SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. - ACTION OF THE TOWN.
" Joint saviors of the land, to-day What guerdon ask you of the land ? No boon too great for you to pray - What can it give that could repay The men we miss from our worn band ? The men who lie in trench and swamp, The dead who rock beneath the wave - The brother-souls of march and camp - Bright spirits - each a shining lamp, Teaching how nobly die the brave. "
W THEN the struggle for the Nation's life was over, and the flag of the Union everywhere waved in triumph, then it was that the country began fairly to realize its in- debtedness to those whose self-sacrificing courage and heroic battling had achieved the victory. The soldiers had indeed been welcomed home with every sign of popular rejoicing, all had united in extending to the brave men who had survived the conflict the heartiest greeting, but the pro- found gratitude of the people craved some more enduring expression. The memory of the triumphs of our citizen- soldiery deserved to be perpetuated, and the national grati- tude began to incarnate itself in monuments which should tell the story of the war. Art, which had been able to embellish the castles of king and noble, and had erected its memorials in the great cathedrals and cities of the Old World was invoked to do honor to the heroes of our se- cured liberties.
The most enduring memorial of the service of those

SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. - ACTION OF THE TOWN. 377
who periled their lives to maintain the Government, is in the ennobling institutions they preserved, and in the popular liberties which they perpetuated. Still, there was a beautiful fitness in each city, town, and village honor- ing its own patriot dead by the monuments that grateful friends and fellow-citizens should erect to their memory. A monument reared for such a purpose is a public benefit. It embodies patriotism, truth, and faith, it gives form and expression to the best feelings of our nature. Thus would each community bear witness to other generations that those commemorated by the monumental shaft were wor- thy of all honor. The names, too, engraved on stone or bronze, would descend to posterity as those worthy of being preserved,and ever be spoken with increasing ven- eration.
A monument dedicated to some distinguished military or civic hero, awakens far different emotions than one which commemorates numbers of fallen braves. No single name in the latter case absorbs our attention, no one majestic figure encinctured with an halo of glory and renown, rises before us. We think rather of the many individual soldiers, of their sacrifice and valor, of their humble or splendid service, of their death in camp, in prison, or on the battle-field. The history of their young lives comes up in review, and the anxiety with which they were watched by those from whose sides they went forth, the sadness and heart-breaking the tidings. of their deaths produced, all this the "soldiers' monument " serves to recall.
Norwich citizens very early after the war closed began to agitate the question of securing some fitting public memo- rial for their patriot dead. The list of those who had lost their lives while in the service of their country was a long one, and included on it the names of some very widely

known and tenderly loved. How to unite in some public measure, for the commemoration of all, was a question not easily settled. It was felt that, what was done publicly, should be on a scale commensurate with the solemn object in view. No one felt that too much could be done in securing some fit and general testimonial of the grat- itude of the people to the dead ; rather was it questioned how best can we honor the memory of those to whom we owe so much. After more or less discussion of the subject by the daily papers, a public meeting was called for June fourteenth, 1869, in Breed Hall. His Honor Mayor Blackstone presided, and in his opening remarks stated, " that all would agree that there is a moral obligation resting on this community to erect a suitable monument to the memory of those who fell in the late war, and the object of this meeting was to raise funds for that purpose."
Senator Buckingham then offered the following resolu- tions : -
" Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed by the chair to solicit and collect funds, for the erection of a monument to the Norwich soldiers and seamen who fell in our late war for the preservation of the National Union.
" Resolved, That the said committee be, and they are hereby, directed to deposit any money that they may collect for the above object, with either of the Savings Societies in this city, and when- ever the fund shall in their judgment be large enough to justify action, they shall call a meeting of those who contribute, and of those who subscribe, that they may make arrangements to procure a proper plan and to erect such monument."
The following additional resolution was also offered :-
" Resolved, That the same committee be requested to procure the preparation and publication of a Soldiers' Memorial volume, containing some brief account of the service rendered in the war by representatives of this town, and a full obituary record of those
SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. - ACTION OF TIIE TOWN. 379
who died during the progress of the same, and that the expense of publishing the book, over and above the receipts from its sale. be defrayed from the monument fund."
Senator Buckingham then added, " that he would occupy only a few moments, as the resolutions clearly stated the object of themeeting. When the National Government and all our institutions and rights were imperiled, when an organized rebellion broke out in 1861, and when the demands of the rebels had caused the fall of Fort Sumter, on the twelfth of April the President of the United States called for seventy-five thousand troops to protect the capital of the country. The next day the Governor of this State called for volunteers, and the people of Norwich responded with a public meeting at which three companies were organized under Henry Peale, Edward Harland, and F. S. Chester. These companies were mustered into the service of the United States, and met the enemy at the first Bull Run, and David C. Bliss gave his life to the cause of Nationality. More troops were called for, but it was not until after four years that the power of the rebellion was crushed, and the authority of the government vindicated. It was done by the gallant soldiers of the loyal Northern States, and to them we owe all that is valuable of what we possess. Of that army of two millions of men, Connecticut gave fifty-four thousand, than whom no better ever went out, and Norwich sent not less than fifteen hundred. Of the first grand army of two hundred thousand, what number from Norwich found graves on the battle-field, I know not. But it is a duty we owe to them, and to ourselves to inscribe their names on imperishable granite, and the names of the living on a memo- rial to hand down to our children as a remembrance of what these soldiers have done for the country."
Rev. Mr. Dana being called on by the chairman, advo- cated in brief remarks the prompt and generous commem-

oration in some appropriate way of those to whom the town owes in common with the country, such a debt of gratitude.
The Hon. John T. Wait followed, saying, " the resolutions met with his hearty approval. If ever the country owed a debt it was to the young men who gave up their lives for its preservation. Were we to be remiss in discharging the obli- gations thus imposed upon us, we should be unworthy the blessings of liberty and good government. I look around me, and see men, some of them far advanced in years who sent forth their sons to battle for their country. Some fell in the heat of battle, some were wounded and languished in hospitals, others returned to spend a few days only in the companionship of their friends, and die from disease con- tracted in the service. Here beside me is one whose son was starved to death at Andersonville. He feels the debt we owe. You, gentlemen, feel it ; I feel it ; and I trust there is not one in the community but is impressed in the same manner. It is desirable that we act promptly. Long speeches are unnecessary."
General Harland spoke next, saying "he thought this matter should be left in the hands of the citizens, and not of those who were in the army. The cause commended itself, and the army-men would take hold, and help it along. The only question now was as to its practicability, of which he had no doubt. The resolutions were eminently proper."
The Hon. H. H. Starkweather, added, " he supposed every one was in full accord with this project. The town that sent fifteen hundred men to the war, which was always ahead of its quota, and which increased its aid to the cause by private contributions, could hardly be behindhand now. The com- mittee, he thought, would easily raise such a sum, as would put it upon a sure basis. Some felt as if our debts would never be paid, - all know there is one which never can be, and that is to the soldiers who stood like a wall of fire to

protect us in our liberties. My mind goes back to the fourteenth of April when we met in this hall to help on the work. Young men from the counter and the shop enlisted, we gave them our blessing, and bade them God speed, and with those who lived we rejoiced when they came back, and gave them honor."
Further remarks were made by General James B. Coit, and Colonel Peale. The following letter from General Ely was then read by the Secretary : -
To the Hon. LORENZO BLACKSTONE.
Dear Sir, - I regret exceedingly that illness in my family prevents my being present at your meeting this evening, to raise funds for a memorial monument to the heroes of Norwich. I shall however take pleasure in subscribing to that fund, with full assurance that the pages of history will be searched in vain for names more worthy of lasting glory than those of Goddard, Culver, Downer, Wait, Breed, Maginnis, and scores of others from Nor- wich - whose hearts ceased to beat with patriotic and heroic throb, only when shattered by cannon shot and minnie ball. Nor are those less worthy who fell by disease, starvation, and imprison- ment, suffering tortures of death, with unyielding fortitude. The least that we owe them is a handsome memorial monument ; we owe it to their friends and relations ; we owe it to ourselves to prove that we are not entirely cold-blooded and devoid of grati- tude ; and to our country, especially we owe it, that it may show posterity that the patriots who fell fighting for country and liberty, still live in the hearts of the people.
Yours truly, WVM. G. ELY.
The Secretary read the resolutions offered, when they were enthusiastically adopted, and the Chairman announced the following committee in accordance with the requirement of the same : The Hon. W. A. Buckingham, Amos W. Pren- tice, the Hon. John T. Wait, the Rev. M. McG. Dana, Dr. C. B. Webster, James S. Carew, Edwin P. Avery, E. P.

Slocum ; and by special motion, Misses Elizabeth Greene and Eliza Perkins were added. The meeting then adjourned.
While this gathering was not as large as those which were held during war times, yet it was spirited, and had not a little of the fervor and earnest purpose which had charac- terized the popular assemblies often convened in Breed Hall for objects connected with the war. The sentiment of re- spect and affection for the fallen soldiers, which the com- munity cherished, found expression in this meeting. Some public presentment of the subject, like that secured through this popular assemblage, seemed indispensable, and it was the means of bringing the matter before the people in a way to secure final action.
The delay in starting the enterprise had not been owing to indifference, but rather to the diversity of judgment as to the best method of commemorating the dead. Many had hoped a large memorial hall would be erected, which serving at once as a monument to the patriot heroes of the town, would also be a public utility, meeting a felt need of the community.
But by the action of the citizens at this public gathering, the form of the memorial was decided upon, and arrange- ments were made to secure the requisite funds.
Before the committee had made much progress in this direction, the project of meeting the expense town-wise be- gan to be discussed, and in every quarter met with favor. It seemed to be the most equable and expeditious method of disposing of a matter that had already been too long delayed.
Accordingly, at the annual town meeting, October third, 1870, the Hon. William A. Buckingham introduced the fol- lowing resolutions : -
" Resolved, That a sum of money, not exceeding fifteen cents on one hundred dollars of the assessment list of the town, be,
SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. - ACTION OF THE TOWN. 383
and the same is hereby appropriated for the erection of a suitable monument to the memory of all soldiers and seamen who were residents of, and belonged to the town at their enlistment, and who have died in the military or naval service of the United States, during the late war against the Government of the United States.
" Resolved, That a committee of three persons be appointed by the moderator of this meeting, who shall determine the design of the proposed monument, erect the same upon what is known as the 'Soldiers' lot' in Yantic Cemetery, and supervise and direct the expenditure of the money hereby appropriated."
After considerable debate, in reference to the best site for the monument, resulting in an amendment changing the location to "the north end of the Great Plain,' the resolu- tions were heartily adopted. The Moderator named as the committee to take charge of the procuring and erection of the monument, the Hon. W. A. Buckingham, the Hon. J. T. Wait, and James A. Hovey.
A contract was soon made with Batterson, Canfield, & Co., of Hartford, to furnish the monument according to a design submitted to the committee, and by the latter approved.
The monument is of white granite, taken from the cele- brated quarries of J. G. Batterson, at Westerly, R. I. The design is of a soldier of the Union Army, supported on a massive pedestal. The statue is colossal, having a height of twelve feet, which imparts an air of grandeur, aside from the natural dignity expressed in the artist's concep- tion of his subject.
The soldier stands in an easy attitude ; the left foot slightly advanced, the body supported by the right. His musket rests against the arm, and is held by both hands, while the face, turned slightly towards the left, bears an ex- pression of thoughtfulness, as if recalling to memory the scenes of the past struggle for liberty and the Union.
384
THE NORWICH MEMORIAL.
The plinth under the statue bears in bold relief the arms of the Commonwealth, with the shield of the United States and the State motto -
" Qui transtulit, sustinet."
The die, or principal stone of the pedestal is to hold in relief bronze tablets, cut in Germany, and bearing the names of soldiers from Norwich, who gave their lives to their country.
On the front of the monument is the following inscrip- tion : -
ERECTED BY THE TOWN OF NORWICH IN MEMORY OF HER BRAVE SONS WIIO VOLUNTARILY ENTERED TIIE MILITARY SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES AND LOST THEIR LIVES IN DEFENSE OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT DURING THE REBELLION.
The monument measures ten feet square at the base, and the entire height is twenty-seven feet six inches. The base consists of one stone, and weighs over fourteen tons. Above the base the pedestal is octagonal. The moldings of the cap and base are sharply cut, and the whole monument is exe- cuted in the most finished manner, and is highly creditable to the artist, and to the committee who have had the matter in charge.
As a work of art, it is its own advocate ; as a memorial of the brave men who sealed their patriotic devotion with their life-blood, it is confessedly a noble one.
The monument is appropriately located at the head of the " Great Plain," along whose sides in stately row stand the splendid elms which give to it its beauty, and seem like hoary sentinels guarding it from desecrating intruders. The incoming travel from the north which enters the city by its two grand thoroughfares, must pass it ; while all the pop-
SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. - ACTION OF THE TOWN. 385
ulation south of it, have now this spot made sacred for them, to which they can come in thoughtful hours, and on fes- tival days, leaving behind the noise, and dust, and crowded streets of the city, and find here a fit place for communion with the spirits of the heroic dead whose names are inscribed on the monument's base. The symbolic statue, sugges- tive to every beholder, will speak to all upon whom its shadow falls, of the soldier's work and worth.
May the monument stand, not for a few years, but for many generations, witnessing in its environment of natural beauty, to self-sacrifice and faith. May the westering sun, sending out its rays over the broad plateau this monument consecrates, linger and play upon the motionless figure which here henceforth shall lift its lines to publish the story of those it commemorates. The town has reared it, as it was meet it should, in grateful recognition of services that have shed new lustre upon its history, and been prolific in benefits not only to its denizens but to the nation as well. The town has reared it, as it was just it should, to perpetuate the names it holds in honored remembrance, and would se- cure from oblivion to the remotest time. Let the snows and rains of heaven fall upon it ; let the winds and sunlight play about it ; let the city in its outward sweep of growth fold it in more complete embrace - still may it stand, the memorial of patriotism, courage, and heroic achievements.
By this action of the town, the citizen-committee ap- pointed to raise funds for the monument were relieved of further responsibility in the matter, and had left upon their hands the remaining item which the resolutions offered in the first public meeting contemplated, - the preparation of a soldiers' memorial volume.
This was a far more difficult matter to arrange for, in- volving, as it did, on the part of whoever should undertake it, great labor, and an amount of time that almost no one
386
THE NORWICH MEMORIAL.
could command. Moreover, it must necessarily be a work of love, taxing the patience of such a volunteer author, and requiring no little delicacy and tact in the execution of his task.
The committee, however, were exceedingly in earnest as to this part of the unfulfilled vote of the citizens. No re- source was left untried to secure some one to assume the work of editing the proposed volume, and after unavoidable delay, such arrangements were made as to the committee seemed finally satisfactory.
The labor of collecting the material and preparing it for the press, was taken in hand, and accomplished as rapidly as was possible. The publication of the book, with all the pecuniary risks incident thereto, was turned over to Messrs. Jewett & Co., and through them the " Memorial Volume " desired by the public has been issued.
This book, containing the military history of the town of Norwich during the exciting years of the war, recording its patriotism and sacrifices ; memorializing the brave men who went forth from this community and yielded up their lives in the service of the country, is now submitted to the kindly notice and considerate judgment of its readers, with the consciousness on the part of the author of its incom- pleteness, and unsatisfactory character.
In bringing the pleasant though tasking labors of many months to an end, the Author has to regret that the narrative has been necessarily so meagre. So many years have inter- vened since the scenes and incidents of the war herein de- scribed in part, or in brief referred to, that many facts which would have added to the interest of the history, have passed out of mind.
Some persons, who could have recalled what would have been worth recording, or furnished letters and bits of war experience which constitute oftentimes the charm of a
SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. - ACTION OF THE TOWN 387
memorial work of this kind, have moved away, or have died. In consequence of this, and for other kindred reasons, the writer in preparing this volume, has labored at great disad- vantage. Still, it is doubtless better to have preserved, even if imperfect and incomplete, this chapter of civic his- tory and patriotism, than to have allowed it to fade wholly from memory, - to be always a missing passage from out the annals of the town.
In making our story public, we are but telling what part we took in the preservation of our National Union ; what sacrifices were made among us for the suppression of a re- bellion that threatened destruction to all our dearest rights. This by ourselves and by our children, will ever be a story which will be read with honest pride, and in the hope that it may deepen our love of country, and help us to remem- ber with tender hearts the heroic dead, has this record of the patriotic services of the sons and daughters of Nor- wich been written.
