The winter was a severe and uncomfortable one, spent at Falmouth and Newport News. March 13 it was sent to Suffolk, and shared in its defense against the siege of General Longstreet. May 3 it gained itself compliments for gallantry in the bayonet charge upon the enemy's intrenchments at Providence Church road. The summer, fall and winter were mainly spent in the vicinity of Ports- mouth, upon guard and picket duty and the construction of fortifications with occasional details upon short expeditions. In March, 1864, the greater part of the regiment were permitted to go home to vote.
Later in April the regiment was, with the Tenth New Hampshire, assigned to the Second brigade, First division, Eighteenth army corps, army of the James. It shared with the Tenth, and with like credit, the trying service and repeated engagements incident to the summer, including the charge June I at Cold Harbor, where Colonel Stevens was wounded, and the early morning charge all along the line June 3, in which the federal army lost 10,000 men within twenty minutes. Later in the day, Lieut. George H. Taggard was severely wounded, while the division was massed, waiting orders to again storm the enemy's works.
The valor of the regiment was specially conspicuous in front of Petersburg June 15, being deployed as skirmishers in advance of the whole division, when, late in the afternoon, with less than two hundred men, it charged the enemy's rifle pits, capturing about a hundred prisoners ; then, under Colonel Stevens' direction, while suffering a galling fire, dashed forward again on Battery Five, car- rying it and capturing several field guns, two rebel battle flags and over a hundred men. Its own loss was forty-six killed and wounded. For conspicuous ability and gallantry in this affair, Colonel Stevens was recommended for promotion by his immediate superiors.
In the storming and subsequent defence of Fort Harrison, its conduct was superb. The assault by bayonet alone, with muskets not capped, across a mile of open ground, under a galling fire and terrible losses, was steady and determined, ending with a hand-to-hand struggle as the parapet was reached and carried. Its color guard of six men were all killed or wounded, and its total loss, includ- ing that in defense of the next day, was eighty-one out of a total strength engaged of one hundred and eighty-seven muskets. Colonel Stevens fell, severely wounded, while at the head of the regi- ment, within a few yards of the works.
The regiment receives special mention for its part in the final entry into Richmond on April 3, 1865, when the city fell under the master movements of General Grant, now rapidly culminating. Lieut. Royal B. Prescott, who was in command of the skirmish line, led the first troops into the city early that morning. The Thirteenth was the leading regiment to enter, and its colors the first of the

union army to be floated in triumph in that city. Other troops quickly followed, and all immediately set to work putting out the fires that had been set, restoring order and guarding property. Ten days later it moved to Camp Lee, two miles north of the city. In May it was ordered across the river to Manchester, where it remained until it was mustered out. June 22 it embarked with the Tenth and Twelfth regiments for home, arriving in Nashua June 26, where a splendid reception was given it. General Stevens was presented by his officers with a sword, sash and belt befitting his rank, and the brigade tendered him a review on Main street, which was equally gratifying to the many citizens and friends who witnessed it.
The following day similar receptions were given to the brigade at Manchester and Concord, and on July I all were paid off and discharged. The Thirteenth had on its rolls but three hundred and twenty-one out of an aggregate of one thousand two hundred and eighty-five who had seen active ser- vice. Its regimental historian states that " no one of its officers deserted, was reprimanded, cashiered or dismissed the service; and it maintained by its acts that character for efficiency, patriotism, intelli- gence, bravery and trustworthiness which made it surely one of the American nation's most prominent historic regiments."
FOURTEENTH TO EIGHTEENTH REGIMENTS.
The Fourteenth, the last of the three years' regiments raised in New Hampshire, and the Fif- teenth, the first of the nine months' regiments, had but few Nashua men among them, as had the Six- teenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth. The service of all was exceedingly creditable wherever they were called to serve.
NEW HAMPSHIRE BATTALION, FIRST REGIMENT, NEW ENGLAND VOLUNTEER CAVALRY.
In the autumn of 1861 each of the New England states, excepting Rhode Island and New Hampshire, raised a regiment of cavalry. The four companies organized in New Hampshire were formed into a battalion and assigned, with the two battalions raised in Rhode Island, to a regiment known first as the First New England cavalry, but later as the First Rhode Island cavalry.
Company M of the New Hampshire battalion was raised by Capt. William P. Ainsworth of Nashua, and nearly all the Nashua men in the battalion were in his company. His recruiting office was in Franklin hall. Joseph F. Andrews was first lieutenant. James B. Greeley was assistant surgeon of the regiment.
In January, 1862, the battalion joined the regiment at Pawtucket, R. I., and in March joined the cavalry brigade under General Stoneman at Washington.
We shall not attempt to outline the particulars of its service. At Front Royal it had its first engagement, and gained high credit for most brilliant action, capturing more men than it numbered, but suffering the loss of the brave and accomplished Captain Ainsworth.
At Middleburg it demonstrated its courage when, surrounded by a force twenty times as strong, it fought its way out of a position found untenable, but with terrible losses.
The regiment is credited with having fired the first shot and received the first artillery fire in each of the four great battles of General Pope's campaign, viz: Cedar Mountain, Groveton, Second Bull Run and Chantilly.
Its list of engagements, together with a perusal of the individual records of its members, showing casualties by capture, disability, wounds or death, will make clear the character of the service rendered. Add to this the hardships incident and peculiar to cavalry service from raids, picketing and scouting by night and by day, and it is readily seen that comparisons with the infantry service are exceedingly favorable.
FIRST REGIMENT, NEW HAMPSHIRE VOLUNTEER CAVALRY.
In January, 1864, the New Hampshire battalion was detached from the First Rhode Island cav- alry and was ordered to New Hampshire as the nucleus of a New Hampshire regiment of cavalry, most of the men having re-enlisted. The four veteran companies, I, K, L and M, were quickly filled, together with three new companies, A, B and C, and were sent to the front, reaching Washington
333
HISTORY OF NASHUA, N. H.
April 25 and joining the army of the Potomac in May. The remaining five companies, under Major Joseph F. Andrews, followed in July, doing detached service, however, apart from the regiment, until the following March.
The service of the seven companies was quite as severe as had been that of the veteran battalion. Its record of twenty-seven engagements within ten months after its return to the seat of war, shows the field of its operations and attests the faithfulness with which it met every demand upon it. The severity of the service rendered is evidenced by the record showing that over fifty-five per cent. of the Nashua men in it were killed, wounded, captured or discharged for disability.
The names of Nashua men are found in nearly every other organization sent from New Hamp- shire, as well as in those of other states, the regular army and navy. They served in light and heavy artillery, in that most trying of services, the sharpshooters, in organizations raised for home or sea- coast defense, and in every other line of duty incident to the saving of the nation. Besides those mentioned in appended detailed list, she furnished others in honorable capacities. Dr. Norman J. Moore and Dr. J. C. Garland served long and faithfully in their professions, under contract with the surgeon-general. Nashua gave to New Hampshire its most distinguished soldier in the regular ser- vice, Gen. John G. Foster, in whose record she takes a just pride. She gave to the navy Capt. James S. Thornton, of long and honorable career, who is remembered with special satisfaction as executive officer of the "Kearsage" when she sunk the "Alabama." The record of her sons, wherever found, is alike creditable to the city and themselves, and we sincerely regret that the limits of space prevent the detailed mention which is manifestly their due. Biographical sketches of many of them are specially delegated to another's pen, else those of her leading soldiers would find respectful mention in this chapter.
The joy with which the news was received April 9, 1865, that Lee had surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, and that the war was over, can hardly be described. Word was first received in Nashua by a telegram from the Boston Journal to Elbridge J. Copp, who was home from the war on account of his wounds, and temporarily in charge of the newspaper business of his brother, Charles D. Copp, located at the corner of Main and Water streets. He immediately got out a small cannon, loaded it to the muzzle, and fired it repeatedly on Main street, shouting : "Lee has surrendered, Lee has sur rendered !" It was hailed by the booming of cannon, the ringing of bells and the display of flags and bunting and other joyful expressions, in which all joined. That for which the whole North had been struggling and striving was at last accomplished.
Illustrating the outlay made by the city to encourage enlistments, it is interesting to note that it paid in bounties during the Rebellion the sum of $147,322, besides which there was paid individually, by subscription and by sixty-five men who were drafted and procured substitutes, the sum of $52,067. The city also provided aid for the families of soldiers, passing, among others, an ordinance Sept. 16, 1861, appropriating $5,000 from which to pay the wives of volunteers $1 per week and $1 for each child under sixteen years of age, not exceeding, however, $12 per month to each family. Mayor George Bowers and Aldermen Clark C. Boutwell and C. V. Dearborn were made a committee to dis- burse the money.
Nashua's record in the Civil War would be incomplete if it failed to mention the aid systematic- ally given to her soldiers in the field by various organizations at home. The local branch of the Sanitary commission enlisted the interest and efforts of the ladies and school children in preparing lint, bandages and other hospital supplies to be regularly sent to the front. A box for the reception of hospital stores was located at the house of its president, Mrs. John A. Baldwin, I Amory square. Its meetings were held in the vestry of the Olive street church. The daily papers published its notices gratuitously, and Morrill & Co.'s express forwarded its contributions to the soldiers free of charge. A knitting circle of about one hundred and fifty members held weekly meetings for making socks, gloves and mittens for the soldiers. The ladies busily plied the needles, while the gentlemen contributed yarn or money. In February, 1863, a "Young Ladies' Soldiers' Aid society " was formed of which Miss Mary A. Baldwin was secretary and treasurer, and Misses Lucy F. Thayer, Laura M. Bowers, Lucy J. Beard, Atelia Slader, Julia A. Gilman and Mary Crombie were directors. And in various other ways did those at home strive to hold up the hands of those who were at the front.

HISTORY OF NASHUA, N. H.
A very considerable amount of seven and three-tenths per cent. government bonds were placed among our citizens, largely through the instrumentality of Jeremiah W. White, even when many questioned the nation's ability to redeem them. Several of our manufacturing industries were engaged upon government work. The Nashua Manufacturing company had several large contracts during the war for hand-sewed cotton-flannel drawers for the soldiers, and employed hundreds of hands out- side to assist in making them. Holt & Jones had government contracts for soldiers' blouses, making as many as one thousand per week. The Nashua Iron and Steel company turned out many tons of boiler plate for armor for iron-clads, including some parts of the Monitor. The Underhill Edge Tool company was largely engaged in the manufacture of sabres for the cavalry service. Luther A. Roby furnished the navy yard at Charlestown large quantities of oak ship-timber for government gun-boats and men-of-war. Several other Nashua industries also were interested, either directly or indirectly, in supplying various government needs.
The appended personal record list contains the names of one thousand, three hundred and forty- eight different men, natives or residents of the city, or credited to her otherwise. Their record is magnificent. They stood the test of heroes. In the words of another: "They marched with Sher- man, they charged with Sheridan, they conquered with Thomas, they fought it out on his own line with Grant." They went forth with a single great purpose; to save the fatherland. Every son who battled for his country's honor deserves more credit than a people in the enjoyment of peace know how to give him. We are too forgetful of his worth. We fail to remember the offering he made that the nation might live. None fought for his own fireside, his town or city. None fell in battle on the soil of his own state. But hundreds of graves from the Chesapeake to the Gulf witness to what they did for other firesides, other states and the nation, "all for love and nothing for reward." All honor then, to them all, and a loving remembrance always.
