THE SIXTH REGIMENT.
In the composition of the Sixth the county of Franklin furnished sub- stantial aid, but not to so great an extent as in the Fifth. In Grand Isle county all the towns except South Hero were represented, although the aggregate was quite small. The regiment was recruited mainly in the middle and southern portions of the state, and within twelve days from the time the order was issued 900 men were recruited. There appears to have been no recruiting offices in either of the counties for this com- mand, but volunteers were constantly offering their services in various localities ; therefore, being in readiness, the enlisted men of Franklin and Grand Isle counties were accepted to complete the numerical strength of the regiment. The Sixth rendezvoused at Montpelier in "Camp Smith," so designated in honor of Hon. John Gregory Smith, of St. Albans. Here the organization of the regiment was perfected in the selection of Nathan Lord, formerly of the Fifth, for the colonelcy, and Asa P. Blunt as lieutenant colonel. The only original selection for the field and staff from this county was that of Rollin C. M. Woodward, of St. Albans, he being commissioned surgeon October 10, 1861, dis- charged for disability October 29, 1861. Elisha L. Barney, of Swanton, was commissioned captain company A, October 15, 1861 ; wounded September 14, 1862; promoted major October 15, 1862 ; lieutenant- colonel December 18, 1862; colonel, March 18, 1863 ; died May 10, 1864, of wounds. Alfred H. Keith, of Sheldon, commissioned second lieutenant company K, October 15, 1861 ; promoted first lieutenant De- cember 8, 1862; captain March 8, 1863; discharged September 4, 1864, for wounds. Thomas B. Kennedy, of Sheldon (now of St. Albans), en- listed private company K, October 8, 1861 ; promoted sergeant ; sec- ond lieutenant March 8, 1863; first lieutenant February II, 1864; cap- tain September 19, 1864; honorably discharged April 25, 1865, for wounds received in action at Cedar Creek, Va., October 19, 1864. George W. Burleson, of Franklin (now of St. Albans), enlisted private company K, September 30, 1861 ; promoted sergeant October 15, 1861 ; regimental quartermaster December 1, 1862; veteran December 15,

Lucius Green, of Highgate, first lieutenant company K, October 15, 1861; resigned December 26, 1862. Bradford S. Murphy, of Swanton, private company K, September 25, 1861 ; sergeant October 15, 1861; sergeant-major June 24, 1862 ; first lieutenant March 18, 1863 ; dis- missed the service October 8, 1863. Charles S. Shattuck, of Sheldon, enlisted private company K, July 16, 1862; sergeant July 13, 1863 ; promoted captain and commissioner of subsistence United States volun- teers February 21, 1865.
The Sixth Regiment was mustered into service on the 15th of Octo- ber, 1861. The original members who did not re-enlist were mustered out October 28, 1864, but the veterans and recruits were consolidated into six companies on October 16, 1864. The regiment was finally mus. tered out of service June 26, 1865. The Sixth rendezvoused in Camp Smith until the 19th of October, and then proceeded to the National Capitol, arriving there on the 21st, and going into camp on the "Hill " on the next day. On the 24th the regiment marched twelve miles to Camp Griffin and joined the Vermont brigade, with the fortunes of which it was afterwards identified. The battles of the Sixth were the same as those in which the Fifth were engaged.

HISTORY OF FRANKLIN AND GRAND ISLE COUNTIES.
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth regiments of state troops constituted the "Vermont Brigade," under command of General W. T. H. Brooks, "and have participated in some of the severest fighting on the Peninsula, and during the recent campaign in Maryland. It is a matter of state pride that no braver troops are to be found than those from Vermont."
It was somewhat against the policy of the government to brigade to- gether any considerable number of regiments from one state, but never- theless the secretary of war consented to such an organization at the sug- gestion of General William F. Smith, in the fall of 1861. The Vermont regiments were associated together in close proximity all during the con- flicts and campaign of the summer and early fall of 1861, but the brigade proper was not organized until about the time of arrival at the front of the Sixth Regiment, which arrival made a sufficient strength of troops from the state to organize the brigade for active and efficient military services. Previous to the commencement of brigade operations the reg- iments that comprised the command were in constant service, doing guard and picket duty, ever encamped in the vicinity of the enemy, or reconnoitering his positions, but it was not until the campaign of 1862 was determined that the brigade was actively engaged.
On the 16th of April, 1862, the brigade participated in the engage- ment at Lee's Mills, in which it won the commendation of its command- ing officers. Again on the 5th of May, at Williamsburg, the brigade rendered efficient service. The Third crossed the dam on Fish Creek and became actively engaged. On the next day the brigade supported Hancock's brigade, but was not actively engaged. In the succeeding operations about Golding's Farm, Savage Station, and White Oak Swamp from January 26th to the 30th the brigade participated ; at the first named a part of the Fifth and the Sixth became engaged in sup- port of the Fourth, which was under a heavy fire. The men will remem- ber leaving Savage Station on the 29th for the purpose of marching to James River, the order to return and repel an attack, and the warm time that followed for the Second, Third and Sixth. General Brooks said of their behavior, that " the conduct of the troops in this action was generally very commendable." Proceeding to the James River country the brigade next participated in the battle at Crampton's Gap on the 14th, and Antietam on the 17th of September ; at the latter place be-

ing under fire for forty-eight hours. Next came Fredericksburg on the 13th of December, the brigade being then commanded by Colonel Whiting of the Second. The losses here amounted to twenty-six killed and 141 wounded, ten of the killed being men of the Fifth.
The campaign of 1863, so far as concerned the First Brigade, opened with the affair at Mary's Heights on the 3d of May, followed by that at Salem Heights on the 4th. These engagements were followed by the battle at Fredericksburg on June 5th. At Mary's Heights the brigade lost thirteen killed and 109 wounded, and at Salem Heights sixteen killed and 123 wounded. On the 5th of June the brigade crossed the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg, assaulted and carried the enemy's works, taking a number of prisoners. Then commenced the march northward to intercept the Confederate army under Lee, who was invading Pennsylvania. The brigade reached Gettysburg, but took no active part in the battle, the honors of that occasion having fallen upon their brethren of the Second Brigade of Vermonters. At the Funkstown battle on July 10th the First Brigade rendered efficient service, holding a skirmish line without support for three hours, and op- posed during the time by a much larger force. Following these events the brigade was ordered to New York city to assist in enforcing the drafts of that year. Returning to Virginia in the fall they were sta- tioned near Culpepper. From the Ist of October until early November the brigade was kept constantly on the move from one point to another, and occasionally having a "brush" with the enemy until the 7th of No- vember at Rappahannock Station, where the men were under a heavy artillery fire, but did not themselves become actively engaged. Subse- quently, after various movements, the brigade went into camp at Brandy Station, remaining there till late in February, 1864, when a week's rec- onnoissance to Orange Court-House was made. After this the troops remained in camp till May.
The operations for the year 1864 opened with the battles and move- ments at the Wilderness, lasting from the 5th to the 10th of May, in all of which the First Brigade had an active part, their daily positions being such as to bring them in almost constant conflict with the enemy for two days. Their hardest fighting was done on the 5th and 6th, during which time the brigade losses in killed and wounded amounted to 1,232

men, forty-five being killed. On the 7th the brigade started for Chan- cellorsville, arriving on the 8th, when a part of the command were en- gaged. Then followed the scenes at and about Spottsylvania, covering the period of a week, from May 10th to 18th. During this time the brig- ade, either as a whole or in part, was constantly changing position, and therefore almost as constantly in conflict with the rebels, and the total loss in killed, wounded and missing was 1,650 men, more than half its entire strength. On the 15th of May the arrival of the Eleventh Ver- mont Regiment considerably augmented the strength of the brigade, but the character of the re-enforcing command had previously been by special order changed from infantry to heavy artillery. After Spottsyl- vania the brigade was kept on the move almost without intermission, marching to Guinness's Station ; thence to Harris's Store; to North Anna River ; to Little River, where the railroad was destroyed; thence to Chesterfield Station; thence across Pamunky River, above Hanover Town; and thence toward Hanover C. H., where two days' rest was granted. From here on the 29th they marched to a new position on Tolopotomy River, where they remained two days more.
The series of engagements at Cold Harbor commenced June Ist, and continued until the 12th. In them the brigade was frequently engaged, and met with serious losses. From the 3d to the I Ith the brigade held the front line at two important points, and on the 12th moved back to a new position in the rear, but on the 13th marched for Petersburg, where a battle occurred on the 18th. From June to August the brigade with the Sixth Corps, to which it belonged, performed a variety of move- ments in the region of the Weldon Railroad at Washington and other points, and on the 2 Ist of August was at Charlestown battle; on the 13th of September at Opequan; on the 19th at Winchester ; on the 2Ist and 22d at Fisher's Hill ; and on the 19th of October at Cedar Creek. For the year 1865 the brigade participated in the operations at and near Petersburg, being engaged on the 25th and 27th of March, and on the 2d of April.
THE SEVENTH REGIMENT.
Notwithstanding the fact that six regiments of troops from this state had been mustered into the United States service by the 20th of Octo-
179

ber, 1861, yet the state was two regiments short of the quota required of her. That these regiments might be raised, Governor Holbrook in his message communicated the facts to the Legislature with the result of an act authorizing the raising of two more three years' regiments, one of which was to serve with the command then being organized by Gen- eral Butler, and designed to operate in the extreme South, and the other "to serve in the army of the United States until the expiration of three years from the Ist day of June, 1861." Under this latter provision the Seventh was organized, but was not formally mustered into service until the 12th of February, 1862.
To the strength of the Seventh every town except Berkshire in Frank- lin county, and every town except Isle La Motte in Grand Isle county, contributed. Company F of the regiment was known as a Swanton company, although in it were a number of men from other towns. In the organization of the regiment George T. Roberts of Rutland was ap- pointed colonel, and Volney S. Fullam of Ludlow lieutanant-colonel ; and notwithstanding the fact that Franklin and Grand Isle counties together furnished nearly 200 men for the Seventh, neither county was recognized in the personnel of the field and staff, as at first estab- lished. Edgar N. Bullard, of Swanton, was commissioned first lieuten- ant company F, January 8, 1862; promoted captain August 28, 1862 ; major September 1, 1865, being retained in service one month beyond muster-out as recruiting officer. Loring D. Brooks, of Swanton, was commissioned captain company F, January 9, 1862; killed in action near Vicksburg, Miss., July 23, 1862. Dexter B. Town, of North Hero, enlisted as private company F, December 11, 1861 ; promoted sergeant, first sergeant, veteran February 16, 1864; first lieutenant, company F, May 23, 1865 ; captain October 27, 1865; mustered out March 14, 1866. Rodney C. Gates, of Franklin, commissioned second lieutenant company F, January 9, 1862; first lieutenant August 28, 1862; resigned May II, 1863. Nathan L. Skinner, of St. Albans, en- listed private company F, January 8, 1862; promoted corporal, ser- geant, veteran February 7, 1864; promoted first lieutenant October 27, 1865 ; mustered out March 14, 1866. Henry G. Stearns, of Swanton, enlisted private company F, November 22, 1861 ; promoted first ser- geant February 12, 1862; second lieutenant August 28, 1862; resigned

January 27, 1863. Edgar T. Burns, of Highgate, enlisted private com- pany F, December 11, 1861; promoted corporal; veteran February 16, 1864; sergeant November 12, 1864; first sergeant February II, 1866; second lieutenant March 1, 1866 ; mustered out March 14, 1866.
The service of the Seventh was performed in a field far remote from the other Vermont men, who comprised the First and Second Brigades; and although the Seventh had not as many battles standing to its credit as had some of the earlier regiments, it is quite doubtful whether any single regiment in service from the state suffered more of hardships and privations than the Seventh, for what was not accomplished by the bullet was more than made up by the ravages of disease that fell upon the men in the extreme southern region. The Seventh left the state of Vermont 943 strong, and lost by death from all causes 406 men. There were discharged for disability 241 men, and deserted 100 men. The aggregate strength of the regiment during its entire term of service was 1,57I men, of whom were lost from all causes 806 men. The battles placed to the credit of the Seventh Regiment were as follows : Siege of Vicksburg, June and July, 1862; Baton Rouge, August 5, 1862; Gon- zales Station, July 15, 1864; Mobile campaign and Spanish Fort, March 17 to April 11, 1865 ; Whistler, April 13, 1865.

THE EIGHTH REGIMENT.
The Eighth Regiment was recruited during the same time that the Seventh was in the same process, the local company, company F, being
182

raised mainly through the efforts of Hiram E. Perkins, of St. Albans, who also was the recruiting officer and likewise the chosen captain of the company. The regiment, however, was principally raised in the cen- tral and southern portions of the state. Captain Perkins was commis- sioned on January 3, 1862, and was discharged for promotion to a com- mand in the U. S. Colored Troops on May 31, 1863. Daniel S. Foster, of St. Albans, was commissioned first lieutenant company F, January 3, 1862, and promoted captain April 9, 1862. Carter H. Nason, of St. Albans, commissioned second lieutenant January 3, 1862; dismissed the service June 2, 1863. Franklin H. Carpenter, of St. Albans, enlisted private November 25, 1861 ; promoted corporal, veteran January 5, 1864; wounded October 19, 1864; promoted second lieutenant Decem- ber 8, 1863; mustered out June 28, 1865.
The field service of the Eighth was much like that of the Seventh, ex- cept that more engagements stand to their credit; and the men likewise suffered as did those of the Seventh, from climate affections and diseases induced by life in the unhealthy regions of the extreme south. The ag- gregate of strength of the Eighth, from all sources, during its term of service, was 1,772 men, of whom the regiment lost as follows: Killed in action, 71; died of wounds, 33; died of disease, 213; died in rebel prisons, 28. Total loss by death, 345. Besides these 224 men were discharged for disability. Official list of engagements: Occupation of New Orleans, May, 1862; Boutte Station and Bayou Des Allemands, September 4, 1862; Steamer Cotton, January 14, 1863; Bisland, April 12, 1863; Port Hudson, assault, May 27, 1863; Port Hudson, night engage- ment, June 10, 1863 ; Port Hudson, assault, June 14, 1863 ; Opequan, September 19, 1864; Fisher's Hill, September 21-22, 1864; Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864; Newtown, November 12, 1864.
