[Gutenberg 49014] • Reminiscences of the Nineteenth Massachusetts Regiment

Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Nineteenth Massachusetts Regiment

For thirty-four years I have waited patiently for some one to Write a history of the 19th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, but fearing that it may never be accomplished, I have concluded to send out this story. I do not dignify it by calling it a history. It is simply a soldier's story, told by one of the boys. Most of it is written from memory. The account of prison life is taken from an imperfect diary, kept by the writer while a prisoner of war.
