About This Book

A regimental company memoir recounts the formation, enlistment, and service of volunteer soldiers raised largely from a college community committed to abolitionist and Christian principles. It traces motivations for enlistment, early organization and departure, marches, engagements, sieges, and camp hardships, and includes an accurate roll call and biographical records drawn from diaries, journals, and official returns. The narrative situates the men's motivations in local moral and educational culture, emphasizes fidelity to factual detail over ornamentation, and preserves dates, movements, and casualty and service records for future reference.
