Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of Deceased Officers of the Fourteenth Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers The Fourteenth Connecticut Regiment was mustered into service August 23, 1862. Participating in twenty-six general engagements and the long siege of Richmond, it was mustered out, May 31, 1865. During these two years and nine months there were killed in action 132; died of wounds, 65; died of disease, 169; missing, 6; discharged prior to muster out, (nearly all for disability contracted in the service.) 416. This makes a total of 788 casualties in a regiment that left the State with 1,015 men, which number was subsequently increased by recruits to 1,726. Of commissioned officers the regiment lost twenty during and six since the war, all but one of whom owe their deaths directly or indirectly to the service. In the following pages brief memorial sketches of these officers will be found. Could it have been, I would gladly have printed here a sketch of the dead of rank and file also, but no record has been kept, and it is now impossible. But the figures given above tell their story more eloquently than I could have done. No record of commissions issued, no personal mention in official reports, no detailed biographies preserve their memories, yet the highest of earthly honor is theirs, in that they gave up homes and loved ones, not for glory, not for personal advancement, but for Freedom and for Fatherland. In compiling these sketches, I have been struck with the extreme youth of most of our officers. The oldest at death was Lieut. Emery who died at forty-four, though but thirty-five when he enlisted. Capt. Willard who enlisted and died at thirty-nine, was the oldest at muster-in. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
