Co. G of the Second Regiment, ninety-eight officers and men, had a number of its best men from this county, and was mustered at Concord, December 10, 1861. It performed the duties entrusted to it with devotion and unflagging zeal. Not exempt from casualties, its record of dead and wounded was equal to that of the most daring. In every respect these men were most credible soldiers and admirable representatives of the staunchest element of the county. The state was not represented in the Field of the original organization, but later, the Field officers from New Hampshire in this command were: Major E. T. Rowell, of Co. F, and Major Amos B. Jones of Co. E. George A. Marden, since Speaker of the Massachusetts House, and on the regimental staff, was a Sergeant in Co. G. Major Rowell and Major Marden both reside in Lowell. The Sharp- shooters served in the Virginia campaigns, and were at Antietam, Freder- icksburg. Gettysburg, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, and in the Valley. The original men were mustered out in December, 1864, and those of the three companies remaining were consolidated and made Co. K. of the Fifth Infantry.

The First Cavalry .- There was but one Cavalry regiment proper from the state and that was organized for three years, somewhat late in the war. As stated, the Eighth Infantry, then in Louisiana, was for a time mounted, and known as the Second N. H. Cavalry, but its service was more particularly as Infantry.


Early in the war a battalion of four companies of New Hampshire men was raised and incorporated with the First Rhode Island Cavalry. It was found that the union of companies from different states in one regiment was not altogether desirable, and this battalion was made the nucleus of the First Cavalry. This regiment and battalion served in Virginia and Maryland and was first united in March, 1865. It left the state December 22, 1861, was made a regiment January 7, 1864, and mustered out July 21,

1865. It was composed of good material and did excellent service. The heaviest wholesale desertion of the war was of several hundred " bounty jumping" recruits, who had been mustered to fill the regiment, and who broke away at Giesborough Point, below Washington, in the autumn of 1863, to the relief of the good soldiers left, who were in no way responsible for the presence or absence of these " scallawags." There were but few Coos men in the Cavalry. Its original officers were: David B. Nelson, Major of Battalion. Regimental, John L. Thompson, Colonel; Ben T. Hutchins, Lieutenant-Colonel; Arnold Wyman, J. F. Andrews and John A. Cummings, Majors.

The only further record attainable of those residents of Coos at the time of the war, or of those present residents who during the war served in organizations outside the state, is found in the individual names reported in the several Grand Army rosters.


It was my intention to publish a complete list of resident veterans, whether G. A. R. men or not, who thus served, but upon strict trial I can find no data from which to compile it.


Statistics .- From carefully compiled tables, in reports of the Adjutant- General, it appears that during the war the entire number of commissions issued was 2,362, while the entire number of officers who received them was 1,601. The total number of enlisted men was 31,426. The number " killed or died of wounds " was 1,538. "Died of disease 2,541." Mustered out at expiration of service 11,264.


An analysis of all statistics made in that office leads it to the conclu- sion that. leaving out men transferred and twice enumerated, New Hamp- shire sent 30,000 different men into the field. Careful estimates lead to the belief that of this number Coos county furnished 1,200 men. The entire muster of 30,000 is thus accounted for, by the same authority :-


Killed or died of wounds


5 per cent. 66


Died of disease


15 66


Honorably discharged for disability


Deserted 16


Transferred to Invalid Corps, Army and Navy


3


66


Promoted to commissioned officers 2


Not officially accounted for 2


Absent when regiment was mustered out. 3 66


66 Re-enlisted . 5


Mustered out at the expiration of term 37 66


Otherwise unaccounted for 1 6.


66


Total 100.


The percentage of "desertions" from Coos is much less than these figures, while the casualties and muster out are correspondingly greater.
