jacobs fell, and with him four killed and fifteen men wounded by the explosion of the same shell. He re- fused to be taken from the field until all around him had been removed, thus manifesting the knightly spirit that was in him. He died in Baton Rouge Hospital in July, lamented by associates and friends. From this time until the surrender of Port Hudson, which occurred on the 8th of July, 1863, the regiment was in constant service in the trenches, parallels, and out- post duty. The regiment was honored by being se-

lected as one of ten to enter and receive the formal surrender of Port Hudson, and in this performance was assigned the second post of honor. Its active service at Port Hudson had embraced forty-five days, every one of which was a day of fighting or fatigue duty, being constantly under fire. Its term of ser- vice having expired, the regiment returned home via steamers up the Mississippi River to Cairo, thence by railway and steamer from New York, arriving in Norwich November 7th. On the return journey many sick and dying had been left at various hos- pitals in Memphis, Cairo, Mound City, Chicago, and Toledo. For the relief of them Governor Bucking- ham commissioned Capt. L. A. Gallup, of Company F, to return to all these hospitals and furnish such assistance as he deemed necessary for the comfort and return of these invalids. Upon its arrival in Norwich the regiment received a most hearty public welcome, with appropriate addresses by city officials and a bountiful collation by the citizens. On this occasion Mayor James Lloyd Green said in his address, . "Soldiers, during your nine months of service you have endured the privations and hardships of the camp and the march, you have faced the perils of sickness, and have braved wounds, mutilation, and death. On the field of battle you have nobly upheld the honor of the State, and have proved, in common with all Connecticut regiments, that, though our State is small in size, she is pre-eminent in the valor and manhood of her sons." . . Returning from the ma- larial State of Louisiana to the bracing climate of Con- necticut, very many were almost immediately stricken down by deadly disease, and soon passed to the roll- call of the Great Captain within the heavenly gates, mourned and loved the better for service rendered their country in its time of peril. While all were lamented, many will here stop and shed tears of true sorrow over the grave of Lieut. Edward P. Manning, of Company F, who, returning in apparent perfect health, was soon stricken down by malarial fever, and on the 17th of August, the day the regiment was mustered out of service, he was himself called to an- swer the roll-call in the army of saints in heaven. He was especially dear to every member of the regi- ment, as well as to all who had the pleasure of his ac- quaintance in private life. The Twenty-sixth Regi- ment participated in three engagements at Port Hud- son, and sustained the following losses while in ser- vice : killed in action, 15; died of wounds, 30; died of disease, 72; wounded and recovered, 57. Total, 174.
