Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered at Second Re-Union K Association: 25th Massachusetts Volunteers, at Worcester, Mass;, Sept; 26, 1870 Worcester county were drawn by the magnet of patriotism into the ranks of Company K. In addition to the sons of our own county, three young men from Hatfield, in Hampshire county, and one from Chester, Conn., enlisted with us and rendered valuable service to our company and the country. In the movements of a great army, the company organization is almost overshadowed by the more widely proclaimed deeds of brigades, divisions, and army corps; still we cherish a deep attachment for the company organization, because its little history is full of the deeds of brave men, with whom for the time we are intimately associated; and I fear not to say, that as an organization and individually, our beloved Company K can show a record of which no man who was ever connected with it need feel ashamed. Match, if you can, the coolness of the company when it moved forward from the line of battle at Roanoke Island, under the special and imperative order of Gen. Reno, or went into the woods as skirmishers near "Deep Gully," or stood the onslaught of the enemy at Drewry´s Bluff, refusing to run, and so shot down like dogs, or captured. Match, if you can, by deeds of generals or the leaders of regiments and companies, the undaunted heroism of little Johnny Lewis, who, grasping the colors of the 25th, bore them forward under a most scathing fire, at Cold Harbor, until shot down, pierced by bullets, he refused to surrender the sacred colors until death released his grasp. To-day the blood of that hero of Company K consecrates the colors of the 25th regiment. Ah! there was a time - the days following a battle - when scores of hearts ached to learn news from the company. When the newspapers contained columns of names of the dead and wounded, many a wife, mother, sister, father, and brother ran their eyes anxiously adown the lines, until they rested upon the little square telling the story of death and wounds for Company K.
