Preparatory to discharge the Fifty-fourth was relieved from garrison duty, and ordered to rendezvous at Mount Pleasant. Headquarters were located there on the 14th, and by the 17th the companies were all present. At this last camp the rolls and final papers were completed. Under the supervision of Capt. Thomas J. Robinson the

Fifty-fourth was discharged August 20. The roster of officers at the time was as follows : -
Field and Staff, - Colonel and Brevet Brigadier-General, E. N. Hallowell; Lieutenant-Colonel, George Pope ; Major, James M. Walton ; Surgeon, Charles E. Briggs; Assistant Surgeon, Joshua B. Treadwell.
Captains, - James W. Grace (A), Thomas L. Appleton (G), Charles E. Tucker (H), Willard Howard (I), Charles G. Chipman (D), Garth W. James (C), Lewis Reed (K), Robert R. Newell (B), Joseph E. Cousens (E), Charles F. Joy (F).
First Lieutenants, - Benjamin B. Edmands, Stephen A. Swails, Peter Vogelsang (Regimental-Quartermaster), Frank M. Welch, George W. Cranch, William L. Whitney, Jr., John H. Conant, William MeDermott.
Of the twenty-three officers, but eight were of those who left Massachusetts May 28, 1863, forthe field.
August 21, at night, Brevet Brigadier-General Hallo- well, with the right wing, embarked on the steamer "C. F. Thomas," sailed at 5 A. M. on the 22d, and reached Boston at noon of the 26th, where it disembarked at Gallop's Island. Lieutenant-Colonel Pope, with the left wing, left Charleston on the 23d upon the steamer " Ashland," com- pleting the voyage on the 28th. Captain Grace did not return North with the regiment, and fifty-nine enlisted men were left behind sick in hospital. At Gallop's Island, in Boston harbor, the Fifty-fourth remained until Septem- ber 2. There the stores pertaining to the quartermaster's department were turned over to the government officer, and the ordnance stores to Major C. P. Kingsbury. About two thirds of the men exercised the privilege of purchasing their arms, as mementos of service in the war. On Sep-

tember 1 final payment was made, accounts settled, and discharges given out.
A telegram from Charleston of the departure of the regiment was sent to the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts. Upon its receipt the friends of the officers and men ar- ranged for their proper reception in Boston. The news- papers made announcement of the event, indicated the route, and requested the display of the national colors and that refreshments be served on the march.
September 2, the Fifty-fourth at 9 A. M. landed at Com- mercial Wharf from the tugs "Uncle Sam," " William H. Stroud," and another. There it was received by the Fourteenth Unattached Company Massachusetts Volunteer Militia (Shaw Guards, colored), Capt. Lewis Gaul; the Hallowell Union Association, A. M. Hewlett, marshal ; a delegation from the Rev. William Grimes's Twelfth Baptist Society ; and many citizens, accompanied by Gilmore's Band, - all under direction of J. J. Smith, chief marshal. The Boston Brigade Band was also provided for the Fifty- fourth.
After the regiment had landed and passed the escort, the column moved from Commercial to State Street. This thoroughfare was thronged with people, who greeted the veterans with repeated cheers. Great enthusiasm was displayed ; and the passing of the colors was especially honored. As the Fifty-fourth moved through Washington, Franklin, Devonshire, Summer, and Winter streets, similar plaudits greeted it from every side. Entering Tremont Street from Winter, an incident of the occasion was the display in the window of Childs and Jenks's establish- ment of a portrait of Lieutenant Webster, deceased, of the Fifty-fourth, draped in mourning. In passing, appro-

priate music was played, and the regiment gave a march- ing salute in honor of the deceased comrade.
From Tremont Street the column entered Park, thence to the State House, where from the steps Governor Andrew, accompanied by his staff and the Executive Council, re- viewed the veterans as they passed. Proceeding down Beacon Street through Joy, Cambridge, West Cedar, Mount Vernon, Walnut, and Beacon to the Common, everywhere along the route cheers went up from admirers, and friends rushed to shake hands with relatives or acquaintances among the officers and men. Everywhere along the jour- ney the public buildings, including the State House, and parks of the city floated the stars and stripes. Through the throng of citizens lining the eurb, the Fifty-fourth marched, welcomed at every step, with the swing only acquired by long service in the field, and the bearing of seasoned soldiers.
Arriving upon the Common, the regiment halted. In the presence of a very large assemblage, including Mayor Lin- coln, Colonel Kurtz, chief of police, Hon. Henry Wilson, and other gentlemen of prominence, the regiment was ex- ercised for a few moments in the manual of arms. Form- ing from line into a hollow square, Brevet Brigadier-General Hallowell called his officers around him, thanked them for the efficient and manly way they had performed their ser- vice, their uniform kindness to him, and tendered his best wishes for their success and happiness through life. He then addressed the enlisted men, thanking them for the brave manner in which they had supported him in many trying times throughout their service. He said whenever a " forlorn hope " had been called for, the Fifty-fourth had been ready and prompt to respond. They had protected
320

their colors and brought them home again, -there was little left of them, but enough to show how bravely they had been defended. They had proved good soldiers in the field ; now he hoped they would become good citizens. When they left Massachusetts, it was the only State which recognized them as citizens. Now the whole country acknowledged their soldierly qualities. He hoped that by good behavior they would show their title to all the privi- leges of citizenship.
Continuing, he reminded them that their blood had en- riched the soil of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida ; might the sweat of their brows now enrich the soil of Massachusetts. Might they show themselves to be men, without respect to color or former condition. He bade them good-by. He was glad to disband them, but he was sorry to part from them. Still, he knew they looked upon him as their friend, and felt sure that wherever he might go he would find friends among colored soldiers and col- ored men. In conclusion, he reminded them that having received large sums of money just paid to them, it should be kept. He hoped that all who had homes out of the city would return to them when disbanded.
Upon the conclusion of this address repeated cheers were given for General Hallowell. Then the square was reduced, and some manœuvres were executed by the regiment. It then marched to the Charles-street Mall, and there par- took of a collation spread upon tables, which had been pre- pared by William Tufts at the order of friends of the Fifty-fourth. Then the regiment was disbanded.
Company C, recruited largely in New Bedford, was escorted to the cars by the Shaw Guards. At New Bed- ford, when the company arrived, a large number of citizens,

a reception committee, and the Carney Guards (colored), with the New Bedford Band, were in waiting. With the escort, the veterans, some twenty-two in number, passed through crowded streets to the City Hall. There a meeting was held in their honor, which was called to order by W. H. Johnson, at which speeches were made by Henry F. Harrison and James B. Congdon. Afterward a colla- tion was provided by the colored people for the company.
Before the officers of the Fifty-fourth parted, an invita- tion was extended to them for the succeeding Monday evening, to attend a reception at the residence of John · Ritchie, Esq., their late quartermaster, at Chester Park.
The Boston " Evening Transeript " thus referred to the event of the day : -
" The Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment, the pioneer State colored regiment of this country, recruited at a time when great prejudices existed against enlisting any but so- called white men in the army, when a colored soldiery was con- sidered in the light of an experiment almost certain to fail, this command - which now returns crowned with laurels, and after two hundred thousand of their brethren, from one end of the traitorous South to the other, have fought themselves into public esteem - had such a reception to-day as befitted an organization the history of which is admitted to form so con- spicuous a part of the annals of the country."
In the words of Von Moltke, " War is an element in the order of the world ordained by God. In it the noblest virtues of mankind are developed, - courage and the ab- negation of self, faithfulness to duty and the spirit of sacri- fice : the soldier gives his life." With the loyal volunteers who defended the Union of States these virtues were not only dominant, but were joined with the nobler one of
21
322
FIFTY-FOURTH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY.
patriotism, which nerved them to contend against national dissolution, brought on by Southern politicians to perpetu- ate their waning power, under the guise of a struggle for slavery and State rights.
It has been written that " the regiment is the family." To the soldier his true commander is a father ; his superiors, elder brothers to be deferred to and obeyed ; the recruits, his younger kinsmen whom he cares for and supports by example. He cherishes and proudly recounts the traditions of glorious deeds and dangerous enterprises.
The flag is the object of his sentimental devotion, which he has sworn to defend with his life. Every hole in the tattered silk or mark upon its staff tells of valor- ous strife in a just cause. Each legend inscribed upon its stripes is the brief story of regimental glory.
Such esprit du corps in its fullest perfection has served to carry men joyfully to death in the effort to win the imperishable renown secured by famous regiments. It earned for the Fifty-seventh Demi-Brigade before Mantua, in Napoleon's first Italian campaign, the name of "The Terrible ;" for the Forty-second Royal Highlanders, whose black tartans shadowed many a battlefield, its undy- ing reputation ; and for the Zouaves of the Guard who led the assault upon the Malikoff, the plaudits of their countrymen. The gallant deeds of these foreign regi- ments were rivalled in our Civil War; but, unlike them, our organizations were of brief existence, and are of the past.
A recent writer upon our late war has said of the private soldier : -
" He does not expect to see his own name on the titlepage of history, and is content with a proper recognition of the old
323
FINAL SERVICE.
command in which he fought ; but he is jealous of the record of his regiment, and demands credit for every shot it faced and every grave it filled."
It is with a pride in the regiment which we trust others may deem pardonable, a painstaking endeavor to satisfy the natural expectations of the survivors who helped to ac- quire its honorable record and to preserve the traditions and recount the cheerful sacrifices of both the living and the dead, that this history has been written.
During a period of field-service covering twenty-six months almost every kind of military duty fell to the lot of the Fifty-fourth. Not only did it, in common with other infantry organizations, encounter the foe on advanced posts, in assault, and battle-line, but its services under fire as engineers and artillerymen were required during the siege operations in which it bore part.
Thrice was the regiment selected for desperate duty, - to lead the charge on Wagner, to advance the siege-works against the same stronghold when defeat confronted the troops, and to hold back the victorious enemy at Olustee until a new battle-line could be formed. Twice did it land upon hostile territory preceding all other regiments of the invading foree, receiving the fire of the enemy or driving his light troops. The important task of guarding several hundred Confederate officers was also especially given to it.
But these services were not rendered without serious losses. How great they were was not even known to the author until after the history, except these closing lines, was in print, as the Roster which follows was not com- pleted, and only from it could be gleaned the long list of those who died of wounds in hospital, home, and prison-
324
FIFTY-FOURTH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY.
pen. The mortality and casualty lists evidence the sacri- fices made by the Fifty-fourth in the line of duty. With an aggregate enrolment of 1,354 officers and men, the regi- ment suffered a loss of 5 officers and 95 men known to have been killed or who died of their wounds. There were 106 men reported missing, 19 of whom are known to have died in prison, and 30 who lived to be released, leaving 57 missing in action. The casualty list is completed by the further loss of 20 officers and 274 men wounded, making a total loss of 500, which is 36.9 per cent of the enrol- ment. The death of 93 men out of an enrolment of 1,286, from disease and accident alone, gives a percentage of 7.2 against 15.9, which is said to be the rate for the total of colored troops enrolled. This evidences superior material or care on the part of the Fifty-fourth.
It has been shown how the regiment by its steadfast resolve, with the assistance of its friends, wrung justice and equal rights with white soldiers from the Govern- ment in the matter of pay and the muster of colored officers.
In connection with other colored organizations, the Fifty- fourth contributed to the establishment of a fact bearing strongly upon the military resources of our country then and now. We have read in the opening chapter that the United States only called the blacks to bear arms when disaster covered the land with discouragement and volun- teering had ceased. It is also to be remembered that our enemy, having from the incipiency of the Rebellion em- ployed this class as laborers for warlike purposes, at the last resolved upon enrolling them in their armies. This plan, however, was still-born, and was the final and wildest dream of Davis, Lee, and the crumbling Confederacy. But
325

the courage and fidelity of the blacks, so unmistakably demonstrated during the Civil War, assures to us, in the event of future need, a class to recruit from now more available, intelligent, educated, and self-reliant, and more patriotic, devoted, and self-sacrificing, if such were possible, than thirty years ago.
