PREFACE. 
 
 Comrades of the Fourth Infantry and First Artillery : 
 
 In presenting to you this Roster, the first that has ever been 
 gotten up of this Regiment, I feel proud that I have met with 
 such success in procuring so many names and Post Office ad- 
 dresses, and other information which I think will be of interest to 
 every member of the old ist Ct. V. H. Artillery. 
 
 Having been one of its original members from April, 1861, 
 when we enlisted for three months in response to a call of April 
 15, 1 86 1, by the President of the United States, for 75,000 men, 
 and going with you from then until the time of discharge, October 
 I St, 1865, and being disabled by exposure and hardships which 
 we were all subject to during those days, and not able to work for 
 the past three years, I have spent the greater part of my time, 
 when able, trying to do something for this regiment. I worked 
 faithfully to bring about a reunion on the nth of June last, and it 
 was a success ; and since that time I have labored diligently for 
 the Roster, having procured all the names of this regiment known 
 in the pension department, and added over six hundred to those 
 already there. It has necessitated the writing of many letters 
 and the expenditure of much time, as well as money and anxiety, 
 but as I have already said I feel proud of it, and hope it may 
 meet the approval of all the members of the regiment, and that 
 the Roster will continue as long as there are any members left of 
 this regiment. 
 
 I remain one of the old Fourth Infantry as well as the First 
 Artillery. 
 
 Yours, in F. C. and L., 
 
 E. B. BENNETT, 
 
 East Berlin, Conn.

[ii^torical ^^^etch of the I^ejinjent. 
 
 In order to give a detailed account of the 4th Infantry Regi- 
 ment of Connecticut, it will be necessary to commence at the 
 foundation. It appears by official reports that on the 9th of 
 November i860, an attempt was made to seize the arms at Fort 
 Moultrie, and from that time forth, all sorts of war preparations 
 were carried on by the C. S. Army, until on April 12, 1861, at 
 four o'clock A. M., Fort Moultrie opened fire on Fort Sumter, which 
 continued until noon of the 13th. Then a flag of truce was sent 
 to Major Anderson in command of Fort Sumter, requesting him 
 to evacuate the Fort with his men, numbering in all told. The 
 terms were that the garrison should take all its individual and 
 company property and should march out with their side arms in 
 their own way and at their own time, but that they should salute 
 their flag and take it with them. 
 
 While saluting the flag, Daniel Hough, private. Battalion E, 
 I St U. S. Artillery, was killed by the premature explosion of a 
 cannon. He was the first soldier killed in the war, and was 
 buried on the 15 th of April, by order of General Beauregard with 
 all the honors of war. Major Anderson and his men sailed on 
 the 14th for New York. 
 
 April 15, 1 86 1. This, comrades is a memorial day for the 
 4th Ct. Infantry. President Lincoln issued a proclamation com- 
 manding all persons in arms against the Government to disperse 
 within twenty days, and also called for 75,000 three months' 
 troops, and we of the 4th responded to this call. The regiment 
 had completed its number when, on the 3d day of May, 1861, 
 the President did not want any more three months' men and called 
 for 300,000 three year volunteers. Upon this order we were dis- 
 banded, but this much we ventured, to brave the storm come

 what would, so what there was, or nearly all, put their names 
 down in the books for three years in place of three months, and 
 to-day, reader, they still remain and are recorded for generations 
 after us to guard and protect, and we have every reason to feel 
 proud of the record we gained and shall leave behind us for ages. 
 And we are also proud to think that we were the first regiment 
 to offer ourselves to his excellency, Wm. A, Buckingham, as ready 
 and willing to be turned over into the hands of the United States 
 for any service she might require of us. 
 
 We were the first three years' regiment to offer our services 
 to protect the old flag, which floats so triumphantly over us to- 
 day, respected by all nations of the earth. 
 
 On the 23d of May, 1861, we were mustered into the 
 United States service for three years, or during the war, and as 
 the three months' troops had all departed for the field, we were 
 patiently awaiting our turn. We were sent into camp on the 
 north meadows to await orders and drill preparatory to meeting 
 the enemy, and thus the time passed until the morning of June 
 loth, at which time we made all preparations for our departure. 
 Our camp was tentless by nine o'clock, and camp Mansfield was 
 no more for us. It was nearly noon before we were ready, or at 
 least before others were ready for us, but at last we were got into 
 position ready to be escorted to the boats. The escort consisted 
 of the first company Governor's Horse Guards, the Putnam 
 Phalanx, and the City Guards, Company B. 
 
 Comrades, it is not really necessary for me to tell you that 
 this loth of June was one of those hot, hotter, hottest days' seem- 
 ingly, that we had ever been able to meet with in our own little 
 State ; but we were made up of the best material, the men of this 
 regiment coming from all parts of the State ; I do not beheve but 
 every town in the State was represented. We finally reached the 
 State House square, nearly melted, where we waited, for what 
 seemed hours, in the boiling sun while speeches were being made, 
 which not one-tenth of us could hear. 
 
 The regimental standard was presented to Colonel Wood- 
 house by Lieutenant Governor Douglas, and the National Flag by 
 
OF THE REGIMENT.

 H. L. ]\Iiller, Esq., in behalf of the ladies of the Putnam Phalanx. 
 When this was over we took up our line of march, and succeeded 
 in getting safely embarked, about four o'clock P. M., on board the 
 steamboats ''CTranite State" and the "City of Hartford". The 
 cit}' was crowded with people who had assembled to witness our 
 departure, and the buildings along our line of march, and the 
 steamboats were all highly decorated with flags and bunting. A 
 dense crowd of people had gathered at the docks and on boats, 
 as well as along the banks of the river to see us depart. Then 
 there was music and firing of cannons and tremendous cheering 
 and waving of hats and handkerchiefs on all sides as we steamed 
 down the river. Other cannons were fired and new crowds 
 greeted us all along the way, until we were too tired to recognize 
 them any longer and darkness closed them from view. 
 
 The morning of the nth found us in Jersey City, where or- 
 ders were received, assigning us to General Patterson's command, 
 and directing us to report to him immediately. But it was 
 impossible to get transportation, and so we spent the day in and 
 around the depot at Jersey City, and a tiresome day it was too, 
 most of us being strangers in the place, or rather the city being 
 strange to most of us ; and beside, we were under military disci- 
 pline. But at last, about half past five o'clock, P. M., a train of 
 twenty- eight cars was backed in, it was reported that they were 
 ready to transport us. We were soon aboard and set out for 
 Philadelphia, reaching that city in the small hours of the morning 
 Wednesday, and proceeding across the city, took the cars for 
 Harrisburg. There were no passenger coaches to be had, and at 
 daylight Wednesday morning we found ourselves packed away in 
 box cars, headed for Harrisburg, the capital city of Pennsylvania. 
 
 We reached our destination, if my memory serves me cor- 
 rectly, about noon, or a little after, and after switching around 
 over the trestle works for a while, were once more under way, 
 this time headed for Chambersburg, which we reached in the 
 night. We had orders to remain at this place for a short time, 
 and that night we slept in a clover field under the starlight of 
 Heaven, — Camp McClure.

 HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 It was here, comrades, we found the first hard bread the 
 writer had ever seen, and hke many of the boys I filled my haver- 
 sack fall, for I was nearly starved ; but feeling the need of a wash 
 we searched about until we found some water, a generous use of 
 which refreshed us very much after our long and dusty ride 
 through the coal regions. But the hard bread must not be for- 
 gotten ; before the day was spent we had learned that the crackers 
 were better adapted for wagon wheels than for eating purposes, 
 and we tried to educate ourselves as to their make-up. Some of 
 the boys concluded that they had been made a long time, from 
 the fact of their being marked "B. C." The ist Wisconsin regi- 
 ment were also encamped here, and among them we found many 
 warm friends, who, like ourselves, were ready for any amusement ; 
 so we commenced making young wagons, using the crackers for 
 wheels, as we had a goodly supply. We had them for breakfast, 
 and for dinner, and for change of diet, had them for supper ; in 
 fact crackers were used for all purposes, and when we had our 
 wagons completed, we tried to trade them off among the Wis- 
 consin boys for something different to eat. 
 
 June 17th, at twelve o'clock M., we took the cars for Hagers- 
 town, arriving at Camp Negley about four o'clock P. M., going 
 into camp again with our friends of the ist Wisconsin, and look- 
 ing forward to a good time on the morrow. But, alas ! at mid- 
 night the long roll was beaten, and we were hurried ofi" for Wil- 
 liamsport about six miles distant. When we reached that place 
 the Johnnies had disappeared, and we had to content ourselves 
 during that day to lie about on the ground in the scorching sun 
 trying to eat our hard crackers, which we had brought along. In 
 the evening we returned to camp again, at Hagerstown, and thus 
 ended our first forced march. 
 
 On the 4th of July, five companies of the left wing, under 
 command of Major Birge, were sent to Williamsport ; the right 
 wing remaining at Camp Negley until the 6th when it moved for- 
 ward to the fair grounds just below the arsenal on the Williams- 
 port road, where they remained until the r6th of August. Mean- 
 while the left wing in Wilhamsport were having a good time

 drilling and doing guard duty under Captain Kellogg, who was 
 very fond of having the long roll beat, to see how quickly he 
 could get us into line. Here we made the acquaintance of the 
 "Pie Girls", who used to come into camp every day selling pies 
 and cakes and getting acquainted with the boys, cheering them 
 up and making it seem quite home-like. 
 
 August 9th the left wing had orders to march to Frederick 
 City, and when on the 17th the right wing joined us here, we 
 were comfortably encamped on the grounds belonging to the old 
 Barracks. But as these grounds were intended to be used as a 
 hospital, we necessarily had to move into a new camping ground, 
 which we did on the 21st of August, going into a beautiful grove 
 called White Oak Springs, or Camp Kennedy, which was a 
 splendid place as most of the 4th will remember. It was while 
 in this camp that the boys began to think that there was no use 
 in having a doctor along if they couldn't be sick. 
 
 We remained at Camp Kennedy for two weeks. About this 
 time we began to feel the need of new clothing, as our old ones 
 were badly worn. There were scarcely two men in the regiment 
 who wore clothes alike, and we were all running short of money, so 
 that the prospect looked a little discouraging. It was reported at 
 one time that we were to be slicked up and sent to Washington 
 to be the body guard of General Scott ; and at another, that the 
 regiment was to be mustered out and sent home ; but neither re- 
 port contained any truth as was soon proved. 
 
 On September 6th, Colonel Woodhouse returned from Wash- 
 ington with orders to report to General Banks, so at nine o'clock 
 on the morning of the 7th, the regiment got under way, and 
 taking the road which leads around under Sugar Loaf Mountain 
 we reached its base, where we spent the night, and the next 
 morning before five o'clock we were climbing the mountain, 
 and then moved on towards Barnsville until we came near 
 Banks' headquarters. Here we camped in a small grove and 
 on the m.orning of the 9th, just before we reported to General 
 Banks, Colonel Woodhouse turned the command over to Lieu- 
 tenant Colonel White, and we then went into Camp Lyons, 
 
12 
 
 HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 where we found ourselves with 25,000 others of Banks' division. 
 Here we met our brother regiment, the old 5 th, then under 
 Colonel Ferry, with maay of whom we had become very intimate 
 while organizing in Hartford ; for they as well as the 4th had re- 
 sponded to the first call. All went merrily for about two weeks 
 or a little over, when an event occurred which was of great import- 
 ance to us all. 
 
 It took place on the 26th of September, and the event was 
 the arrival of Colonel Tyler. Play was played out for us, and we 
 had to get down to business pretty lively. This marks the begin- 
 ning of a new era in the history of our army life. Comrades, do 
 you remember him ? He found the regiment an uneducated and 
 undisciplined lot of men, and it was a task to make soldiers out 
 of us, but how well he succeeded the appearance of the regiment 
 soon testified. He brought our standard up to the highest, and 
 that could not be beat. He at once commenced a system of in- 
 spection which brought every man in the regiment under his 
 personal observation, and we thought he was a devil on wheels, 
 for he had his fingers into everything. He was always at guard 
 mounting, and would visit the guards in person, inspect their 
 guns, and ask what we thought very fooHsh questions. I shall 
 never forget his first inspection when he told us our guns were 
 filthy, and that, too, after we had taken great pains to clean them 
 up for this special occasion. 
 
 Thus he continued his discipline until all the arms and ac- 
 coutrements were in splendid condition, and looked even better 
 than when they left the manufacturer's hands, and he kept up this 
 order of neatness and behavior until our regiment attained a 
 degree of excellence which could not be surpassed. 
 
 The regiment was transferred to General McClellan, Wednes- 
 day, October 2d. At eleven o'clock, tents were struck and the 
 regiment took up its line of march for Washington. It rained all 
 that day, which of course made the travelling very bad, the roads 
 being muddy, sticky and slippery. We marched about eight 
 miles, going into camp near Rockville. At seven o'clock the 
 next morning we were under way again, and marching about nine

 miles further, camped at Tennellytown and waited there until we 
 should receive new uniforms and accoutrements. These were 
 given us on Sunday the 6th, and on the following morning the 
 men were directed to throw away all remnants of their previous 
 dress, take a bath in the brook, and get into their new clothes 
 preparatory to marching into Washington. 
 
 This was a change in good earnest, for you will all, doubtless, 
 remember what a strong hold the enemy had upon us at that 
 time. We were literally surrounded by the gray backs, and it 
 
 was decided as the best means of thoroughly vanquishing the 
 enemy to burn them. So placing them in piles they were burned, 
 the enemy howling piteously meanwhile ; but there was no show 
 for them at our hands ; we had raised the black flag against gray 
 backs of every description, and Colonel Tyler was commanding. 
 
 On the yth we started once more. Our march to Washing- 
 ton, that is the remainder of it, was a very pleasant one. Camp 
 after camp were passed along the route up through Georgetown ; 
 and finally entering Washington we passed up New York Avenue 
 to the open ground northeast of the capitol, where we went into 
 camp ; probably 50,000 or more having camped at the same place 
 previous to our arrival. 
 
 Our first night here was one long to be remembered. The 
 flood gates of Heaven seemed to open. Not only did the rain 
 descend in torrents, but large hail stones as well, making, as the 
 boys used to say, "Merry H — 1" for a while. The wind blew a 
 regular gale and it required all hands to keep the tents from blow- 
 ing away. Morning came at last, and though the wind still con- 
 tinued to blow, the sun soon brightened things up, and the few 
 days we stayed at Washington passed very pleasantly. 
 
 October 9th we break camp once more, and cross the long 
 bridge into Virginia, leaving Washington behind us for a time.

 HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 For my own part, I felt about like one of those recruits, who 
 remarked that he should be glad when he got back into America 
 again. Soon after crossing the long bridge which we did in 
 broken step, we passed Fort Albany, and taking the road to Alex- 
 andria, halted just north of Fort Richardson and made camp 
 partly on a side hill and partly in the valley, which was known as 
 Camp Ingalls. The next morning found us drilling with pick and 
 shovel, grubbing up the stumps at Fort Richardson where the 
 engineers were at work ; while a regiment of Michiganers, to- 
 gether with companies from several other camps in the locality, 
 were employed in clearing the grounds here and at Fort Scott. 
 But we soon relieved the other companies and had things all to 
 ourselves. The work of clearing the grounds around Fort Rich- 
 ardson continued until we had been over fully ten acres of what 
 had been Virginia forest, but when our work was completed the 
 ground was as smooth as a hall floor, and then the company 
 streets were laid out and arranged very much after the manner of 
 a well laid out flower garden. While at Camp Ingalls we learned 
 to make the camp fire, and to lay beside it through the night 
 roasting one side and freezing the other, for the weather was now 
 beginning to grow quite cool. 
 
 Tuesday morning October 27th, orders were issued to have 
 everything packed at fatigue call and ready to march ; so we 
 moved farther up on to the hill, and here we made one of the 
 finest camps for beauty and comfort that was probably ever seen 
 during the war. The situation could not have been surpassed, 
 the ground sloping to the east and giving a fine view of the Po- 
 tomac river and Alexandria ; while from the summit of the hill we 
 had a splendid view of Washington, Georgetown and the sur- 
 rounding country. To the west of us were Blenker's German 
 Brigade, and in fact on every cleared spot as far as the eye could 
 reach, were forts and camp-fields. 
 
 We enjoyed our camp fire and when not engaged with our 
 numerous duties, lounged about it telling stories and singing songs 
 of the loved ones at home ; nevertheless we were kept under strict 
 discipline and soon made the acquaintance of the sling carts, the

 Statuary and spread eagle, the pick and shovel, the stump pulling 
 and the guard house, and our company officers felt the stern dis- 
 cipline as well as the men. The writer was on guard one night, 
 and being a non-commissioned officer was directed by order of 
 Colonel Tyler to go into company — and take certain men to the 
 guard house and have them ride the wooden horse every alternate 
 two hours through the ni^ht. This was accordingly done, and in 
 the morning Colonel Tyler appeared at the guard house and 
 walking up to the first of the three, inquired, "What are you on 
 here for, sir?" "Don't know," was the reply. "All right;" the 
 Colonel replied, and stepping along to the next man repeated his 
 question, and received the same reply as from the first. Arriving 
 at the third man he repeated "What are you here for, sir?" 
 "Getting drunk," was the quick reply. "Humph ! will you get 
 drunk again if I let you off," asked the Colonel. ''Yes I will, by 
 G — d, before night, if I get a chance." "Humph ! D — n good 
 man," said the Colonel. "Sergeant, send this man to his com- 
 pany ; keep these others here till they can tell the truth. I'll 
 teach them not to lie to me !" 
 
 The Colonel was very attentive to the sick, and insisted upon 
 their being well taken care of; but woe to the man who pre- 
 tended to be sick. 
 
 October 30th we drew our new uniforms and then com- 
 menced our reviews. On the 31st we received our State bounty, 
 through the hands of Colonel Irish. On the 12th of November 
 Major Birge was appointed Colonel of the 13th Connecticut 
 Volunteers. All this time we were drilling and reviewing, and 
 getting into excellent training order, and toward the last of De- 
 cember we had a dress parade before Governor Buckingham. 
 
 January 2, 1862, by special orders from the War Depart- 
 ment, the regiment changed its name and became the " First 
 Connecticut Volunteer Heavy Artillery," consisting of twelve 
 companies, of 150 men each. On the nth our camp was photo- 
 graphed by Brady, of Washington. March 7th we were reviewed 
 by Mrs. Gen'l McClellan and party; and on the 15th we were 
 recruited up, and two more companies added to the regiment

 (L and M). This made work for the older men, as they had to 
 do most of the drilUng of the new ones. On the i yth we were 
 reviewed by His Excellency, Governor Buckingham. 
 
 April 3d, at 3 o'clock a. m., reveille was beaten, and we ate 
 breakfast by starlight. At six o'clock the tents were struck and 
 all unnecessary baggage turned over to the Quartermaster, or left 
 with the 14th Massachusetts, who relieved us, and we were on 
 the march for Alexandria. We embarked on the steamers Knick- 
 erbocker and Mystic, which were lying at anchor in the stream, 
 and proceeded down the river, greatly enjoying the sights along 
 the shore as we passed Mount Vernon, Fort Washington, and the 
 deserted rebel batteries. 
 
 On the following morning we found ourselves nearly abreast 
 of Fortress Monroe, among a forest of shipping craft, with the 
 Monitor, which had been in that section only a short time, lying 
 at a little distance from us, and of course we all wanted to get a 
 glimpse of her, for she was quite a curiosity. It was only five 
 days before this that the Confederate ironclad Merrimac, attacked 
 the Union fleet at Hampton Roads, destroying the Cumberland 
 and Congress, and damaging several other vessels, finally attack- 
 ing this old cheese-box, the Monitor. After three hours hard fight- 
 ing, the Merrimac was towed back to Sewell's Point, disabled 
 and beaten, and did not again renew the conflict, for the Moni- 
 tor had proven itself an invincible foe, and one to be much 
 dreaded. 
 
 In due time we disembarked and spent the greater part of 
 that day around the shore, watching the unloading of cavalry 
 horses from the vessels and looking at the numerous guns stand- 
 ing on the beach. Late in the afternoon we marched out toward 
 Hampton and went into camp, and in the meantime our guns 
 were being loaded on to the barges. 
 
 On the 6th, while on inspection, orders came to make 
 another move ; this time for Yorktown. Monday morning, the 
 7th, about five o'clock, we boarded the steamer John A. Warner, 
 and proceeded up the Chesapeake, having barges in tow which 
 contained our baggage. We remained on the steamer several

 days, but on the morning of the nth we steamed up to Chees- 
 man's Landing and commenced the work of the siege of York- 
 town, and by the end of the month the batteries were nearly 
 completed. It was called the heaviest siege ever laid in the 
 world, our heaviest guns being 13-inch sea coast mortars, weigh- 
 ing 17,120 pounds, and throwing a shell weighing nearly 400 
 pounds, and 16,570 pound Parrot guns, throwing 200 pound 
 shells. 
 
 The siege train of our regiment contained seventy-one pieces, 
 consisting of two 200, and five 100 pound Parrot guns ; five 4^- 
 inch guns; five 30 pound Parrot's; ten 13-inch sea service mor- 
 tars ; six 10 inch sea service mortars ; ten lo-inch siege mortars ; 
 five 4% -inch rifled guns ; four 20 pound Parrot's ; four 10 pound 
 Whitworth ; three 8- inch Howitzer's, which were left in the Park; 
 and two 8-inch, five lo-inch, and five 8-inch siege mortars. For 
 this service, there was transported, for use in these guns, 17,047 
 projectiles, weighing 85 7,41 7 pounds. This does not include pow- 
 der and small stores which it was necessary to have with us. To 
 transport this amount of ammunition it required 726 wagon loads. 
 
 On the 4th of May the Johnnies skipped, and were well un- 
 der way toward Richmond before their departure was known. 
 
 May 19th we were called into actual service as infantry; 
 shelter tents were issued to every man, and we marched to York- 
 town, and boarding the transports Robert Morris and New 
 Haven, arrived at the White House Landing about seven o'clock 
 P. M. of the 20th. The next day we were supplied with new 
 rifles of the Springfield pattern of 1861, and we felt better. 
 
 Thursday morning the 2 2d, we were on the march again, 
 and kept it up all day, and the following day reached Old Church. 
 The 24th, Colonel Tyler was directed to move toward Hanover 
 Court House to ascertain the strength of the enemy. On Tues- 
 day the 27th, the battle of Hanover Court House took place, the 
 I St Connecticut, the 5 th and 13th New York regiments, and 
 Griffin's Battery staying on the field that night. We were occu- 
 pied the 28th with burying our dead and reconnoitering, and the 
 following day returned to Old Church. On the 30th we marched 
 
i8 
 
 HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 from Old Church to Coal Harbor, and on Sunday, June ist, 
 joined the headquarters of the division and began again with our 
 picks and shovels and picket duty. June 2d General McClellan 
 ordered a detachment to be made from our regiment to supply 
 deficiencies in the regular batteries, and 189 men were detailed 
 for this purpose, returning to the regiment after the close of the 
 campaign. 
 
 The 25th of June we were driven back into the Chicka- 
 hominy and around to Fair Oaks, and pushed on to Malvern Hill 
 July I St; and from there to Harrison's Landing through the mud. 
 So ended our peninsular campaign and we returned to the forts 
 in front of Washington, with the exception of two companies 
 which were kept at the front with the army of the Rappahannock 
 and participated in the bombardment of Fredericksburg. 
 
 One day after we had been at the forts some time, an old 
 citizen from near fort Barnard came to Colonel Tyler, stating that 
 the Colonel's men were stealing his peaches. "They are?" says 
 the Colonel, ''I don't allow my men to steal sir, if you catch any 
 of them at it bring them to me and I will punish them sir." The 
 farmer succeeded one day in catching three men from one of our 
 companies, and brought them to the (Jolonel saying : ''Here are 
 some of your men who have just been over stealing my peaches." 
 "My men are they," asks the Colonel, and then turning to the 
 parties caught, demands, "What regiment do you belong to sir?" 
 "To Co. — of the ist Massachusetts, sir," was the reply. "There, 
 you see, sir, these are not my men," says the Colonel, and turn- 
 ing to the men again, " You sirs, go to your regiment and don't 
 let me catch you around my camp again." "Now, sir," to the 
 farmer, "you can go home, I told you my men would not steal, 
 sir, I do not allow it." 
 
 September 5th, the confederates crossed the Potomac into 
 Maryland and on the 14th the battle of South Mountain took 
 place. On the 15th, Harpers Ferry was surrendered to them 
 with all its garrison, consisting of 8,000 men, and on the i8th 
 they re-crossed the Potomac. 
 
 On November 19th, Colonel Tyler was promoted to a Gen-

 eral. On December nth some of our boys took part in the 
 bombardment of Fredericksburg, under Burnside, but the Union 
 forces were defeated with great loss of Hfe. 
 
 On January 19th, 1863, Capt. Henry L. Abbot of the regular 
 army became our Colonel ; and on the 28th, General Burnside 
 was relieved of the command of the army of the Potomac and 
 Fighting Joe Hooker took his place, with his long legged boots 
 and short legged breeches were a source of much amusement 
 among the men. 
 
 May 3d, 1863, another attempt was made to capture Fred- 
 ericksburg, but it did not succeed. On the loth of this month 
 Stonewall Jackson died at Richmond, Virginia. On the 28th, at 
 his own request, General Hooker was reheved of his command of 
 the army of the Potomac and General Meade succeeded him. 
 The following day an immense train, consisting of 600 wagons, 
 3,000 horses and mules, 1,500 head of cattle, and 6,000 negroes 
 arrived within General Banks' lines. 
 
 June 9th Fort Lyons was blown up, killing 20 men and 
 wounding 14. A Richmond paper dated June i8th stated that 
 General Lee intended spending the 4th of July in Baltimore, 
 Maryland. 
 
 July I St, Generals Meade and Lee met in a terrible battle 
 near Gettysburg, and after three days' constant fighting Lee was 
 forced to retreat, leaving 5,000 killed and wounded and losing 
 20,000 prisoners. On the 4th of July, U. S. Grant made Vicks- 
 burg a lively little place ; celebrating the glorious 4th by captur- 
 ing 27,000 prisoners, 132 cannon and 50,000 stand of arms. 
 
 About this time there began to be talk about the need of 
 veterans to help Grant, and every inducement was offered for re- 
 enlistments, on the ground that the veterans were worth far more 
 than new men. The greater part of the old ist volunteered to 
 see the war through to the end, but there was not much fighting 
 done until the following spring. 
 
 About the 7th of May, 1864, it began to be nmiored that we 
 were to serve another large siege train, and on the loth the com- 
 panies from all the surrounding forts began to gather at Fort Rich-

 HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 ardson. At noon we set off on the march for Alexandria where 
 we remained over night at Camp White. There we took steamers 
 and landing at Bermuda Hundred were immediately put into the 
 lines which Butler had just left in his advance to Richmond. On 
 the i6th the army of the James fell back, and when they found 
 their old lines, guns, etc., in possession of the ist Connecticut 
 Volunteer Heavy Artillery they began to feel safe and we thought 
 they had good reason to. Let us for a moment look back into 
 those old lines ; along the north side of the James river ; at 
 Butler's Dutch Gap Canal ; at the Crows' Nest in front of Fort 
 Darling near Butler's Lookout ; and then in front of Petersburg ; 
 our lines extending about eighteen miles. Think of the tons of 
 iron and the number of cannons and mortars used. It was re- 
 ported that we had on this Campaign over 125 cannons and 
 mortars, and it would astonish even ourselves to figure up the 
 am_ount of ammunition used. It would, I think, run into the 
 thousands of tons ; and think of the number of times the ist Artil- 
 lery sent their compliments into the Johnnie's lines, and at their 
 boats, without stopping to rap or even ask permission. 
 
 From the day the army of the James fell back to the en- 
 trenchments and the ist Connecticut Artillery were placed in 
 charge of their siege guns, until the arrival of the army of the 
 Potomac, about a month, a heavy artillery fire prevailed along 
 the Une, the regiment firing 25 tons, or 1,971 rounds. 
 
 The first siege operations culminated in the battle of Peters- 
 burg mine, July 30th, 1864. On the 31st the great mine explo- 
 sion occurred, when six tons of powder were exploded directly 
 under the confederate forts near Petersburg. In this siege eighty- 
 one guns and mortars were served by the ist Connecticut Artillery 
 and the 4th New York Artillery, and about seventy-five tons of 
 ammunition, or 3,833 rounds, were fired during the battle ; and 
 225 tons, or 12,229 rounds in the preliminary work. This battle 
 was probably the first in which spherical case shot was used from 
 mortars. The novel expedient of putting thirty 12 lb. cannister 
 shot under the bursting charge of a lo-inch shell, proved very 
 effective.

 Immediately after the battle a projected movement of the 
 army of the Potomac necessitated the moving of 52 heavy guns 
 and mortars, with all their ammunitions, etc., with urgent haste 
 from the front of the 5th, 9th and i8th corps, to headquarters, a 
 distance of eight miles. This was accomplished in twenty-seven 
 hours, twenty-two light artillery and mule teams, and one hundred 
 and seventy wagons being employed. The aggregate weight 
 moved was 225 tons, and the work was done by the companies 
 that had served the guns in the action. The enemy did not dis- 
 cover the movement, which began at midnight of July 30th. The 
 siege now took the form of bombardment, the average weight of 
 metal thrown daily was, August 15th, 2 tons; September 7th, 8 
 tons ; October 4th, 5 tons ; November 2d, 7 tons ; December 
 2d, I ton; January ist, 6 tons; and February ist i ton; aggre- 
 gating 793 tons, or 37,264 rounds. 
 
 Around Petersburg, sudden artillery battles occurred at all 
 hours of the day and night, often involving the entire line to 
 check an annoying enfilade fire from the left bank of the Appo- 
 mattox. A 13-inch sea coast mortar was mounted on a reinforced 
 platform car and served on a cun^e of the railroad track. This 
 novelty was widely known as the Petersburg express. During 
 these operations the siege train was organized as a separate bri- 
 gade under Colonel Abbott ; such additional troops as were 
 needed being temporarily attached. The aggregate number at 
 times exceeded 3,500 men; the train contained 127 guns, 73 
 mortars, and the line of batteries was 17 miles long. Over 1,200 
 tons of ammunition, or 63,940 rounds, hauled an average distance 
 of seven miles by wagon, were fired during the siege. 
 
 We remained in front of Petersburg for eleven months, and 
 were under fire continually. On March 25 th 1865, General Gor- 
 don came over with three thousand men, and it is reported that 
 he went back with less than one thousand, but he succeeded in 
 capturing about 700 Union prisoners, thirty-six of whom belonged 
 to the ist Connecticut Artillery, the writer being among that 
 number. Petersburg was a disagreeably lively little place for us 
 on that morning, for we were purposely placed in a position that 
 
22 
 
 HISTORICAL SKEICH 
 
 exposed us to the fire of our own regiment, and consequently 
 that position was anything but desirable. 
 
 April 2d an attack was made on our works, and one hun- 
 dred men from our regiment accompanied the expedition, equipped 
 with guns, lanyards, friction primers, etc., for use in case the 
 charge was successful. The enemy were driven from the works 
 and the captured guns turned upon them with considerable dam- 
 age. On the 3d their lines were completely evacuated, Lee's 
 army retreating to Appomattox Court House, where he surrend- 
 ered to General Grant on April 9th; and the ist Artillery went 
 to dismounting the deserted confederate guns, a task which was 
 not completed until after the ist of July. 
 
 On the 13th of July we were transferred to the defences at 
 Washington, and there continued to practice with the artillery 
 until all danger was past. 
 
 On May 9th, President Johnson issued a Peace Proclamation, 
 declaring the war at an end, but we continued to drill until the 
 25th of September, when we were mustered out and returned home 
 to Hartford where we went into camp. On the ist day of Octo- 
 ber, 1865, we were discharged from the employ of Uncle Sam, 
 after four years and four months service, during one year of which 
 time, from May, 1864, until April, 1865, we were under a contin- 
 uous fire all of the time. 
 
 In closing I would remind my readers that we were volun- 
 teers in this service, and were willing and anxious to do all in our 
 power to protect the old flag, come what would ; and in the 
 duties faithfully performed, as well as by the results accomplished, 
 T think we proved our abilty to do so.
