CHAPTER XVII.


THE SOLDIERS OF COÖS.


" For what he was and all he dared, Remember him to day !"


BY HENRY O. KENT.


u RGED to prepare a chapter, which shall commemorate the men of Coös living and dead, who took part in the great work of preserving Federal unity and National honor during the War of the Rebell- ion, I consented with reluctance and approach this labor at once congenial and exacting, with hesitation.


So lofty was the devotion of those who died, so honorable the services of those who survived, that only the most complete and exhaustive record can do their deeds and their memory justice, while so inadequate are the sources of information, that many errors of omission must neces- sarily occur, which may pain survivors or do seeming injustice to those who are gone.


In the pages that follow, I have compiled a brief record of the service of each organization, with a list of its membership. drawing upon the following authorities, all that could be made available for my purpose, supplementing this information from my personal knowledge.


I have carefully copied the names of all soldiers of Coös whose resi- dence is there stated, from the Adjutant-General's report of 1865, revis- ing this from the reports of the same office issued later.


Had the work authorized by the legislature of 1885 been completed, the Soldiers' Record. now in process of compilation by the Adjutant-Gen- eral, more information might have been obtained. Comparison has also been made with the roster of soldiers now resident in the county, who


161


THE SOLDIERS OF CoOS.


served in organizations outside the state, as appears by the member- ship of the several Grand Army posts. Time has also been spent in the Adjutant-General's office at Concord. to perfect this record.


It is practically impossible, in a work of this character, to follow the promotions or transfers from one command to another, and the casualties. and therefore, only the name, regiment and company. when attainable, and residence is given with such occasional reference to rank or transfer as was patent. or is recollected by the compiler.


The sketches are compiled from the current publications of the war period, the reports of the Adjutant-General, Waite's " New Hampshire in the Rebellion." and information within my personal knowledge or control.


With this prolix introduction, without which I should be unwilling to assume the responsibilities of this chapter, I attempt a brief sketch of each command, a list of such soldiers as the county furnished, as exhib- ited by the authorities referred to. and a list of veterans now resident among us, who served in ontside organizations as shown by the rosters of the Grand Army posts within our limits.


In every war our people have done their full share. The pioneers of Coos were the men of the "Old French War," of Rogers' Rangers, and of the Army of Independence. Later they responded in field and garri- son during the war with Great Britain in 1812, they organized companies for duty on the frontier, were called out in the "Applebee War," to sup- . press the troubles at Indian Stream, and sent valiant men in the Ninth to follow Pierce and Ransom in the war with Mexico.


There is no priority in honor, no monopoly in patriotism. The deeds and memory of these men should be, and are, recorded elsewhere.


At the breaking out of the war in April, 1861, there was in the state no organized force to send to the front, or to serve as the nucleus for vol- unteer regiments. The earlier military organization of the state-divided into forty-two regiments, and comprising all able bodied male citizens. between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, -- ceased to be operative, about ten years before, while in its place existed a paper system, made up of three Major-Generals and six Brigadier-Generals, with their respective staffs, and an enrolled but unorganized force.


There were the two military and social commands, known as the Gov- ernor's Horse Guards and the Amoskeag Veterans, the Lyndeborough Artillery and a few-perhaps half a dozen-other volunteer companies. This force was invited, rather than ordered, into camp at Nashua, in the autumn of 1860, where, with several purely voluntary organizations, it held a three days' "muster." This was the last appearance of the old state militia, and when the time of exigency came we were wholly unpre- pared for immediate action.

HISTORY OF COOS COUNTY.


Ichabod Goodwin, of Portsmouth, was Governor, elected in March, 1860, his term expiring in June, 1861, and Joseph C. Abbott was Adjutant and Quartermaster-General, having been appointed in 1855. Governor Good- win was a retired merchant of high character and fine executive ability. Without a soldier at his command, or a dollar with which to equip him, he was fully equal to the emergency. Troops were raised, and on the strength of Mr. Goodwin's personal repute and responsibility, the banks at once proffered sufficient money to arm and forward the men. The leg- islature, at its session the following June, endorsed and ratified his action, but the fact remains that to his patriotism, firmness, responsibility and executive energy. New Hampshire is indebted, both for her prompt and credible response to the call of the President and the inauguration of the system which raised, equipped and forwarded the succeeding com- mands. all of which earned the gratitude of the state and reflected honor upon it.


Nathaniel S. Berry, elected in 1861, was inaugurated Governor in June of that year. He was succeeded in June, 1863, by Joseph A. Gilmore, who held office until June, 1865, when Frederick Smyth succeeded to the executive chair. During these critical years these chief magistrates exer- cised the great powers entrusted to them generally with wise discretion, and they were held in esteem by the soldiers of the state.


Adjutant-General Abbott found himself without arms or equipments, .confronted by an almost appalling emergency. He was zealous and en- titled to commendation for his labors in fitting out the earlier regiments, which went to the front exceptionally well provided. General Abbott resigned in the summer of 1861, and, by authority from the War Depart- ment, raised the Seventh Infantry, going out as its Lieutenant-Colonel. He became Colonel on the death of Col. Putnam, who was killed at Fort Wagner, was promoted to Brigadier General, was commandant of the city and district of Wilmington, North Carolina, and after the war a sena- tor from that state, at Washington. He subsequently engaged in business in North Carolina, where he died.


He was succeeded by ex-Governor Anthony Colby, as Adjutant-Gen- eral of the state, who in turn was followed by his son. Daniel E. Colby, who held the office until the accession of Governor Gilmore in 1864, when Natt Head, afterwards Governor, was made Adjutant-General, hold- ing the place until his accession to the chief magistracy, when the present Adjutant-General, A. D. Ayling, was appointed.


The Colbys, father and son, were reliable, earnest men, who brought to their duties devotion and painstaking care. General Head became at once favorably and widely known, and his excellent administration of the office had much to do with his advancement to the executive chair.


It is an act of justice to say, that the present Adjutant-General, him-


163


THE SOLDIERS OF COOS.


self a veteran of the war, by his zeal in perfecting the invaluable records of the soldiers of the state, and his ability in their preparation, as well as by his general efficiency. merits recognition from New Hampshire soldiers among the executive officers who organized, equipped. and forwarded our forces.


The "boys" who, during the process of organization and muster, were familiar with the State House and its officials, will not have forgotten Hon. Thomas L. Tullock. Hon. Allen Tenney, and Hon. Benjamin Gerrish, consecutively Secretaries of State. Mr. Tullock died in Washington after having long held important offices there; Mr. Gerrish died in Boston in 1885, after having been Consul at Nantes and Bordeaux, France; while Mr. Tenney is a successful lawyer at Norwich, Conn. Neither will they cease to remember their enthusiastic friend Hon. Peter Sanborn, the State Treasurer, nor his flights of rhetoric .- like that in his address to an out- going regiment. in the State House yard, when, pointing to the eagle perched on the colors, and the proud bird on the cupola, he exclaimed: "Boys! here are two eagles; bring 'em both back with you!" and his address in the old Representatives Hall, to another regiment on the "army worm." Col. Sanborn, having long ago retired from public life, survives on the paternal farm at Hampton, enjoying a vigorous and honored old age.


Elder John Hook, who sold "pies an' things" near the camp-ground, still survives, dispensing gospel truths and "Hook's Healing Balm" throughout the land, a devout, honest and excellent man.


Upon the reception of the proclamation of the President calling for 75. - 000 men for three months, it was determined to open recruiting offices, and call for volunteers, and a proclamation was issued to that effect on the 16th of April. Recruiting offices were opened at the principal towns-that for this county at Lancaster, April 16, in charge of the writer of this chapter. as aid to the Adjutant-General. Two days later he was ordered to turn this office over to a subordinate, and report at headquarters, Ira S. M. Gove being left in charge. Arrived at Concord, he was commissioned by Gov- ernor Goodwin, Assistant Adjutant-General of the state, and ordered to repair to Portsmouth, to prepare there for the reception of recruits to be organized into a second regiment. He held this position until the Second Regiment had left the state, and the troops at Fort Constitution had been nearly all discharged.


Having thus referred to the civic and military organizations, I now propose to give a brief resume of the operations of each command, and to publish as full a list of soldiers from Coos as can be procured from the sources before referred to :-


The First Infantry was raised for three months' service, and contained no men from this county. It was organized at Concord, received an ovation in New York on its way to Washington, and was stationed on the


164


HISTORY OF COOS COUNTY.


Upper Potomac during its period of enlistment. It was composed of the finest material, and was admirably officered and drilled. It was supplied, as was the Second and Third, with "claw-hammer" coats of heavy gray cloth, which were soon thrown aside for the easy blouse. Its field officers were Colonel, Mason W. Tappan, who afterwards declined the colonelcy of one of the later regiments; Lieut .- Col., Aaron F. Stevens, subse- quently Colonel of the Thirteenth, Brigadier-General and Member of Con- gress: and Major, Thomas J. Whipple, a veteran of the Mexican war, sub- sequently Colonel of the Fourth, and now, honored by the community wherein he resides, an eminent lawyer at Laconia. Col. Tappan, then Attorney-General of the state, died about the beginning of the present year, at his home in Bradford.


The Second Infantry .- The response to the call for three months' men far exceeding the limit of troops called for from the state, the Governor determined to order the surplus above the maximum of the 1st Regiment into camp at Portsmouth, pending a decision as to their disposal. Accord- ingly the Rope-walk, near the South mill pond, was utilized as a barrack, and the men came into camp. In May it was found that no more men for three months would be received, and the question of enlisting for three years was presented The great portion of the recruits accepted the new terms, those declining to extend their term of service being sent as a gar- rison to Fort Constitution, at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbor, from which they were discharged the ensuing summer.


Thomas P. Pierce, of Nashua, a veteran of the Mexican war, had been commissioned Colonel. Declining to serve for three years, he resigned, and Gilman Marston, of Exeter, was appointed Colonel; Frank S. Fiske, of Keene, Lieutenant-Colonel, and Josiah Stevens, Jr., of Concord, Major. Gen- eral Marston served through the war with distinction, was promoted as Brigadier-General, and is now, in his hale old age, an active and eminent lawyer at Exeter. Lieutenant-Colonel Fisk resigned after a year's service, and is now clerk of the U. S. district court, in Boston. Major Stevens subsequently resigned, and died at Manchester, about the time of the first veterans' reunion, which was held in that city in 1875.


On its way to the front, the regiment. in passing through Boston, re- ceived a magnificent welcome at the hands of the sons of New Hampshire resident in that city. It was reviewed by Governor Andrew from the State House, dined at Music Hall, and was paraded upon the common.


To give the record of this famous regiment would be to write the his- tory of the Army of the Potomac, in which it served through the war, re- enlisting at the expiration of its three years of duty. It was a nursery, from which came many accomplished officers for other regiments, it received and assimilated the 17th Regiment in 1863, and a great number of recruits, and during its entire service was conspicuous for bravery, soldierly


165

behavior, and untiring devotion to the cause. Its record was always right. and its well-earned fame is beyond praise. It was mustered out at City Point. Va., November 18, and paid off at Concord, November 26, 1865.

Ist Regiment, was its Colonel: John H. Jackson, of Portsmouth, a vet- eran of the Mexican war, now an inspector in the Boston custom house, Lieut .- Colonel: and John Bedel, of Bath, also a Mexican veteran, afterward brevetted Brigadier, who died in 1875, Major. There was no commis- sioned officer from this county, the men being recruited and going in without company organization.


The Third was first assigned to duty on the seaboard in the South, serving with distinction at Hilton Head, Charleston, Fernandina, Fla., and other strategic points. It joined the Army of the James and took part in the closing scenes before Richmond. Like the Second, it furnished many officers for later regiments, and received a large number of recruits. Its record was highly honorable; it was' engaged in desperate battles; did garrison and fortification duty; and in all respects won fairly the high reputation that has always been accorded to it. It was mustered out July 20, 1865.

The Fifth Infantry .- This command contained several Field, Staff and Line officers, an entire Co. (B) and many recruits from this county. It had a notable record for daring bravery, and was one of the conspicuous regiments of the Volunteer Service. This was largely due to the person- nel of its first commander, Col Edward Ephraim Cross, of Lancaster, who had shared largely in the adventurous life of the southwestern frontier. Leaving home at an early age, he had been a newspaper reporter at Cin- cinnati and Washington, and wagoned the first printing press across the plains to Tucson, in Arizona, where he established a paper. Engaged in warfare with the Apache and other tribes, he subsequently took service with the Republic of Mexico, until he came north to offer his services to his native state in the summer of 1861. His campaigning life, and famil- iarity with the ways of regular soldiery, gave him a position and influ- ence that added eclat to his recruiting and procured for his regiment from the outset, a reputation for dash and effective work.


The regiment went into camp at "Camp Jackson," at Concord, on the bluffs opposite the lower or Federal bridge, with Edward E. Cross as Colonel, Samuel G. Langley, late Adjutant of the Second, Lieut .- Colonel, and William W. Cook, of Boston, Major. Colonel Cross, after a most gal- lant and brilliant career, fell mortally wounded an Gettysburg, while com- manding the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Second Army corps, and was buried with impressive Masonic ceremonies from the homestead at Lancaster. A monument, erected by friends, commemorates his serv- ices, and marks the spot of his repose, while the local post of the Grand Army and the Relief Corps bear his name. Lient .- Col. Langley resigned after about a year of service, and died in Washington in 1868. Major Cook died since the close of the war.


As with the Second, so with the Fifth, the limits of a chapter would utterly fail to give its history. It furnished gallant officers for later regi-

ments, received many recruits and was always conspicuous for its bravery and heroic work. It was in the Peninsula, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia campaigns, and its Colonel made the proud boast to the writer, that at the disastrous charge at Fredericksburg, "his dead lay nearer the enemy's rifle pits, than those of any other regiment in the Army of the Potomac." While a veteran of the Fifth remains, its deeds of daring, its amateur engineering, its marches and its conflicts will be as fresh in their memories as the rollicking strains of "One Eyed Riley!" and their services will have the appreciation that follows honest endeavor. The regiment was mustered out July 8, 1865. The Surgeon of the Fifth was John W. Bucknam, of Lancaster, a devoted and excellent officer. Dr. Bucknam engaged in practice at Great Falls, with great success, and died there widely esteemed.
