HISTORY OF HILLSBOROUGH.
SIXTH REGIMENT VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized at Keene in November, 1861, and camped on Cheshire Fair Grounds, "Camp Brooks." Left Keene December 25, to reach Washington, D. C., January 6, 1862. The Sixth had a severe experience throughout its campaigning. At Bull Run on the afternoon of July 29 the First Brigade, to which it belonged, was ordered to attack the enemy posted in the woods. The Sixth with the Second Maryland on its right, made a gallant attack. But the Forty-Eighth Pennsylvania, on its right, failed to hold its position, which left the Sixth exposed to a murderous fire on its flank. The regiment was then compelled to fall back, but not until it had lost in killed, wounded or missing almost every second man of the 450 who went into the battle. During its term of service the Sixth served in seventeen different states, and its record added a brilliant chapter to the history of New Hampshire in the Civil War.
Its widely scattered battlefields of over a score in number, in- cluded Bull Run, Va., Aug. 29, 30, 1862 ; Antietam, Md., Septem- ber 17, 1862; Fredericksburg, Va., December 13, 1862; Siege of Vicksburg, Miss., June 14 to July 4, 1863 ; Wilderness, Va., May 6, 1864; Spottsylvania, Va., May 8 to 20, 1864; Siege of Peters- burg, Va., June 16, 1864, to April 3, 1865.

SEVENTH REGIMENT VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
The Seventh Regiment was raised and organized under con- ditions different from that of any other regiment. Credited to New Hampshire, and filled with New Hampshire men, all of the appointments were by order of the War Department at Washing- ton, D. C., under date of September 2, 1861. The command was given to Joseph C. Abbott, who was and had been for some time Adj. General of the State. The state authorities were merely asked to pay the ten dollars bounty it had been paying other regiments, which it did. General Abbott waived his claim to the colonelcy on the condition that a West Point man be ap- pointed, and Haldiman S. Putnam, considered to be the most ac- complished soldier commissioned from New Hampshire, was given the command. The regiment camped for a month in Man- chester, on the Fair Grounds, which is said to have inspired Walter Kittredge to write his immortal "Tenting on the Old Camp-Ground." Leaving Manchester on January 14, 1862, the regiment proceeded to New York, where it stayed a month, and then went on to the front. In some respects this regiment was favored, but on the whole performed its share. Three hundred and twenty men and twenty-two officers returned, but of these less than a hundred were among those who had left the state in '61. Of the original field and staff only one remained.
The regiment is indelibly associated with the sieges and assaults at Morris Island and Fort Wagner. It was at Dreury's Bluff, Va., May 13-16, 1864; fought at Bermuda Hundred May 18, 20, 21, June 2-4, 18, 1864; at the Siege of Petersburg, Va., August 24 to September 28, 1864, and in many other engagements.

EIGHTH REGIMENT VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
The Eighth as well as the Seventh Regiment seemed to have been a favorite organization for the boys of Hillsborough, though if they had anticipated at the outset that almost the whole of its term of service was to be passed in an extreme southern state, making it exceedingly trying to a northern man, it might have been different. Enlistments began early in the month of Septem- ber, 1861, and on the 9th of December its quota was full. It went into "Camp Currier," Manchester, and on January 25, 1862, it was transferred to Fort Independence, Boston Harbor. This regiment destined for the "Butler Expedition," was sent south, and on March 18, 1862, after a very stormy voyage, the last of the regiment reached Ship Island in Mississipi Sound. On April 9 the regiment, with fourteen thousand troops was passing in review before General B. F. Butler commanding. Its action throughout the war was important, and it was not mustered out of service until at the expiration of three years, ten months, and nineteen days.
The most noteworthy of its battles and engagements were at Port Hudson, La., March 14, 1863; Siege of Port Hudson March 23 to July 9, 1863; Sabine Cross Roads, La., April 8, 1864; Monett's Ferry, La., April 23, 1863; Alexandria, La., April 26, 1863; and last at Yellow Bayou, La., May 18, 1864.

NINTH AND TENTH REGIMENTS.
NINTH REGIMENT VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
"The record of the Ninth New Hampshire," says its his- torian, Sergt. George L. Wakefield, "is one of arduous campaigns, followed by comparative rest. It suffered in battle at Antietam and Fredericksburg, and in the mud at Falmouth; was cheered by the comforts of Newport News, and feasted in Kentucky ; had its ranks depleted by disease in Mississipi, and returning to the Blue Grass region, recuperated for the hazardous march over the mountains of East Tennessee. At Annapolis it welcomed recruits and convalescents, in preparation for the bloody ordeals of Spottsylvania. the Mine and Poplar Springs Church, and for the wearisome waiting before Petersburg." Only four volunteers and one substitute joined this regiment from Hillsborough.

Note .- Hillsborough furnished 17 men in the Eleventh Regiment, and not one a substitute. The seriousness of the campaigning of this regiment is shown by the fact that only five men came through with- out wounds or disease. Eight were discharged for disability; one died of disease, and three were killed.

HISTORY OF HILLSBOROUGH.
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
Hillsborough had no men in the Twelfth Regiment and only three in the Thirteenth, and all of these substitutes. In the summer of 1862 the war was on in earnest, and everywhere the recruiting officers were busy. Between September 1I and 15, of that year the men comprising this sturdy body of troops went into camp just out of Concord at "Camp Colby." These were three years' men, and saw their share of hardship and fighting. They were at Fredericksburg, Dreury's Bluff, Bermuda Hundred, Cold Harbor, siege of Petersburg, at Fair Oaks, and its colors were the first to enter Richmond.
