PREFACE.
S OON after the close of the war, an association of the survivors. of the Fifth Regiment was formed for the purpose of maintaining, by reunions and other social means, that feeling of comradeship and friendship, which nat- urally arose in the regiment during three years and a half of service in the field. Not long after this association was formed, the suggestion was made that the history of the regi- ment should be written. The proposition met with such gen- eral favor, that a historian was appointed. The difficulty of collecting the requisite data from such sources of information as were accessible, and the exigencies of an active business life, caused successive delays.
It soon became apparent, that as time passed, the difficul- ties attending the preparation of such a history multiplied in a rapidly increasing ratio. Finally a Historical Commit- tee was proposed and appointed, and the members of the Regimental Association were appealed to for aid in collecting accounts of notable incidents and operations connected with the regiment, and also for substantial aid to have this infor- mation suitably compiled and published. From one cause or another this enterprise languished. A portion of a history

was prepared and submitted to the Committee, but the neces- sities of business soon compelled the writer to change his residence to a distant city, and he returned to the Committee the records and manuscripts in his possession. The commit- tee thereupon dissolved by mutual consent, and thus this plan came to an untimely end. Feeling that there would never be any more available sources of information than existed now, the custodian of the records, comrade John K. Burlingame, at considerable personal expense determined to assume the responsibility and make the best possible use of them that was in his power to do. To this end he secured suitable assistance and commenced work.
From day to day as the compilation progressed it was criti- cized and corrected. Comrades who were available, and even some living quite remote, were called in from time to time and their opinions asked, criticisms heeded and suggestions made use of. In this manner this work has been prepared. A strong feeling that it was best to preserve such records as were now in existence ; a sincere desire to see this much of our history placed at an early period and in accessible form before our comrades, whose number will never be greater than now ; and an honest purpose in every instance, to impartially tell the story that was to be told, has actuated all who have been interested in this labor.
One of the greatest misfortunes attending the preparation of this work has been the fact that so many of the members of the regiment have been so engrossed with other cares that they could not spare the time to write out sketches of the incidents that occurred within their personal knowledge, for use in this narrative. In this connection it is but simple jus-
PREFACE. vii
tice to state here, that the history now offered could not have been written but for the unselfish and gratuitous labor and continued assistance of our comrade, James Moran. We are also under great obligation to our comrades, Sylvester B. Hiscox, John Wright, Albert Potter, Christopher W. How- land, William H. Chenery, Dutee Johnson, Jr., William W. Douglas, James M. Wheaton, Benjamin L. Hall and others.
Realizing its many shortcomings, and claiming only the merit of good intentions, this work is cheerfully submitted with the most fraternal feeling to the surviving members and friends of the Fifth Regiment of Rhode Island Heavy Artillery. J. K. B.
At the twentieth Annual Reunion of the Fifth Rhode Island and Battery F Veteran Association, held at Silver Spring, on Friday, July 25, 1890, a Committee consisting of Comrades Colonel James Moran, Dr. Albert Potter, Joshua C. Drown, Jr., William H. Chenery, and Christopher W. Howland, was appointed to petition the General Assembly for an appropriation to assist the Committee to publish a history of the Fifth Rhode Island Heavy Artillery.
The resolution appointing them was unanimously adopted by the Association. In compliance with the vote of the Asso- ciation, the Committee presented their petition to the Gen- eral Assembly. Accompanying this petition was a resolution requesting that the sum of $600 be appropriated to purchase 200 copies of the history for the use of the State.

The Committee desire that the publication of this history shall stand as a monument to the memory of Comrade Bur- lingame, whose perseverance under all difficulties in its prep- aration alone made it a success, and if living he would rejoice with us in the full fruition of his arduous labors.

CHAPTER I.
ORGANIZATION-TO ANNAPOLIS, MD.
T HE first great battle of the War of the Rebellion in 1861 had ended in disaster to the army of the Union. The lesson was needed, for we had been over confident, and had entered the struggle without that practical knowledge which is absolutely essential in successfully moving and using large masses of men in the field and in great battles. The lesson was needed, in that a call for 500,000 more men from the loyal north was made. With what noble patriotism this call was responded to is a matter of common history and need not be dwelt upon here. Rhode Island had nearly filled her quota at the time this narrative commences. In the early au- tumn of this year it was urged upon the National executive that a strong sentiment of loyalty still existed in the State of North Caro- lina, and that it only needed the presence of a powerful Union force within her borders to cause a large portion of her people to return to their allegiance.
In pursuance of this opinion Brig .- Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside was empowered to raise a division of troops in the northern coast states. This force was to operate in North Carolina for the purpose of developing this supposed latent. loyal feeling. Rhode Island was called upon to furnish her proportion of this force. After a number of tentative efforts the State executive decided to raise a battalion in the manner prescribed in the following order :
STATE OF RHODE ISLAND, ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE, PROVIDENCE, Oct. 5, 1861.
General Order, No. 73.
General Order No. 65 is hereby countermanded and the following ubstituted:
Gen. A. E. Burnside having received authority from the Secretary of War to raise a division for Coast Service, to be commanded by him, and
2
HISTORY OF THE
denominated the Coast Division, attached to the Army of the Potomac, under command of General Mcclellan. it is the wish of the Commander- in-Chief to have one or more battalions of three or more companies raised from this State to be attached to the said division.
Captains who have served in the First Regiment and commanders of all military organizations in this State who are desirous of having com- panies in said battalions, may at once open their armories and places of rendezvous for the enlistment of men to serve for three years unless sooner discharged.
The organization of the companies will be as follows: One captain, one first lieutenant, one second lieutenant. one first sergeant, four sergeants. eight corporais, two musicians, one wagoner, and sixty-four private ..
As soon as the number enlisted amounts to eighty-three men. they will report to this department, when officers will be appointed and com- missioned by the Commander-in-Chief.
A bounty of fifteen dollars will be paid by the State to every non- commissioned officer, musician and private enlisting under this order.
Maj. Joseph P. Balch is detailed to superintend the organization. and will arrange all matters connected with the recruiting of the same.
It is the hope of the Commander-in-Chief that said battalions will be raised with that spirit and promptness which will redound to the credit and reputation of our gallant State.
By order of the Commander-in-Chief. EDWARD C. MAAURAN, Adjutant-General.
This is the official beginning of what was known as the First Bat- talion. Fifth Regiment Rhode Island Volunteers, and later in the war, as the Fifth Regiment Rhode Island Heavy Artillery. It is the history of this organization which will be related in the following pages as fully and as impartially as imperfect records and the lapse of more than a score of years will permit.
With the publication of this order began the labor attending the recruiting of so large a number of men by voluntary enlistment. The tide of wild enthusiasm which had swept over the whole north in the early spring- of this year was now near its ebb. A war, the magnitude and duration of which no man could forecast confronted the loyal people of the Union, and thoughtful men everywhere began to realize the vast sacrifices of life and treasure that must be made

.
to insure final success. At this time the efforts of the State execu- tive were largely directed to the filling up of the ranks of the Fourth Regiment, in order that it might march to the front at the earliest possible moment. It was natural, therefore, that for a time recruit- ing for the proposed new battalion should seem to languish.

. Camp Greene, a few miles out from Providence; on the Stonington Railroad. was designated as the State rendezvous, and as fast as meu were enlisted they were sent there. On the 28th of October. Major Balch, at his own request, was relieved from his duties with the battalion and Col. Christopher Blanding assigned to the super-

HISTORY OF THE
vision of the rendezvous. Here the first day of November found four companies in camp. Officers, themselves largely self-taught, were striving to teach tactics and enforce military discipline, often with but indifferent results, as none of them had yet been commis- sioned by the State. On the 7th of November, however, the new battalion was given a commander in the person of Maj. John Wright. He had been a captain in the Second Regiment, and came on from the Army of the Potomac to assume the duties of his new command. On the same day Rev. Me Walter B. Noyes was appointed chaplain. Under the zealous efforts of Major Wright the former doubt and un- certainty was soon succeeded by more thorough military order and discipline. About this time a full company from Woonsocket joined the battalion and its successful organization was assured.
The battalion was transferred from Camp Greene to the Dexter Training Ground, in Providence. on the 22d of November, and here, through the kindness and munifieence of the citizens of that city, Thanksgiving Day was observed in real New England fashion. "All had a right merry time," and enjoyed themselves on that day as only soldiers could who had so long been subject to the discipline of a camp of instruction. Up to this time the uncertainty attending the absence of commissions for the officers of the several companies, and which had been a source of great vexation to both officers and men. was removed by the appointment of officers for all the companies then organized. The general order making these appointments bore the date of Nov. 30. 1861. December 3d, Albert Potter was commis- sioned assistant-surgeon, with rank and pay to date from October 10th. The change of quarters and the official appointment of the officers inspired new zeal in all connected with the battalion. The ranks filled up rapidly, and men and officers began to present that soldierly appearance which only time and good discipline can give.
As the companies now contained the required number of men, on the 16th of December, 1861. they were formally mustered into the service of the United States by Captain Cutts, of the regular army. The roster was as follows :
John Wright. major, commanding : Charles H. Chapman, adju- tant : Monro H. Gholding, quartermaster : Albert Potter, assistant- surgeon ; MeWalter B. Noyes. chaplain : Joseph J. Hatlinger, ser-
