FOREWORD 
 
 Hanovee, N. H., June 30, 1907. 
 
 To THE Alumni and Friends of Dartmouth College: 
 
 A WORK of this kind needs neither preface nor introduction. A 
 word of announcement, however, is appropriate in recognition of the 
 voluntary and valuable work performed by those who have thus made 
 the result possible. This is best stated in the report received by the 
 Trustees from the representative of the estate of the late Major 
 Hodgkins, who writes as follows : 
 
 " In settling the estate of the late Maj. Wm. H. Hodgkins, Dart- 
 mouth hon. '97, among his papers was found ' The Military Record 
 of the Sons of Dartmouth in the Union Army and Navy from 1861 
 to 1865.' His family tell me ' this work was begun and compiled 
 by Maj. E. D. Eedington, late additional pay-master U. S. Army, a 
 graduate of the class of '61 of Dartmouth and for many years a 
 Trustee of the College,' and has since been revised and corrected by 
 Major Hodgkins, well known as a military historian. 
 
 " The work apparently started in 1881 while the late Professor Pol- 
 lens was librarian of the College. Through circulars addressed to the 
 Alumni he obtained facts concerning the military services of Alumni, 
 which he desired to incorporate into a ' Eoll of Honor.' This work 
 was supplemented in 1883, when a committee of five was appointed 
 by the general Alumni Association to prepare war sketches of Alumni 
 to be printed in the Dartmouth. Major Eedington was a member, 
 and for many years has been the only survivor, of that committee, 
 and in 1894 by resolution passed at Commencement, his work was 
 endorsed by the Association. Major Eedington's work subsequently 
 came into the hands of Major Hodgkins, and was by the latter 
 systematically arranged; dates, rank, and details in each case being 
 corrected and verified to 1901, and the whole edited with care, pre- 
 paratory to being presented to the press. 
 
 " In addition to the work of Major Eedington and Major Hodg- 
 kins, recognition is due to John j\L Comstock, statistical secretary. 
 Prof. M. D. Bisbee, librarian, to the various class secretaries, to the 
 living Alumni, and to the relatives of those who have died, for the 
 information furnished. 
 
 " It has been a pleasure to me to take up the work where Major 
 Hodgkins left it, and in accordance with the request of Professor 
 Eastman of your Board of Trustees, who had the matter in charge. 
 
vi FOEEAYOPiD 
 
 I have arranged with the University Press to print the matter, which 
 has now, in 1907, been completed. 
 
 " To the present generation the War of the Eebellion is a matter 
 of history. To those who were active at that period it recalls the 
 magnificent response made from all classes when the life of the 
 nation was threatened. No class of people acted more promptly, 
 cheerfully, or intelligently than did the college men. Many gave up 
 their life work, surrendered bright prospects, and sacrificed all for 
 their country. At school, college, and academy, studies were aban- 
 doned and students entered the army and navy in all grades, — in 
 some cases whole classes enlisted. 
 
 " From the College and the Medical School Dartmouth contributed 
 652 of her Alumni and under-graduates — a larger percentage than 
 any other college in the North. To place on record the heroic work 
 of these sons of Dartmouth, whose names should be imperishably 
 immortalized, is an honorable distinction to have been achieved by 
 the President and Trustees of the College. 
 
 " A debt of gratitude from the Alumni and all interested in the 
 College is thus due to the Administration for having placed before 
 succeeding generations a record which all may see; and, emulating 
 the lives and characters of those therein enrolled, all who read may 
 be stimulated to nobler deeds, to loftier aims, and pledge anew their 
 devotion to our country, its institutions, and traditions." 
 
 The foregoing notes by C. T. Gallagher, hon. '9i, on the inception, 
 progress, and completion of the Dartmouth Poll of Honor, set forth 
 with sufficient clearness the quality and magnitude of the labor 
 required to produce the following tribute to the patriotic spirit of 
 the sons of Dartmouth. These brief sketches form a priceless memo- 
 rial to the Dartmouth scholar, patriot, and soldier.

 the same vessel at Philadelphia. 
 Died, 1873. 
 
 1825. Nathaniel Gould Ladd, 
 D.M.C. : Was connected for a few 
 weeks with the army in hospital 
 service. Died March 20, 1885. 
 
 1826. Luther V. Bell, D.M.C: 
 Although ten years beyond the age 
 when military duty could be re- 
 quired of him, and being himself a 
 subject of treatment under pulmo- 
 nary disease, he offered his services 
 to the government and was commis- 
 sioned surgeon of the Eleventh Reg- 
 iment Massachusetts Volunteers 
 June 13, 1861; mustered into ser- 
 vice the same day; discharged on 
 the 8th day of September, 1861, 
 to accept appointment as brigade

 11, 1862, at Budd's Ferry, Va., 
 after a brief illness of pneumo- 
 nia. He was present at the first 
 battle in which the Army of the 
 Potomac was engaged, and upon the 
 organization of that army in the au- 
 tumn of 1861, accepted promotion, 
 and devoted himself to the great 
 work of his profession. After the 
 first battle of Bull Run he thus 
 wrote to a friend : " The whole vol- 
 ume of military surgery was opened 
 before me on Svuiday afternoon 
 (July 21, 1861) with illustrations 
 horrid and sanguinary. Sudley 
 Church with its hundred wounded 
 victims will form a picture in my 
 sick dreams so long as I live. I 
 have never spent one night out of 
 camp since 1 came into it, and a 
 bed and myself have been strangers, 
 practically, for months ; yet I have 
 never had one beginning of a regret 
 at my decision to devote what may 
 be left of life and ability to the 
 great cause. I have, as you know, 
 four young motherless children. 
 Painful as it is to leave such a 
 charge, I have forced myself into 
 reconciliation by the reflection that 
 the great issue under the stern arbit- 
 rament of arms is. whether or not 
 our children are to have a country." 
 1826. Samuel Burbank Straw, 
 D.M.C. : Was commissioned cap- 
 tain of Company E, Eleventh Maine

 dent to the long marches that the 
 regiment had to make, and resigned 
 as above. His intense patriotism, 
 however, gave him no rest, and he

 Dougal in charge of the Medical De- 
 partment of New York and was

 Grant's official report, and continued 
 to be his chief of staff till in Octo- 
 ber, 1862, he was detailed by the 
 War Department to make a sur- 
 vey of the Illinois and Michigan

 he was ordered to St. Louis and 
 thence to Memphis, Tenn. When

 ment against Vicksburg, Dr. Bart-

 escort of General Sherman left 
 Memphis October 11, and on the 
 trip to Chattanooga the train bear- 
 ing General Sherman and escort 
 was attacked by the Confederate 
 General Chalmers, who, after a 
 sharp fight, was repelled. It was 
 learned from rebel prisoners, taken 
 at this time, that General Chal- 
 mers had information given him of 
 the departure of General Sherman 
 from Memphis, and his attack, which 
 signally failed, was made for the 
 purpose of capturing General Sher- 
 man. November 4, near Water- 
 loo, Ala., the quartermaster's train 
 was attacked by a company of 
 Rhoddy's command, which did some 
 damage to the train. On the 25th

 Expeditionary Corps commanded 
 by General Burnside ; went to North 
 Carolina, and was engaged at Roa- 
 noke Island, Newbern, and Camden. 
 In July, 1862, the regiment was 
 sent to Virginia, and became a por- 
 tion of the Ninth Army Corps, whose 
 fortunes it shared during the re- 
 mainder of the war. He was en- 
 gaged in the second battle of Bull 
 Run, Chantilly, South Mountain, 
 Antietam and Fredericksburg. He 
 went to Kentucky in April, 1863, 
 and later took part in the East 
 Tennessee campaign. In the spring 
 of 1864 the regiment rejoined the 
 Army of the Potomac in Virginia, 
 and participated in the battles of 
 General Grant's Richmond cam- 
 paign. Surgeon Cutter was com- 
 mended for his conduct in the bat- 
 tles in which he was engaged. At 
 Newbern he served as brigade sur- 
 geon. At second Bull Run he was 
 acting division surgeon, and went 
 into action with General Reno. 
 As one of the regiments broke, Dr. 
 Cutter, in trying to rally it, was 
 seen to fall, and was left upon the 
 field, and mourned as dead. A few 
 days later he walked into camp as 
 well as ever. He had been struck 
 
 on the plate of his waist-belt by a 
 musket ball, and fell senseless. 
 When he tried to rise a rebel at- 
 tacked him with a bayonet. The 
 doctor said, " Don't touch me ; I am 
 a surgeon." The rebel said with an 
 oath, " You 've got a sword in your 
 hand now." An officer coming up, 
 the doctor pointed to his green sash, 
 and Avas adjudged a non-combatant, 
 and left free to do as he pleased. 
 He was well treated at Gen. A. P. 
 Hill's headquarters, and was al- 
 lowed to depart the next day, and 
 make his way to the Union lines.

 1834. Rufus Gilpatrick, D.M.C: 
 Went to Kansas in 1854, and was 
 one of the foremost actors in the 
 stirring events that attended the 
 organization of that State. He was 
 an intimate friend of Capt. John 
 Brown, with whom he was identified 
 in the "underground" railway oper- 
 ations so called, and with whom he 
 
DAETMOUTII EOLL OF HOXOR 
 
 acted in the great struggle. He was 
 president of tlie first Stiite Con- 
 gressional Convention, presidential 
 elector in 18G0, and was a member 
 of the territorial legislature. In 
 the beginning of the Civil War he 
 acted as surgeon in charge of a bri- 
 gade organized by Gen. James 
 H. Lane, with whom he was closely 
 connected in public affairs. He 
 served with the Army of the Fron- 
 tier, first as surgeon of volunteers, 
 and afterwards as a secret agent of 
 the United States, in connection 
 with the arduous campaigns of that 
 army, and was killed April 14, 1863, 
 at Webber's Falls, in the Indian 
 Territory, by Confederate soldiers,

 man at some little distance from 
 the command. 
 
 1835. Stephen Sewall Norton 
 Greeley: Was commissioned chap- 
 lain of the Sixth Michigan Cavalry 
 Oct. 15, 1862; resigned June 26, 
 1865, upon the close of the war.

 one of several Michigan regiments 
 composing General Custer's brigade 
 of cavalry, which served in the 
 Army of the Potomac and sustained 
 a reputation second to none, under 
 that gallant commander and his 
 superior officer. General Sheridan. 
 Gen. Russell A. Alger, of Michi- 
 gan, says of Mr. Greeley : " I was 
 very fond indeed of Mr. Greeley. I 
 united with his church in 1860; he 
 married me in 1861, and went out as 
 chaplain of the Sixth Cavalry, of 
 ■which I was lieutenant-colonel. He

 division, in the vicinity of Fort 
 Monroe, and at Newport News. 
 Five companies of the regiment were 
 in the battle of Big Bethel, under 
 the command of Lieutenant-Colonel 
 Washburn. Although this expedi- 
 tion was unsuccessful, there is am- 
 ple testimony as to the coolness 
 and courage of Lieutenant-Colonel 
 Washburn, both from friends and 
 strangers. Benedict, in his " Ver- 
 mont in the Civil War," says that 
 " The final and really only for- 
 midable assault on the works at 
 Big Bethel was made by Colonel 
 Washburn's regiment." He was

 Francis S. Fiske, lieutenant-col- 
 onel of the Second New Hampshire, 
 himself a graduate of Dartmouth 
 in the class of 1843, says of General 
 Marston, on the occasion of the 
 dedication of a moniunent to him 
 in 1890: 
 
 " He was the embodiment of all 
 that was best and noblest in that 
 noble body of men who formed the 
 
DARTMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE 
 
 Second New Hampshire. He knew 
 and understood the character of 
 New Hampshire men, among whom 
 he had lived all his life. He knew 
 his soldiers thoroughly, and they 
 knew him, and were proud that Gov- 
 ernor Goodwin had given them as 
 their colonel one so high in position 
 and character. He was careful of 
 the welfare of his men. He felt the 
 full responsibility of his position, 
 and that not only the lives but also 
 the health and comfort of his men 
 were under his charge, and that 
 he was their protector in all their 
 rights. When the general com- 
 manding him ordered the Second 
 New Hampshire to embark for York- 
 town on an overloaded boat, Gen- 
 eral Marston said, ' My men came 
 here to fight like men, not to drown 
 like rats.' The order was repeated, 
 but not a man was permitted to ap- 
 proach the wharf until the boat was 
 unladen of the baggage trains on 
 her deck. At the second battle of 
 Bull Run, when ordered to make one 
 of the most desperate charges of the 
 war, he said, ' Many of us will go 
 in who will never come out, but I 
 know that every man will do his 
 duty in it;' and charging with his 
 men, with bullet and bayonet and 
 rifle-butt, they swept away the first 
 rebel line, crashed through the 
 second line, and, with unfaltering 
 spirit; but less in numbers, charged 
 but failed to carry the third line. 
 Such a commander was our general, 
 and it is to him we off"er this monu- 
 ment with our inscription upon it." 
 General Marston died July 3, 
 1S9(). 
 1837. Lucius Leslie Scammell: 
 Was appointed acting assistant 
 surgeon Jan. 29, 1864, and assigned 
 to duty at the Contraband Camp, 
 near Arlington Heights, Va. Was 
 put in charge of the hospital at 
 that place July 1, 1804, in place of 
 Dr. Garland, who then resigned. 
 
 During the time of his service in 
 this camp, a large number of ne- 
 groes were sent back from the West 
 
 Indies and placed under his charge 
 for treatment. The work was neces- 
 sarily very exhaustive, and the en- 
 tire force of surgeons and hospital 
 stewards were frequently down with 
 the malaria. 
 
 Shortly before the close of the war 
 he resigned. Died Feb. 13. 1892. 
 1837. George Foster Shepley: 
 Appointed colonel of the Twelfth 
 Maine Volunteers Sept. 27, 1861. 
 His regiment formed a part of the 
 New England Division of G«n. B. F. 
 Butler, at whose earnest solicita- 
 tion he was appointed and induced 
 to accept the position. The expedi- 
 tion of which his regiment was a 
 part embarked January, 1862, with 
 orders to report at Fort Monroe. 
 After considerable detention at 
 Hampton Roads, on account of the 
 hesitation of the then commanding 
 general of the army to allow any 
 demonstration to be made against 
 New Orleans with so small a force 
 as that placed under the command 
 of General Butler, General Shepley 
 was allowed to proceed, and sailed 
 for Ship Island, where he arrived 
 on the 12th of February. On the 
 22d of March, 1862, he was placed 
 in command of the Third Brigade, 
 which consisted of the Twelfth, 
 Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fif- 
 teenth Maine Regiments, the Thir- 
 tieth Massachusetts Regiment, the 
 First Maine Battery, and Magee's 
 Cavalry. On the occupation of New 
 Orleans by General Butler, he was 
 made military commandant of New 
 Orleans. Not long after. General 
 Butler having removed the rebel 
 mayor of New Orleans from of- 
 fice, General Shepley was ordered 
 to take the administration of 
 the civil government of the city. 
 He retained in force such laws and 
 general ordinances of the city as 
 were not inconsistent with the laws 
 of the United States or the orders 
 of the commanding general, and 
 continued in force all the contracts 
 legally entered into by the city, 
 pledged the fulfilment of them on 
 
DAETMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE 
 
 his part, and required them to be 
 faithfully performed on the part 
 of the contractors. All persons 
 holding ottice under the city having 
 been reijuired by General Butler to 
 take the oath of allegiance to the 
 United States or vacate their offices, 
 the aldermen and members of the 
 council declined to take the oath. 
 General Shepley, instead of supply- 
 ing their places, disposed entirely of 
 the two boards, and organized an 
 Executive Board of the city and 
 Bureau of Officers, acting directly 
 under his authority. This form of 
 administering the city affairs 
 proved so successful that it was 
 continued during all successive 
 military and civil administrations, 
 even after civil government was re- 
 stored in all the rest of the State, 
 and during the administration of 
 two successive governors who were 
 elected by the people. As a result 
 of General Shepley's rule, New Or- 
 leans became as healthy, cleanly, or- 
 derly, and well governed as any city 
 in the country. In recognition of the 
 great ability displayed by him, both 
 as a civil and military ruler under 
 General Butler, President Lincoln, 
 on the recommendation of the Secre- 
 tary of War, on the 3d day of June, 
 1862, appointed him military gov- 
 ernor of the State of Louisiana. On 
 the 20th day of July he was ap- 
 pointed brigadier-general, to rank 
 from July 18. He continued to 
 exercise the functions of military 
 governor until the inauguration of 
 a civil governor elected by the peo- 
 ple, when he was, at his own re- 
 quest, relieved by the president 
 and ordered to report again to the 
 adjutant general of the army for 
 service in the field. When he left 
 New Orleans, a large number of 
 leading and influential citizens is- 
 sued an address highly commenda- 
 tory of his- administration in Loui- 
 siana. After leaving Louisiana he 
 was ordered to report for duty in 
 the Department of Virginia and 
 North Carolina. He was then 
 
 placed in command of the Military 
 District of Eastern Virginia, which 
 included the important posts and 
 garrisons of Fort Monroe, Newport 
 News, Yorktown, Williamsburg, 
 Norfolk, Portsmouth, the eastern 
 part of Virginia, and that portion 
 of North Carolina north of Albe- 
 marle Sound. After quite a lengthy 
 service in command of this mili- 
 tary district, he again took the 
 field as chief of staff to Major-Gen- 
 eral Weitzel, and was for a short 
 time, during the absence of General 
 Weitzel, commanding the Twenty- 
 fifth Army Corps. He continued 
 with the Army of the James dur- 
 ing the I'emainder of the campaign, 
 entering Richmond with General 
 Weitzel's command — which were 
 the first troops to enter the city 
 after its fall — ^ and was appointed 
 the first military governor of that 
 city. He resigned his commission 
 at the close of the war, his resig- 
 nation taking effect July 1, 1865. 
 Died July 20, 1S7S.

 pital at Leavenworth, but very soon 
 afterwards was attached to the 
 Eighth Kansas Infantry, and sent

 land. In the spring of 1802 Dr. 
 Chamberlain was ordered by General 
 Mitchell to take possession of a 
 building at Union City, Tenn., col- 
 lect supplies for a hospital, and 
 gather the sick and wounded from 
 the various camps that had been left, 
 and take charge of it till further 
 orders. About two months after- 
 wards he was ordered to join his 
 regiment which participated in the 
 pursuit of General Bragg in his 
 march on Louisville, Ky., and Perry- 
 ville: from there he was ordered to 
 Nashville, Tenn., and put in charge

 DARTMOUTH ROLL OF HOXOE 
 
 of a convalescent camp of 7000, and 
 subsequently established a hospital 
 for the wounded in the battle of Stone 
 River. This hospital was continued 
 after the battle, and Dr. Chamber- 
 lain remained in charge for nearly a 
 year, when he was ordered to his 
 regiment and found it destitute of 
 supplies. The regiment was ordered 
 to follow Bragg again, and brought 
 up at Chattanooga. After the bat- 
 tle of Chickamauga he was assigned 
 to duty in Chattanooga, and placed 
 in charge of two churches which 
 were used as a hospital ; here he 
 was under fire from Lookout Moun- 
 tain, the shells occasionally falling 
 in the vicinity of the hospital.

 the time of his service. Tlie men of 
 the regiment always had a very 
 friendly and kindly feeling for him. 
 He was in the battles of First Bull 
 Run and Williamsburg, and others 
 in which the regiment was engaged. 
 He always succored the wounded 
 without heeding whether he was 
 under fire or not. Colonel Fiske of 
 the same regiment says: "His 
 preaching in camp was always 
 largely attended. He was looked 
 upon by the men as their guide, 
 philosopher, and friend under all 
 circumstances, and he desired that 
 they should so look upon him. In 
 my opinion he Avas a chaplain who 
 might serve as a model for all chap- 
 lains of volunteer regiments." 
 General Patterson, who was for a 
 time colonel of the Second, says, 
 " While Chaplain Parker was with 
 the command he received the re- 
 spect and love of every ofTicer and 
 soldier in the regiment." Died

 1842. Harrison Carroll Hobart: 
 In April, 1861, he raised a company 
 of one hundred men in Chilton, 
 Wis., in response to President Lin- 
 coln's call for 75,000 men. He was 
 elected captain by the company, com- 
 missioned by the governor April 
 23, assigned to the Fourth Wiscon- 
 
 sin Eegiment of Infantry, and left 
 the State July 5 for Alaryland. In 
 the fall of 1861 was in the expedi- 
 tion to the eastern shore of Mary- 
 land, which drove the rebel forces 
 across the bay into Virginia. On 
 returning to Baltimore, Captain 
 Hobart was assigned to duty as 
 judge advocate of court-martial, 
 held at that city for the trial of 
 officers, by order of General Mc- 
 Clellan. In March, 1862, was as- 
 signed to duty in the Army of the 
 Gulf, and embarked for Ship Is- 
 land. He was at the capture of 
 New Orleans, siege of Vicksburg, 
 burning of Grand Gulf, and battle 
 of Baton Rouge. Was soon after 
 promoted to lieutenant-colonel of 
 the Twenty-first Wisconsin Infantry 
 and relieved from duty in the Army 
 of the Gulf, to take command of 
 that regiment, which was then in 
 the Army of the Cumberland, and 
 operating in Kentucky, under Gen. 
 George H. Thomas. He was with 
 that army in the march through 
 Kentucky into Tennessee, and in 
 the battle of Stone River. He was 
 also in the battle of Hoover's Gap, 
 and with the advance upon Tulla- 
 homa. Sept. 11, 1863. crossed the 
 Tennessee River, and encountered 
 the enemy at Dug Gap. September 
 19 and 20 was in the battle of 
 Chickamauga. Taken prisoner of 
 war, and sent to Libby Prison, in 
 Richmond, Va., Feb. 9, 1864. He 
 made a successful escape with 108 
 other officers, by a tunnel con- 
 structed imder the street from the 
 basement cellar of the prison. The 
 escaping party issued from the tun- 
 nel in groups of two, and Colonel 
 Hobart came out in company with 
 Col. Theodore S. West. Being very 
 pale from long confinement, he 
 conceived the idea of feigning to be 
 ill with consumption, so as to ex- 
 cite the commiseration of any par- 
 ties who might discover him. He 
 and his companion, West, marched 
 by night, and lay in swamps and 
 jungles by day. They crossed rivers 
 
DARTMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE

 and streams, often retracing their 
 steps, and mailing long detours to 
 avoid the rebel cavalry, which was 
 scouring the country in all direc- 
 tions in pursuit. Their pursuers 
 were often in sight. Bloodhounds 
 were seen by them on their track, 
 and once only prevented them from 
 running them down by fording a 
 narrow stream, thereby throwing 
 them off their scent. Their only 
 guides in their efforts to escape 
 were the north star and one of Mc- 
 Clellan's war maps of Virginia, 
 which Hobart had copied while in 
 prison. Thus they worked their 
 way through the enemy's country 
 for five days and six nights; receiv- 
 ing no aid, nor daring to ask it 
 from any white man during the 
 weary march. A negro one night 
 kindly risked his life to pilot them 
 tlirough some rebel pickets ob- 
 structing their way. On the sixth 
 day, wearied, footsore, and hungry, 
 they reached the federal outposts, 
 and were challenged by some Penn- 
 sylvania scouts. They answered by 
 three cheers, which showed that 
 the medicinal virtues of the piny 
 swamps of Virginia had wrought 
 a marvellous cure of the severe pul- 
 monary attack under which Colonel 
 Hobart was laboring when he left 
 Richmond. On returning to his 
 regiment he was promoted to the 
 rank of colonel. In Sherman's ad- 
 vance to Atlanta he participated 
 in the battles of Buzzard's Roost, 
 Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, 
 Kenesaw Mountain, Marietta, Chat- 
 tahoochie, Peach Tree Creek, and 
 Atlanta. After the downfall of At- 
 lanta Colonel Hobart was assigned 
 to the First Brigade, First Divi- 
 sion, Fourteenth Army Corps. In 
 Sherman's march to the sea, on the 
 capture of Savannah, he was brev- 
 etted for meritorious service, on the 
 recommendation of General Sher- 
 man, and soon after appointed to the 
 rank of brigadier-general by Presi- 
 dent Lincoln, which appointment 
 was confirmed by the senate. He 
 
 was in command of the brigade in 
 the march through the Carol inas, 
 and the battles of Averysboro, 
 Bentonville, and the capture of 
 Raleigh. His command partici- 
 pated in the grand review at Wash- 
 ington, which closed the war. Gen- 
 eral Hobart was mustered out very 
 soon thereafter, after four years of 
 service. Died at Milwaukee, Wis., 
 Jan. 26, 1902. 
 
 1842. Royal Parkinson: While 
 serving in the Christian Commission 
 in connection with negro troops, 
 Mr. Parkinson was appointed chap- 
 lain of the Twenty-tlurd Regiment 
 United States Colored Troops in No- 
 vember, 1804. He resigned his pas- 
 torate at Randolph, Vt., and joined 
 the regiment December 5, it being 
 stationed at Bermuda Hundred, Va. 
 Was mustered in December 16, at 
 General Butler's headquarters. De- 
 cember 31 his regiment broke camp, 
 and marched to the north side of 
 the James. Chaplain Parkinson oc- 
 cupied much of his time in teaching 
 tlie soldiers arithmetic, geography, 
 chronologj', and history. Just be- 
 fore the close of the war he was 
 sent under orders to Washington. 
 His regiment, the Twenty-third 
 United States Colored Troops, was 
 among the very first to enter Rich- 
 mond. Near the last of May, 1805, 
 the regiment was ordered to Texas, 
 and Chaplain Parkinson resigned 
 his commission, and was mustered 
 out of the service. Died Dec. 22, 
 1882. 
 
 1842. Samuel Souther: Enlisted

 Island he served in the capacity of 
 acting assistant surgeon U. S. 
 Army; after the battle of Newbern, 
 was detailed to organize the " Acad- 
 emy Green " Hospital at Newbern,

 during the remainder of his term of 
 service, ending April, 1803. 
 
 Note — The " Stanley General 
 Hospital " was the largest in the 
 Department of North Carolina, 
 comprising about six hundred beds. 
 Dr. Upham's services were freely 
 given to the government, and as 
 such are left on record as a noble 
 benefaction ; at first he offered his 
 services only for six weeks, but on 
 arriving at the front he found the 
 field so large that he willingly de- 
 cided to remain longer in the ser- 
 vice, giving thirteen months of his 
 time to this humane work. While 
 
 faithful in the discharge of the du- 
 ties of his office, he especially en- 
 deared himself to Massachusetts by 
 enclosing, at his own expense, the 
 graves of her honored dead who 
 were buried at Newbern, with a 
 handsome and substantial fence. 
 Died in New York City March 17,

 1842. Otis Ayer, D.M.C.: Was 
 commissioned assistant surgeon 
 Second Regiment Minnesota Volun- 
 teers in April, 1803, and remained 
 with the regiment till the close of 
 the battle of Chickamauga ; was in 
 charge of a brigade hospital on that 
 battlefield for twelve days, at the 
 end of which time he accompanied 
 the last ambulance load of the sick 
 and wounded men under his care to 
 Chattanooga, Tenn. On the battle- 
 field he gave his parole to report 
 at Atlanta, Ga., where he remained 
 off duty till exchanged late in No- 
 vember; resigned his commission 
 Dec. 23, 1803; was afterwards

 Died, 1871. 
 
 1843. William Dickinson: Was 
 appointed, Sept. 18, 1861, contract 
 surgeon, and placed in charge of 
 general hospital at Benton Bar- 
 racks, St. Louis, Mo. Being sum- 
 moned to Washington for medical 
 examination, he was commissioned, 
 April 2, 1862, brigade surgeon by 
 President Lincoln ; a rank awarded 
 to only one other surgeon from St. 
 Louis. He remained in charge of 
 the hospital at Benton Barracks till 
 November, 1862, when he was or- 
 dered to Rolla, Mo., in charge of the 
 general hospital at that place, and 
 as medical director of that mili- 
 tary district. In 1863, being re- 
 lieved from this position, he was 
 ordered to join the command of 
 Major-General Carr, then in the 
 South. While at Memphis, Tenn., 
 on his way thither, he received a 
 telegraphic order from the sur- 
 geon-general U. S. Army to re- 
 turn to St. Louis, and there or- 
 ganize and conduct the United 
 States Eye and Ear Infirmary. In 
 this position he remained till its

 he was assigned to duty with the 
 brigade of Brig.-Gen. Fitz Henry

 duty on different military boards 
 till December, when, one week after 
 the battle of Nashville, Tenn., he 
 was ordered to duty in that city, 
 when he was appointed general in- 
 spector of the Negroes' Hospital in 
 the vicinity, and so continued till 
 Jan. 15, 1865, when he resigned his 
 commission. In connection with 
 the military history of Dr. Dickin- 
 son it may not be out of place to 
 allude to the fact that he belonged 
 to a family memorable for the num- 
 ber engaged in the war for the pres- 
 ervation of the Union. His mother 
 enjoyed the rare distinction of 
 having contributed six sons, two 
 grandsons, and five stepsons — 
 thirteen in all — to the military 
 service of the country, in the sev- 
 eral grades of surgeons and pri- 
 vates. Died Feb. 2, 1894. 
 1843. Francis Skinner Fiske: 
 W'hen President Lincoln issued his 
 first call for troops in April, 1861, 
 Mr. Fiske was living in Boston. 
 When he read the call he imme- 
 diately wrote to Governor Good- 
 win, of New Hampshire, offering his 
 services for the war, and suggest- 
 ing that the governor send him au- 
 thority to raise a battalion in 
 Cheshire County. April 17, Secre- 
 tary of State Tulloch, of New 
 Hampshire, came to his office with 
 this authority and a letter from 
 Governor Goodwin, saying that he 
 thought that Mr. Fiske was over- 
 sanguine in his hopes of raising a 
 battalion. Mr. Fiske went to 
 Keene, N. H., that afternoon, the 
 17th. On the 24th he wrote the 
 governor that he was going to 
 start that day for Portsmouth 
 with two full companies, that two 
 more companies were nearly full 
 and would follow in two or three 
 days, and that two companies had 
 preceded him. ]\Tr. Fiske had then 
 been commissioned lieutenant-col- 
 onel of the Second Regiment, or- 
 ganized as a three months' regi- 
 ment, but before mustering, the call 
 for three years came, and the entire 
 
18 
 
 DAETMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE 
 
 regiment, with a few individual 
 exceptions, enlisted again. The 
 regiment left Portsmouth June 20, 
 and reached Washington June 21. 
 Was engaged in the battle of Bull 
 Run in Buruside's brigade, which 
 saw some of the hardest lighting 
 of the day. The colonel of the regi- 
 ment was wounded the second time 
 they went under fire, after which 
 the lieutenant-colonel was in com- 
 mand of the regiment. The regi- 
 ment maintained its position per- 
 fectly during the whole of the bat- 
 tle, and left the field in as good or- 
 der as it entered it, drawing off all 
 of its equipage except the ambu- 
 lance. Colonel Fiske remained in 
 command of the regiment till Colo- 
 nel Marston returned in November, 
 when they were on duty in Lower 
 Maryland. Just before Colonel 
 Marston returned. General Hooker 
 sent Colonel Fiske down the Poto- 
 mac with some cavalry and artil- 
 lery to maintain order during the 
 election. On leaving, the inhabit- 
 ants expressed their gratitude in 
 many ways to the regiment for its 
 conduct while there. From late in 
 November until March, 18G2, Colonel 
 Fiske served on Di\ision Court- 
 Martial. In the month of May he 
 was ordered by General Hooker to 
 take command of the Twenty-sixth 
 Regiment of Pennsylvania Volun- 
 teers, which was supposed to be in- 
 subordinate. Colonel Fiske never 
 had any trouble with the regiment, 
 and believes that he had their good- 
 will when he left them. He went 
 with them to Yorktown, when tliey 
 were first under fire, where he was 
 stricken with the army fever, but 
 kept in command up to the battle 
 of Williamsburg. Early in the 
 battle, General Hooker, with whom 
 he was riding, sent an assistant 
 surgeon to take him from the field 
 and place him in the rear until he 
 could be taken care of, and this was 
 the last of his active service. He 
 lay at the point of death for some 
 time, but finally recovered, and re- 
 
 signed in November, 1862. While 
 in the service he was ofl'ered the 
 colonelcy of both the Third and 
 Fourth New Hampshire Regiments, 
 but preferred to remain \\ith the 
 old Second. He was also told by 
 General Hooker that Governor Cur- 
 tin, of Pennsylvania, offered to 
 make him colonel of the Twenty- 
 sixth Pennsylvania Regiment. For 
 gallant and meritorious service he 
 was brevetted colonel and after- 
 wards brigadier-general. 
 
 1843. Ezra White Gale: While 
 teaching in Erie, Pa., was drafted 
 into the army. Served four montlis 
 only, and was discharged on ac- 
 count of disability. Died March 
 1.3, 1891. 
 
 1843. Joshua James Guppey: 
 W'as commissioned, Sept. 13, 1861, 
 lieutenant-colonel of the Tenth 
 Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer In- 
 fantry, and served under Cien. 0. M. 
 Mitchell in all of his campaigns in 
 1861, in Kentucky, Tennessee, and 
 Alabama. July 17, 1862, he was 
 promot<^d to colonel of the Twenty- 
 third Regiment Wisconsin Infan- 
 try, and was with it. in actual com- 
 mand, in the first assault on Vicks- 
 burg, in December, 1862, under 
 General Sherman; also in the as- 
 sault and capture of Post Arkansas, 
 Jan. 11, 1863, and at the battles 
 of Grand Gulf, Fort Gibson, Cham- 
 pion Hill, and Black River Bridge. 
 In all of these battles his regiment 
 behaved with distinguished bravery, 
 and the official report of the cap- 
 ture of Post Arkansas states that 
 a part of tlie rebel right was driven 
 in by a charge of the Twenty-third 
 Wisconsin, under Colonel Guppey. 
 He was also in command of his 
 regiment in the assault on Vicks- 
 burg in May, 1863, and in the 
 siege and operations which resulted 
 in the capture of that stronghold 
 July 4, 1863. Soon after this his 
 regiment, which avps a part of the 
 Thirteenth Army Corps, was trans- 
 ferred to the Department of the 
 Gulf. In November, 1863, the four 
 
DAETMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE

 divisions of the Thirteenth Army 
 Corps, commanded by General Bur- 
 bridge, were attacked by an over- 
 wlielming force at Carrion Crow, 
 near Opelousas, La., and the battle 
 of Grand Coteau occurred. In this 
 battle the Twenty-third Wisconsin, 
 commanded by Colonel Guppey, 
 was held in reserve. " When its 
 turn came to take the brunt of the 
 battle," says the Cincinnati Commer- 
 cial, " this excellent regiment, ani- 
 mated by its brave colonel, held the 
 enemy in check for a short time, 
 delivering its fire with deadly 
 effect." Here Colonel Guppey was 
 wounded just below the knee of the 
 left leg, and subsequently taken 
 prisoner. The Twenty-third, how- 
 ever, had to give way; the odds 
 were too great for human effort to 
 overcome. The colonel commanded 
 his men for some time after he was 
 shot. He was exchanged in Janu- 
 ary, 18G4, and was soon after de- 
 tailed by General Banks as presi- 
 dent of a military commission for 
 the examination of officers in the 
 Thirteenth Army Corps, and con- 
 tinued on that duty until he was so 
 far recovered from his wounds as to 
 be fit for service in the field. In the 
 summer of 1864 Colonel Guppey 
 was transferred to the Nineteenth 
 Army Corps with his regiment. He

 Second Division, of that corps, and

 Ala., to Paducah, Ky., and was 
 post commander at the place last 
 named when the war was substan- 
 tially ended. His command formed 
 a part of General Granger's army,

 battery of artillery, and a company 
 of cavalry, was sent by boat to 
 Cedar Point, situated on the main- 
 land fifteen miles from the cap- 
 
 tured forts, to raid a rebel work 
 constructed there. The landing 
 was difficult, as the rebels had de- 
 stroyed the piers leading to deep 
 water, but was effected without ac- 
 cident or loss. On the 3d of Oc- 
 tober, 1804, Colonel Guppey, with 
 a third of his regiment, was sent

 point in the river, and hold the 
 forces gathered against liim figlit- 
 ing at long range till the other ex- 
 pedition had been given time to raid 
 the place which it was to attack; 
 and then Colonel Guppey was to re- 
 turn to the river. Both expeditions 
 were successful. During the fall of 
 1804 Colonel Guppey's command 
 was on duty in forts and military 
 posts along the Mississippi River 
 as far north as Paducah, where he 
 was made post commander, and

 command. Soon after General 
 Thomas had annihilated Hood's 
 army, Colonel Guppey's brigade

 the Gulf, but Colonel Guppey him- 
 self was retained by General 
 Thomas as post commander at Pa- 
 ducah till the war was over.

 Fla., and in the Ute campaign, Col., 
 1880. He was a grandson of Gen. 
 James Badger, who was a captain 
 in the Revolutionary War in 1776. 
 Died May 12, 1897. 
 1848. James Chaplin Beecher: 
 Was appointed chaplain of the 
 First Long Island Regiment, " The 
 Brooklyn Phalanx," early in the 
 war, but his personal inclinations 
 led him to desire more active mili- 
 tary duty, and he served as staff 
 officer in a most suitable manner. 
 He afterwards became senior cap- 
 tain of the regiment, commanding 
 Company A. Being honorably dis- 
 charged from this regiment by 
 reason of the expiration of the term 
 of service. Captain Beecher re-en- 
 tered the service as lieutenant-col- 
 onel of the One Hundred and Forty- 
 first New York. After a few weeks 
 in the hospital he was again com- 
 missioned as colonel of the First 
 North Carolina Colored Volunteers 
 — afterwards designated the Thirty- 
 fifth Regiment of the United States 
 Colored Troops — which he raised, 
 organized, armed, and led for three 
 years. After five years of constant 
 service he resigned, with rank of 
 brevet brigadier-general. General 
 Beecher served in the Department 
 
DAETMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE 
 
 27 
 
 of the South. In the herculean task 
 of making trusted sokliers and men 
 out of slaves escaping from bond- 
 age, General Beecher's enthusiasm 
 and tireless spirit found full scope. 
 In a few months after taking com- 
 mand of the regiment, all of its 
 movements on dress parade were 
 made with a precision second to no 
 volunteer regiment in tlie army. 
 When he opened his recruiting of- 
 fice in May, 1863, in Newbern, N. C, 
 he undertook the spiritual, as well 
 as the physical, care of his men. It 
 must be remembered that the of- 
 ficers of colored troops had to work 
 against great prejudice, for it was 
 believed, and often said, that " the 
 nigger would n't fight." It was 
 largely owing to Colonel Beecher's 
 untiring eflorts that the colored 
 troops were placed on an equality 
 with the white, in dvity and danger. 
 The fall of 1864 saw Colonel Beecher 
 at the head of his command engaged 
 in an attempt to break the enemy's 
 line on the Charleston and Savan- 
 nah Railroad, which brought on the 
 bloody engagement of Honey Hill. 
 His horse having been shot under 
 him, he charged the fortification on 
 foot, at the head of his men, was 
 three times wounded, and brought 
 off at the close of the day shot 
 through the body, it was supposed 
 fatally. After recovery he went 
 North on furlough, and rejoined the 
 army just in season to enter 
 Charleston after its evacuation. 
 Here he was pvit in command of the 
 upper half of the city, his troops 
 occupying the Citadel, and on his 
 first Sunday he preached in Zion 
 Church, — the largest in the city. 
 After three months' service in 
 Charleston he was placed over the 
 second Sub District of the Military 
 District of that city. This district 
 was about 90 miles square, and in- 
 cluded the Sea Islands and some 
 six hundred rice and cotton planta- 
 tions, and two good-sized towns. 
 Here he remained about a year, 
 until the regiment was mustered 
 
 out of service, in June, 186G. In 
 this new and difficult task of recon- 
 struction of affairs he was very suc- 
 cessful, and won the hearty ap- 
 proval of his superiors in the army 
 and of all classes in his military 
 district. A paper of that time thus 
 speaks of him: "Honest, upright, 
 uncompromising, consistent, with 
 his whole heart in the work of 
 securing equal rights to all men 
 without regard to color, he has 
 brought order out of confusion, and 
 obtained the confidence both of the 
 freedmen and their late owners." 
 Died Aug. 25, 1886, at Elmira, N. Y. 
 1848. Isaac Lewis Clarke: En- 
 listed at Waukegan, 111., in July, 
 1862, in Company G, Ninety-sixth 
 Illinois Infantry. At the organiza- 
 tion of the company, August 11, he 
 was elected captain. When the 
 regiment was mustered into the 
 United States service, at Rockford, 
 111., he was chosen lieutenant-colonel. 
 From Rockford the regiment was 
 ordered to Kentucky, and at New- 
 port was assigned to the Second 
 Brigade, Third Division, Army of 
 Kentucky. During the fall of 1862 
 and spring of 186.3 the regiment was 
 a part of the ReserA^e Corps of the 
 Army of the Cumberland, engaged 
 in skirmishing expeditions and in 
 similar service in the battle of 
 Chickamauga. Colonel Clarke was 
 continually on duty with the regi- 
 ment during this time. At the 
 battle of Chickamauga the Ninety- 
 sixth was attached to the First Bri- 
 gade, First Division of the Reserve 
 Corps. On the second day of the 
 battle the Reserve Corps was 
 brought into action and was in the 
 thickest of the fight, the Ninety- 
 sixth forming the extreme right of 
 the line. While Colonel Clarke was 
 speaking words of cheer to the men 
 a bullet struck him, inflicting a 
 mortal wound, of which he died 
 Sept. 22, 1863. The Regimental 
 historian saj^s: "That to the brav- 
 ery, care, and discipline of Colonel 
 Clarke the regiment owed much of 
 
28 
 
 DAETMOUTH ROLL OF HONOR 
 
 its effectiveness in that supreme 
 hour of its history. As a soldier 
 he was fearless and brave, the peer 
 of any one, and died as he had 
 lived — a true Christian, a courte- 
 ous gentleman, and a brave soldier."

 1849. Joseph Opdyke Hudnut: 
 Was commissioned major of the 
 Thirty-eighth Regiment Iowa Vol- 
 unteers in September, 1802; was 
 immediately proiiioted and left for 
 the field as lieutenant-colonel. 
 Brevetted colonel March 9, 1804, 
 and brigadier-general, March 13, 
 1805. 
 
 The regiment was first ordered to 
 Benton Barracks, St. Louis, ^lo. 
 After remaining a few days at St. 
 Louis it was ordered to proceed to 
 New Madrid, Mo., and take posses- 
 sion of the fort. The regiment was 
 mostly made up of mechanics, and 
 had soon displayed the practical 
 nature of the Northern soldier by 
 rebuilding the barracks and gim 
 carriages, and putting the fort into 
 war shape. In December, 1802, 
 Colonel Hudnut, with the regiment, 
 joined an expedition into Kentucky 
 and western Tennessee, which had 
 for its object the interception of 
 the rebel General Forrest. Here the 
 skill of the railroad men of the 
 regiment came into play in the 
 prompt rebuilding of the barracks 
 and intrenchments burned by For- 
 rest in his retreat. On returning to 
 New Madrid the regiment was or- 
 dered to join Major-General Her- 
 ron's command, which, with General 
 Blunt's Division, formed the Army 
 of the Frontier of about 13,000 men, 
 who campaigned in southwestern 
 Missouri, engaging Price's and Mar- 
 maduke's commands. Early in 
 May, 1863, General Herron's com- 
 mand joined General Grant's forces 
 before Vicksburg. On the fall of 
 that stronghold, July 4, 1803, the 
 whole command joined in the move- 
 ment to capture General Johnston's 
 forces. On returning to Vicks- 
 burg the command was at once 
 ordered to join General Banks be- 
 fore Port Hudson. Here the regi- 
 
 ment suffered greatly from sickness. 
 For some time after this the regi- 
 ment did service at Brownsville, 
 Tex., and was engaged in building 
 the railroad from Brownsville to 
 Brazos. The regiment was called 
 the " Railroad Regiment." After 
 completing the railroad the regi- 
 ment was ordered to New Orleans 
 and took a prominent part in Can- 
 by's expedition to Fort Gaines and 
 Fort Morgan. From this time 
 Colonel Hudnut was kept on de- 
 tached service, mostly engineering, 
 until an order came for all officers 
 absent from their regiments on de- 
 tached service to applj' to the near- 
 est mustering officer for honorable 
 discharge. On strength of General 
 Herron's despatch to the depart- 
 ment, " that Brazos was no longer 
 an island, as Colonel Hudnut's en- 
 gineering skill had annexed it to 
 the mainland of Texas," he was 
 brevetted brigadier-general.

 having completed its three years' 
 service. During its term of service 
 it lost 41 commissioned officers and 
 658 men killed, wounded, and miss- 
 ing. The services of Surgeon Jew- 
 ett were so well appreciated that 
 he was offered an appointment as 
 surgeon in the regular army, which 
 he declined. While surgeon of the 
 Sixteenth he performed one of the 
 first successful amputations at the 
 hip joint, and after being placed in

 missioned by President Lincoln 
 surgeon to the Board of Enrolment 
 of the First Congressional District 
 of New York. About this time he 
 published the first American work 
 on military hygiene, entitled " Hints 
 on Health in Armies," which was 
 followed by " A Manual for Mili- 
 tary Surgeons." Between the pub- 
 lication of these two volumes he 
 went to Europe, and collected mate- 
 rial for a " Report on Pensions and 
 Disabled Soldiers," founded upon 
 the military systems of European 
 governments. This report, which 
 was intended for the use of the 
 Committees on Military Affairs of 
 the Senate and House, was the 
 result of over a year's labor and 
 correspondence with foreign govern- 
 ments. On the last call for troops 
 Dr. Ordronaux accepted the posi- 
 tion of surgeon of the Fifteenth 
 Regiment New Y'ork Militia, and 
 started for the field, but was de- 
 tained with his regiment, guarding 
 the approaches to New York Har-

 unfortunate conflict between the 
 governor of New York and the Sec-

 bandment of the regiment, after the 
 short service of a month.

 able force. A fierce engagement 
 ensued in which the enemy was de- 
 feated and totally routed, with

 Rust, whose command, after an en- 
 gagement of about thirty minutes,

 ruary, 1864, had " been more than 
 two years in the service of his coun- 
 try on board ship, witnessing and 
 aiding the encouraging progress 
 implied in the fact that when he 
 went out our government had no 
 foothold in the Gulf, west of the 
 Tortugas, except Ship Island; while 
 in two years only Mobile and Gal- 
 veston remained to be occupied." 
 About the last of May, 1864, he

 being twenty-two candidates, of 
 whom only two passed a satisfac- 
 tory examination. Was ordered as 
 surgeon to California in March, 
 1857, and sent to a post in the ex- 
 treme north of the State — Fort 
 Crook, Shasta Co. Here he re- 
 mained three years, and in May, 
 
 1860, returned home on sick leave, 
 and repaired to Magnolia, Fla.,

 the Forty-second Regiment Massa- 
 chusetts Volunteers, and went into 
 camp, but resigned his position be- 
 fore the regiment left for the seat 
 of war, on account of impaired 
 health. During the rest of that 
 year he was under appointment as 
 surgeon to examine volunteers. In 
 July, 1863, he was appointed as- 
 sistant examining surgeon under 
 the conscription act, and in Sep- 
 tember, 1863, was physician to the 
 Discharged Soldiers' Home.

 posed, June 27, 1862, in the battle 
 of Gaines Mills before lliclniiond. 
 A comrade wrote to his sister as 
 follows, letter being dated July 5, 
 1802 : " Your letter came for your 
 brother by to-day's mail, but he was 
 not here to receive it. On Friday 
 of last week, June 27th, we were 
 called up in line of battle to receive 
 the enemy. They came on and we 
 fought about two hours, when the 
 enemy made a desperate charge on 
 our right Hank, driving us back, 
 and killing a great many; the men 
 went in every direction. Your 
 brother when last seen was across 
 the Chickahominy, with a few 
 others. The rebels were then charg- 
 ing in that direction, but your 
 brother said he would die before he 
 gave up, and it is supposed he was 
 there killed or taken prisoner. He 
 has not been see'n or heard from 
 since." That is the last known of 
 him. 
 
 1853. Moses Thurston Runnels: 
 Was appointed in the spring of 
 1864 as captain's clerk under Capt., 
 afterwards U. S. Admiral, Theo. P. 
 Greene, U. S. Navy, and served 
 nearly four months in the East 
 Gulf Squadron, chiefly on board 
 the U. S. S. "San Jacinto," till 
 sent home on account of yellow 
 fever breaking out at Key West, 
 Fla. Though participating in no 
 naval engagements, he had his regu- 
 larly assigned duties on board ship, 
 drew his allotted share of prize- 
 money for blockade runners cap- 
 tured, was dressed in the United 
 States naval uniform, and was hon- 
 orably discharged. Died March 18, 
 in02. 
 
 1853. Nathaniel Lord Upham: 
 In 1861-1862 was pastor of a church 
 at Flemington, N. J., filling the 
 place of the former pastor, who had 
 gone to the front as chaplain. 
 While there the Thirty-fifth New 
 Jersey Veteran Volunteers was 
 raised, of which he became the 
 chaplain, and went with them to 
 Washington, and from there to Cin- 
 
 cinnati and Kentucky. The regi-- 
 ment then went up the Tennessee 
 River to Pittsburg Landing, and 
 later from Union City, Tenn., to 
 Vicksburg; then moved across the 
 State to Meridian, Miss., in connec- 
 tion with the Seventeenth Army 
 Corps, Gen. Frank P. Blair com- 
 manding. Returning from there, 
 the regiment was in the Atlanta 
 campaign and with Sherman on his 
 march to the sea, being attached to 
 the First Brigade, Second Division, 
 Sixteenth Army Corps, Army of the 
 Tennessee, under the command of 
 General MePherson, and after his 
 death under the command of Gen. 
 0. O. Howard. Chaplain Upham 
 writes that no regiment, to his 
 knowledge, was called to pass 
 through more vicissitudes, in eight 
 months preparatory to the Atlanta 
 movement, making and breaking 
 camp in seven difi'erent States, be- 
 sides crossing two on foot — Miss- 
 issippi and Alabama, and Missis- 
 sippi twice. The loss of the regi- 
 ment was very hea\y at Resaca, 
 Ga., while engaged in forcing Gen- 
 eral Johnston back along the rail- 
 road from Dal ton ; after which, 
 with the exception of a brief delay 
 at Kenesaw Mountain, in July and 
 August, the regiment was practi- 
 cally under fire to the September 
 following, when the city was evacu- 
 ated. 
 1853. Edward Jessup Wood: 
 Was commissioned as captain on 
 the 25 th of November, 1861, hav- 
 ing previously raised a company for 
 the Fortj^-eighth Indiana Infantry, 
 then rendezvousing at Goshen. 
 The regiment left camp early in 
 1862, and was stationed at Padu- 
 cah, Ky., till the latter part of 
 April, in post and garrison duty, 
 during which time Captain Wood 
 was provost marshal of the city. 
 The regiment was present during 
 the siege and evacuation of Corinth, 
 Miss., by the rebels under Beaure- 
 gard. Its mettle was first tested 
 Sept. 19, 1862, at luka. Miss,,

 DARTMOUTH EOLL OF HONOR 
 
 where a single brigade withstood 
 the attack of Price's whole army 
 for nearly three hours, forcing 
 them to withdraw under cover of 
 night. It lost forty killed, and 
 heavily in wounded, among the lat- 
 ter Col. John B. Sanborn (a Dart- 
 mouth student in 1862). The 
 Forty-eighth also participated in 
 the battle of Corinth Oct. 3 and 4, 
 
 1862. A vacancy occurring, Cap- 
 tain Wood received a commission 
 as major Oct. 20, 1862. In Novem- 
 ber the regiment formed a part of 
 the expedition under General Grant, 
 which started for the rear of Vicks- 
 burg. Miss., by land, but Van 
 Dorn's successful raid on Holly 
 Springs caused the expedition to 
 be abandoned at Granada, Miss. 
 Concentrating near Memphis, Tenn., 
 it was afterwards assigned to the 
 Seventeenth Army Corps, under 
 Major-General McPherson, and 
 embarking March 1, 1863, from 
 Memphis, it shared in the Yazoo 
 Pass expedition, and finally made 
 the march from Milliken's Bend, 
 La., above Vicksburg, to a point op- 
 posite Grand Gulf below, crossed 
 the river, and was in all but one 
 of the battles of that brief but 
 glorious campaign, which termi- 
 nated in the close investment and 
 subsequent fall of Vicksburg. In 
 April, 1863, Major Wood was ap- 
 pointed to the lieutenant-colonelcy 
 of the regiment, and in July, 1863, 
 to the colonelcy. In September, 
 
 1863, as a part of Gen. John E. 
 Smith's division, was ordered up 
 the river from Vicksburg to Helena, 
 to support General Steele's ad- 
 vance on Little Rock, and subse- 
 quently as a part of General Sher- 
 man's Fifteenth Army Corps, to 
 march across the country to re-en- 
 force our army at Chattanooga, 
 Tenn., arriving in time to assist in 
 that important campaign. In De- 
 cember, 1863, he wrote to the sec- 
 retary of his class that " the gal- 
 lant few of the regiment that were 
 left — only 200 being fit for duty 
 
 — are ready to re-enlist as veteran 
 volunteers." Died, 1873. 
 
 1853. Charles Augustus Young: 
 While professor in Western Reserve 
 College, Hudson 0., having pre- 
 viously drilled a company of stu- 
 dents for eight months, he offered 
 his services to Governor Tod. In 
 June, 1862, he was elected and com- 
 missioned cajDtain, and mustered in 
 with his men as Company B, 
 Eighty-fifth Ohio Volunteers, and 
 assigned to State service, and was 
 occujjied at Camp Chase, near Co- 
 lumbus, till Aug. 26, 1862, guarding 
 rebel prisoners, when they were de- 
 tailed as escort to about twelve 
 hundred who were paroled and sent 
 to Vicksburg for exchange. This 
 was a very long and unpleasant 
 trip, running the gauntlet of gueril- 
 las, though under a flag of truce, 
 but the regiment arrived safely at 
 camj) October 1, with a loss during 
 the service of only two of its men. 
 He was mustered out Oct. 5, 1862. 
 After the dissolution of the regi- 
 ment as a three months' organiza- 
 tion, Captain Young was off'ered a 
 commission as major in the regi- 
 ment — which was re-organized for 
 three years — but declined to accept 
 it.

 paign, and at the battles of Frank- 
 lin and Nashville. He was trans- 
 ferred to North Carolina, and was 
 at the surrender of Gen. J. E. John- 
 ston. The regiment was in the 
 First Brigade, Third Division, 
 Twenty-third Army Corps. At the 
 close of the war he was surgeon of 
 the division. 
 
 1854. Hiram Benjamin Crosby: 
 Enlisted Aug. 23, 1862, in Company 
 
 C, Eighteenth Regiment Connecticut 
 Volunteers, and was transferred 
 August 20 to the Twenty-first Regi- 
 ment Connecticut Volunteers, and 
 commissioned lieutenant and ad- 
 jutant the same day ; promoted to 
 major Sept. 3, 1802; lieutenant- 
 colonel June 8, 1864; colonel, June 
 28, 1864. 
 
 The regiment was attached to the 
 Ninth Army Corps and Colonel 
 Crosby served for a time on the 
 staff of Gen. 0. B. Wilcox. 
 
 Colonel Crosby won reputation 
 as a military engineer and was oc- 
 cupied as such during the fall of 
 1863 in the reconstruction of the 
 fortifications at Newbern and Lit- 
 tle Washington, N. C. He rejoined 
 his regiment in the spring of 1864, 
 and served with it in the Army of 
 the James until his discharge on the 
 14th of September, 18G4. 
 1854. John Eaton: Was appointed 
 chaplain of the Twenty-seventh 
 Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and in the 
 autumn of 1861 he was taken pris- 
 oner at Lexington, Mo. When our 
 troops retired from Springfield, 
 Mo., he volunteered to stay behind 
 with Col., afterwards Maj.-Gen., 
 J. W. Fuller, of Toledo, 0., who 
 was sick and expected to die; be- 
 coming again a prisoner in the 
 Confederate lines, and while there 
 was called upon to preach to Con- 
 federate soldiers. The colonel, how- 
 ever, recovered, and they were both 
 allowed to reach the Union lines at 
 Rolla in safety. In 1862 he became 
 brigade sanitary inspector. He was 
 appointed by General Grant, Nov. 
 11, 1862, to be superintendent of 
 the colored people, Avho came into 
 his lines by thousands and tens of 
 thousands in Northern Alabama, 
 Western Tennessee, and Northern 
 Mississippi. His supervision ex- 
 tended with the operations of the 
 Army of the Tennessee from Cairo 
 to the mouth of the Red River and 
 up the Arkansas to Fort Smith, 
 and came to embrace also the care 
 of the thousands of white refugees 
 
42 
 
 DAETMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE 
 
 that flocked to the Federal lines, and 
 who were furnished food, clothing, 
 and medicines, and sent to places of 
 safety. He had an office and force 
 of assistants at each military post. 
 Under his administration the col- 
 ored people were, as far as possible, 
 made self-supporting, and all pos- 
 sible forms of industry were devised 
 for them. They were cooks, nurses 
 in the hospitals, laborers in the 
 army; and thousands of cabins 
 were built, wood cut, cotton, corn, 
 and vegetables raised. Marriage 
 obligations were enforced, schools 
 were established, in which benevo- 
 lent teachers from the North did 
 great service. These schools be- 
 came largely self-supporting. His 
 camps, it is estimated, furnished 
 over 70,000 colored soldiers. Gen- 
 eral Grant, in his personal memoirs, 
 refers to this service of Chaplain 
 Eaton as follows: "It was at this 
 point, probably, Avhere the first idea 
 of a Freedmen's Bureau took its 
 origin. Orders of the government 
 prohibited the expulsion of the 
 negroes from the protection of the 
 army when they came in volun- 
 tarily. Humanity forbade allowing 
 them to starve. . . . The planta- 
 tions were all deserted; the cotton 
 and corn were ripe ; men, women, 
 and children above ten years of age 
 could be employed in saving these 
 crops. To do this work with contra- 
 bands, or to have it done, organi- 
 zation under a competent chief was 
 necessary. On inquiring for such 
 a man, Chaplain Eaton, now and for 
 many years the very able United 
 States Commissioner of Education, 
 was suggested. He proved as effi- 
 cient in that field as he has since 
 done in his present one." Oct. 9, 
 1863, he was mustered out as chap- 
 lain of the Twenty-seventh Ohio 
 Volunteer Infantry; Oct. 10, 1863, 
 he was mustered in as colonel of the 
 Sixty-third United States Colored 
 Infantry. Was appointed brigadier- 
 general by brevet IMarch 13, 1865; 
 and May 27, 1865, assistant commis- 
 
 sioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, 
 and ordered to Washington, D. C. 
 He was mustered out and honorably 
 discharged from the service Dec. 
 20, 1805. 
 
 1854. Simeoii Dow Farnsworth: 
 Was appointed from New Hamp- 
 shire additional paymaster United 
 States Volunteers, with rank of 
 major, Nov. 26, 1862. Resigned 
 April 26, 1864. He died at Prairie 
 du Chien, Wis., March 6, 1868. 
 
 1854. Daniel Hall: Was appointed 
 in March, 1862, captain and aide- 
 de-camp in U. S. Army on the staff 
 of Gen. J. C. Fremont; after Gen- 
 eral Fremont's removal from com- 
 mand, he was transferred to the 
 staff of Gen. A. W. Whipple, com- 
 manding the military defences of 
 Arlington Heights. In September, 
 General 'Whipple joined the Army 
 of the Potomac. During the Antie- 
 tam campaign Captain Hall served 
 with General Whipple, commanding 
 the Third Division, Third Army 
 Corps, Army of the Potomac, and 
 participated in the campaigns of 
 Fredericksburg and Chancellors- 
 ville. General Whipple being killed 
 at Chancellorsville, Captain Hall 
 was then transferred to the staff 
 of Gen. 0. 0. Howard, commanding 
 the Eleventh Army Corps, and was 
 with him in the campaign and bat- 
 tle of Gettysburg. He served in 
 various staff capacities until the 
 winter of 1863, and in 1864 was 
 appointed provost marshal of the 
 First District of New Hampshire, 
 and continued as such till the end 
 of the war, enlisting 4000 men in 
 the army and navy. He was 
 slightly wounded at Gettysburg. 
 
 1854. Franklin Aretas Haskell: 
 Was appointed, June 20, 1861, adju- 
 tant of the Sixth Regiment Wiscon- 
 sin Volunteers. Tliis regiment was 
 a part of the famous Iron Brigade 
 of the Army of the Potomac. Lieu- 
 tenant Haskell was connected with 
 this organization, or served as aide 
 to Gen. John Gibbon, until Febru- 
 ary, 1864, when he was commis- 
 
DAETMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE 
 
 43 
 
 sioned colonel of the Thirty-sixth 
 Wisconsin Regiment, which was as- 
 signed to General Hancock's corps. 
 The regiment joined the Army of 
 the Potomac a short time before 
 General Grant advanced on Rich- 
 mond in ^lay, 1804. In the bloody 
 battle of Cold Harbor, June 3, 186-1, 
 Colonel Haskell was killed while 
 fighting at the head of his regiment. 
 None of the graduates of Dart- 
 mouth who served in the Union 
 Army had a more splendid record 
 than Colonel Haskell. The Iron 
 Brigade was one of the best known 
 organizations in the army, and 
 had for commanders such soldiers 
 as General Gibbon and General 
 Bragg. While connected with this 
 brigade, or on the staffs of various 
 generals, Lieutenant Haskell partici- 
 pated in all the battles in which 
 the Army of the Potomac was en- 
 gaged imtil his promotion. It was 
 at Gettysburg, however, that he 
 showed sucli conspicuous gallantry 
 as to merit the highest encomiums 
 from Generals Hancock and Gibbon. 
 In General Hancock's official report 
 of the battle he says : " I desire par- 
 ticularly to refer to the services 
 of a gallant young officer, First 
 Lieut. F. A. Haskell, aide-de-camp 
 to Brigadier-General Gibbon, who, 
 at a critical period of the battle 
 when the contending forces vt'ere 
 but fifty or sixty yards apart, believ- 
 ing that an example was necessary, 
 and ready to sacrifice his life, rode 
 between the contending lines with 
 the view to giving encouragement 
 to ours, and led it forward, he 
 being at that moment the only 
 mounted officer in a similar posi- 
 tion. He was slightly woimded and 
 his horse was shot in several 
 places." 
 
 General Gibbon says in his report : 
 " I desire to call particular atten- 
 tion to the manner in which several 
 of the subordinate reports mention 
 the services of my gallant aide, 
 Lieut. F. A. Haskell, and to add 
 my testimony to his valuable ser- 
 
 vices. It has always been a source 
 of regret to me that our military 
 system offers no plan for reward- 
 ing his merits and services as they 
 deserve." In a private letter to 
 the compiler of this sketch dated 
 Oct. 2G, 1894, General Gibbon says: 
 " Haskell was a magnificent soldier 
 whose career was a very jjromising 
 one, and he would undoubtedly have 
 risen to higher rank, I think, but 
 for his death. He served on my 
 staff for over a year; was with 
 me at Gettysburg, and in my opin- 
 ion had more to do with the re- 
 pulse of Pickett's charge than any 
 other one man in our army." y>^ 
 
 After the battle of Gettysburg '"/^ 
 Haskell wrote his brother a very 
 full account of the battle, v/hich is 
 as graphic and thrilling as anything 
 that has been published. 
 
 Some of his sentences show that 
 General Gibbon's estimate of his 
 services was correct, and that he 
 well deserved the promotion that 
 soon came to him. 
 
 A brief quotation will suffice to 
 show how fully he appreciated the 
 situation at the crucial hour, and 
 rose to the occasion. The time was 
 during Pickett's famous assault, and 
 when Webb's brigade seemed to be 
 wavering : 
 
 " The larger portion of Webb's 
 brigade, there by the group of trees 
 and the angles of the wall, was 
 breaking from the cover of their 
 works, and without orders or rea- 
 son, with no hand lifted to check 
 them, was falling back, a fear- 
 stricken flock of confusion ! The 
 fate of Gettysburg hung upon a 
 spider's single thread! 
 
 " A great, magnificent passion 
 came on me at the instant, — not 
 one that overpowers and confounds, 
 but one that blanches the face and 
 sublimes every sense and faculty. 
 My sword, that had always hung 
 idle by my side, the sign of rank 
 only, in every battle, I drew, bright 
 and gleaming, — the signal of com- 
 mand. All rules and proprieties 
 
44 
 
 DAETMOUTH EOLL OF HOXOE 
 
 were forgotten; all considerations 
 of person and danger and safety 
 despised. I ordered these men to 
 halt and face about and fire, and 
 they heard my voice and gathered 
 my meaning and obeyed my com- 
 mand." 
 1854. Rufus Osgood Mason: Was 
 appointed acting assistant surgeon 
 U. S. Navy Oct. 21, 1861, and re- 
 ported to Commander Samuel L. 
 Breese, Brooklyn navy yard, Oct. 
 25, 1861. He was ordered to 
 U. S. S. "Santiago de Cuba" 
 Oct. 28, 1861; was detached; ship 
 went out of service about Jan. 15, 
 1864. He resigned Feb. 3, 1864. 
 He kept a journal throughout, which 
 he now has. Dr. Mason was the 
 only medical officer serving on 
 board the " Santiago de Cuba " dur- 
 ing the entire time she was in com- 
 mission, and the service was a very 
 active and often arduous one, the 
 vessel being nearly always on de- 
 tached and special duty in tlie Gulf 
 of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, amongst 
 the Bahamas and West India Is- 
 lands, and cruising in the Atlantic 
 north of these islands. The vessel 
 sailed from New York Nov. 11, 
 1861, under sealed orders, with 
 Commander D. B. Ridgely in com- 
 mand. Her orders took her first to 
 Havana, and then into the Gulf of 
 Mexico, where, Dec. 7, 1861, were 
 captured the Confederate agents, 
 Zacliery and Rogers. They were on 
 board a vessel flying the English 
 flag, disguised as sailors ; but, being 
 recognized by some of the officers, 
 they were permitted to change their 
 clothing, and were then taken on 
 board the " Santiago de Cuba." 
 Rogers was so profane and abusive 
 that it was necessary to put him in 
 irons; Zaehery was collapsed with 
 fear. A search resulted in finding 
 a large amount of Confederate bonds 
 and money and memoranda of ar- 
 mies and army stores to be pur- 
 chased, pilot-charts for Confederate 
 ports to which they were to be 
 taken, and the names of the vessels 
 
 to be employed, one of which, the 
 " Victory," had been already cap- 
 tured, and a prize crew was taking 
 her into port. The prisoners were 
 taken in irons and delivered over to 
 the commander of the fort. At this 
 time the merchant marine was 
 greatly disturbed by the depreda- 
 tions of the formidable Confederate 
 cruiser " 290," afterwards known 
 as the " Alabama." The orders 
 were to search for this vessel, and, 
 if found, to engage and capture or 
 destroy her. For nearly six months 
 while on this duty, the " Santiago " 
 met the outward bound California 
 steamers from New York at Mari- 
 guana, near the Northern limit of 
 the Bahamas, and convoyed them 
 through the narrow passages 
 amongst these islands, where the 
 Confederate cruisers might lie in 
 wait and easily capture or destroy 
 them. At one time the " Santiago " 
 was ordered to report to Admiral 
 Farragut at Ship Island, to join 
 the expedition against New Orleans, 
 but before the expedition sailed was 
 sent on other duty, just missing 
 that brilliant and important enter- 
 prise. While the " Santiago de 
 Cuba " was in commission she cap- 
 tured nine vessels. Tlie incidents 
 connected with the capture of some 
 of these vessels were very amusing 
 and interesting. April 23, 1862, the 
 " Santiago de Cuba " had an ex- 
 citing though fruitless chase, the 
 hope being nothing less than to 
 capture the Confederate gunboat 
 " Nashville." She was cruising in 
 the Atlantic far off the Carolina 
 coast, when a steamer was made out 
 away to the north and west. At 
 first she came down to look the 
 Federals over, to see if the " San- 
 tiago de Cuba " might be one of the 
 California steamers, and a handsome 
 prize for her; but on making out 
 the vessels she lost no tiriie in chang- 
 ing her course and showing her heels 
 with all possible speed. The " San- 
 tiago de Cuba" also made her out 
 at the same time, and commenced a 
 
DARTMOUTH EOLL OF HONOE 
 
 45 
 
 most exciting race. She was soon 
 seen sending down her topmasts, and 
 clearing away everything that could 
 mar her speed ; the " Santiago de 
 Cuba " did the same, and every- 
 thing that could make hotter fires 
 was used without stint. It was 
 afterwards learned that the " Nash- 
 ville" tore up her bulkheads and 
 cabin woodwork to increase the 
 speed ; and the firemen on the " San- 
 tiago de Cuba " put in the pork, or 
 whatever would best serve. In this 
 case the labor was fruitless. The 
 ship had already been too long with- 
 out being overhauled and repaired, 
 and it was impossible for her to 
 obtain the necessary speed; and as 
 evening came on the enemy grad- 
 ually drew away and disappeared. 
 It was some consolation, however, to 
 capture, that same evening, a 
 schooner with 100 bales of cotton 
 aboard, and two days later the 
 " Ella Warley."

 works, take positions, and attack 
 the enemy's line. As the assault 
 proved a failure the batteries were 
 never sent forward. At the first

 1864, the right section of Battery 
 E, under the command of Lieuten- 
 ant Parker, fired the first cannon

 1857. Francis Henry Goodall, 
 C.S.D. : Enlisted in the Beloit Wis- 
 consin Rifles in 1801 for three 
 months. This company was at- 
 tached to the Second Wisconsin 
 Infantry, and was honorably dis- 
 charged in May, 1861, a majority 
 of the company not being willing 
 to enlist for three years. Mr. Good- 
 all was one of the few who did en- 
 list for three years and was first 
 sergeant of the company. In Au- 
 gust, 1862, at the earnest solicita- 
 tion of his friend, A. E. Hutchins, 
 class 1857, he returned to New 
 Hampshire, and enlisted in the 
 Eleventh New Hampshire Volun- 
 teers on the 22d of that month, 
 and was made first sergeant of Com- 
 pany G; was with the regiment at 
 the battles of Fredericksburg, Va., 
 in December, 1862, and all the time 
 till April, 1863, when he was taken 
 sick with measles at Mount Ster- 
 ling, Ky., and was never fit for ac- 
 tive service afterwards; was hon- 
 orably discharged May 23, 1864. 
 January, 1863, Sergeant Goodall 
 was recommended by Lieutenant- 
 Colonel Collins for promotion, with 
 very complimentary references. In 
 the history of the Eleventh New 
 Hampshire, mention is made of the 
 heroic conduct of Sergeant Goodall 
 in carrying, from the field of battle, 
 at Fredericksburg, the body of Ser- 
 geant Pingree, who was badly 
 wounded in that battle. Lieuten- 
 ant Goodall succeeded in getting 
 him safely over the river, from 
 which place he was sent home. 
 For this act Sergeant Goodall was 
 awarded a medal of honor under 
 resolution of Congress, approved 
 July 12, 1862. 
 
 1857. Henry Moses Pollard, 
 C.S.D. : Was commissioned first 
 lieutenant Eighth Vermont Infantry 
 in July, 1863, the regiment being 
 in service in Louisiana, under Gen- 
 
 eral Banks. Lieutenant Pollard was 
 with the regiment at Bisland and 
 Port Hudson, although he had not 
 then been mustered into the United 
 States service. Soon after being 
 mustered he was assigned to duty 
 on the staff of Gen. Godfrey Weitzel. 
 During the winter of 1863 and 1864 
 the regiment re-enlisted, and in 
 February, 1864, went to Vermont 
 on veteran furlough, thereby escap- 
 ing the dangers of the Red River 
 campaign. The regiment returned, 
 after the expiration of the furlough, 
 to Louisiana, but had hardly ar- 
 rived there, when, with the rest of 
 the Nineteenth Corps, they were 
 ordered north by water. The corps 
 was to report to General Grant at 
 City Point, but, on account of the 
 invasion of the Shenandoah Valley 
 by the rebel General Early, it was 
 immediately sent to Washington, 
 and was engaged in the Valley cam- 
 paign for the rest of the season. 
 Lieutenant Pollard had in the mean- 
 time been promoted to a captaincy, 
 and served on the staff of Gen. Wm. 
 Dwight, who commanded the First 
 Division of the Nineteenth Corps, 
 participating in the battles of Ope- 
 quan, Fisher's Hill, and Cedar 
 Creek, which followed each other 
 in quick succession. Soon after 
 the battle of Cedar Creek, when the 
 Eighth Vermont was terribly cut 
 to pieces, the division went into 
 camp near Winchester, Va., and 
 there remained giiarding the en- 
 trance to the Shenandoah till April, 
 1865, when the division was dis- 
 rupted, the Eighth Vermont going 
 to Washington; in the winter of 
 1864 and 1865 Captain Pollard wa3 
 promoted to the majority of the 
 regiment, the regiment remaining 
 around Washington, participating 
 in the grand review, and doing duty 
 till the end of June, when, the war 
 being over, it was mustered out of 
 service. While in Louisiana Major 
 Pollard and the surgeon of the regi- 
 ment came into possession of two 
 very bright colored boys, named

 Henry and Scott Montgomery, who 
 came to Vermont with the regiment 
 at the end of the war. Both boys 
 afterwards were well educated (one 
 at Dartmouth College) and became 
 well-known teachers. Died Feb. 24, 
 1904.

 Oct. 19, 1862, to date Aug. 13, 1862; 
 surgeon, Oct. 28, 1864; mustered 
 out June 28, 1865. The Fifth New 
 Hampshire was one of the fighting 
 regiments of the Army of the Poto- 
 mac, and Colonel Fox, in his work 
 on "Regimental Losses in the Civil 
 War," says : " The one regiment in 
 all the Union armies which sus- 
 tained the greatest loss in battle 
 during the American Civil War was 
 the Fifth New Hampshire Infan- 
 try." A service on the surgical staff 
 of this regiment involved arduous 
 and self-sacrificing labors.

 a large part of its service connected 
 with the Ninth Army Corps. While

 three years of his service the regi- 
 ment was connected witli the Ver- 
 mont Brigade, which was in all the 
 heavy fighting of the Army of the 
 Potomac, and suifered severe losses. 
 The duties of a surgeon in such a 
 regiment were most trying, and such 
 as demanded great skill. 
 
 1857. Story Norman Goss, D.M.C. :

 the rebels Sept. 14, 1862. Assist- 
 ant Surgeon Goss joined the regi- 
 ment at Chicago, to which place the 
 officers and men had been sent as 
 paroled prisoners of war. After an 
 exchange was aflected, Jan. 10, 1863,

 1858. William Lawrence Baker, 
 C.S.D. : In honor of whom a schol- 
 arship has been given the Chandler 
 Scientific Department by his aunt 
 and mother by adoption, Mrs. Caro- 
 line Lawrence of Winsted, Conn., 
 was the son of Hon. Osmyn Baker. 
 With the purpose of becoming a 
 civil engineer he entered the Chand- 
 ler Department in 1854, and was 
 graduated at the age of nineteen. 
 When it was evident that Civil War 
 was at hand he applied for a com- 
 mission in the regular army, and 
 was offered his choice between a 
 
 captain's and a lieutenant's com- 
 mission. Since he " preferred to 
 win promotion on his merits " he 
 accepted the latter, and at the age 
 of twenty-one was commissioned 
 second lieutenant of artillery in 
 August, 1861. Joining Company K, 
 Fourth United States Artillery, he 
 remained at Washington till Decem- 
 ber, meanwhile being promoted first 
 lieutenant. From Washington he 
 was ordered to western Virginia, 
 where, under General Lander, his 
 battery did efficient service at the 
 battle of Romney. L'pon General 
 Lander's death he was placed under 
 General Shields in Banks's corps, 
 and in the battle of Winchester his 
 bearing was that of a veteran. The 
 Confederates having made an unex- 
 pected movement towards his bat- 
 tery for the purpose of capturing 
 it. Lieutenant Baker sighted the 
 guns and discharged them with such 
 deadly effect that the assailants 
 were repulsed. At the battle of 
 Port Republic Lieutenant Baker 
 won for himself deserved praise for 
 the coolness and judgment dis- 
 played by him in the face of over- 
 whelming odds. At Bull Run a 
 cannon ball carried away his blan- 
 ket and a part of his saddle. When 
 the Confederates crossed the Poto- 
 mac he joined in the advance to 
 drive them out. The last heard of 
 him was that he was with his bat- 
 tery at Antietam. There is no cer- 
 tain account of the manner of his 
 death, but he was found pierced 
 with two bullets, one having passed 
 from shoulder to shoulder, severing 
 the spinal column, the other having 
 pierced his heart. Thus bravely 
 died one of " Old Dartmouth's " 
 many patriotic sons whose names 
 fitly make a " Roll of Honor." 
 1858. Augustus Blodgett Clark:

 and mustered into the United States 
 service at Brattleboro, September 
 21; promoted to captain Company 
 K, same regiment, Nov. 5, 1862, and 
 mustered out Sept. 30, 1864. The 
 Fourth Vermont was one of six 
 regiments that composed the First 
 Vermont Brigade, and to have be- 
 longed to such an organization was 
 a high honor. Col. W. F. Fox, in 
 his elaborate work entitled " Regi- 
 mental Losses in the American 
 Civil War," gives a list of eight 
 " famous " brigades made pre- 
 eminent by their losses in action. 
 In this list the First Vermont Bri- 
 gade stands first. " The greatest 
 loss of life," says Colonel Fox, " in 
 any one brigade during the war 
 occurred in the Vermont Brigade." 
 From over two thousand regiments 
 in the Union Armies, Colonel Fox 
 selects three hundred as the " fight- 
 ing regiments " which lost from 134 
 to 224 men each, killed and died of 
 wounds. Of these Vermont fur- 
 nished nine, and the Fourth was 
 among them. Captain Fisher was 
 with his regiment in the battles of 
 the Peninsula, Antietam, Freder- 
 icksburg, Marye's Heights, Gettys- 
 burg, Funkstown, Rappahannock 
 Station, and the Wilderness, where 
 he was wounded. He returned at 
 the close of the three years' service 
 and was mustered out with such of 
 the regiment as did not re-enlist. 
 Died March 26, 1895.

 1858. Edwin Brant Frost: Was 
 commissioned captain Company A, 
 Tenth Regiment Vermont Volun- 
 teers, July 7, 1862, and mustered into 
 the United States service Sept. 1, 
 1862, at Brattleboro ; killed in action 
 at Spottsylvania Court House June 
 3, 1864. The regiment left for 
 the front September 6, and took 
 with it, among other camp equipage, 
 a library of 200 volumes, the gift of 
 Captain Frost. It is not known that 
 any other Vermont regiment was so 
 equipped. In the fall and winter of 
 1862-1863 the regiment was engaged 
 in guarding the fords of the Upper 
 Potomac. Soon after the battle of 
 Gettysburg the regiment was or- 
 dered to join the army of the Poto- 
 mac, and Morris's brigade, to which 
 it belonged, was assigned to the 
 Third Division, Tliird Army Corps, 
 under General French. During the 
 fall of 1863 the brigade took part in 
 several sharp skirmishes along the 
 line of the Orange and Alexandria 
 Railroad, and crossed the Rappa- 
 hannock River November 7. On the 
 27th of the same month the regi- 
 ment was engaged in the battle of 
 Mine Run and suflFered severely. 
 The winter was spent at Brandy 
 Station. On the reorganization of 
 the Army of the Potomac the Third 
 Corps was broken up and Morris's 
 brigade became the First Brigade, 
 Third Division, Sixth Army Corps. 
 The division was commanded by 
 General Ricketts. In all the battles 
 of the Wilderness campaign the 
 regiment took a prominent part, 
 and Captain Frost was always at 
 his post of duty. On the 1st of 
 June he was acting major of his 
 regiment, and received the sword of 
 the major of the Fifty-fourth North 
 Carolina Rebel Regiment in surren- 
 der. In the a.ssault on the enemy's 
 works on the morning of June 3, 
 by the Second, Sixth, Ninth, and 
 
 Eighteenth Corps, Ricketts's divi- 
 sion was in the centre of the Sixth 
 Corps line, and was repulsed with 
 heavy loss, though it gained and 
 held positions within forty yards of 
 the enemy's works. In the charge 
 Captain Frost fell with two ghastly 
 wounds, and died five hours later. 
 Chaplain Arthur Little of the 
 Eleventh Vermont (Dart. Coll. 
 1860), his brother-in-law, was with 
 him when he died. He met his 
 death with fortitude, declaring with 
 almost his last breath that he was 
 " happy to die for his country and 
 his God." 
 
 1858. Samuel Lankton Gerould: 
 Enlisted Aug. 11, 1862, and was

 as clerk and reporter of a general 
 court-martial, convened in Wash- 
 ington for the trial of civilians in- 
 fringing the rules of war, and

 the year and a half he occupied

 1859. Wheelock Graves Veazey: 
 Enlisted as private in Company A, 
 Third Vermont Volunteers, May, 
 18G1, and on the organization of the 
 company was elected captain. Au- 
 gust 10, following, was promoted 
 to the rank of major, and after- 
 wards, on the recommendation of 
 Gen. ■' Baldy " Smith, he was com- 
 missioned lieutenant-colonel, Aug. 
 13, 1SG2. On September 7 he was 
 appointed colonel of the Sixteenth 
 Regiment Vermont Volunteers (a 
 nine months' regiment), and com- 
 manded it during its term of ser- 
 vice. During the more than two 
 years of his military experience 
 Colonel Veazey took part in all the 
 battles of the Army of the Potomac, 
 and on several occasions was placed 
 in command of regiments besides 
 his own. At Gettysburg, July 1, 
 2 and 3, 1863, the Sixteenth Ver- 
 mont was attached to the First 
 Army Corps under General Double- 
 day, forming a part of the Third 
 Division. In the second day's bat- 
 tle, near its close, his regiment was 
 in the thickest of the fight between 
 the corps of General Sickles and 
 that of the rebels under General 
 Hood. In this desperate and 
 bloody struggle, the Sixteenth Ver- 
 mont was largely instrumental in 
 checking the final onset of the 
 enemy. At the close of the second 
 day's battle Colonel Veazey was 
 appointed division field officer of 
 the day, and during the night fol- 
 lowing he had charge of the picket 
 line, which was posted from the vil- 
 lage of Gettysburg to the left to- 
 wards Round Top, directly across 
 the field where Sickles and Hood 
 had fought the preceding day. On 
 the third and last day of the de- 
 cisive conflict, Colonel Veazey and 
 his regiment occupied a position in 
 front of tlie left centre, and received 
 the first shock of Pickett's charge, 
 an assault, which, in historic im- 
 portance, has not been surpassed 
 
 since the charge of the " Old 
 Guard " at Waterloo. Pickett's 
 men were mainly veteran Virgin- 
 ians, the flower of the southern 
 army, and had not previously been 
 engaged. At first tliey marched to- 
 wards the Union centre. Under fire 
 of the Vermont soldiers in Stan- 
 nard's brigade, of which Veazey's 
 regiment formed a part, Pickett's 
 colunui was deflected to the left, and 
 received in flank the attack of the 
 Thirteenth and Sixteenth Vermont 
 regiments. The Confederate force 
 crumbled and withdrew with a 
 heavy loss. Veazey's leadership of 
 his regiment did much for the suc- 
 cess of the flank assaults, which 
 decided the battle. After the charge 
 on Pickett's flank, with quick mili- 
 tary instinct he saw his chance to 
 strike another advancing division of 
 the enemy. He received permission 
 from his chief to disregard a pre- 
 vious order and to execute his own 
 plan; he reformed liis lines with a 
 change of front, charged back over 
 four hundred yards, struck the 
 enemy in the flank, and made large 
 captures of men and colors and 
 arms. Colonel Veazey had a large 
 share in repelling the flnal Confed- 
 erate attack made under Wilcox. 
 Marching across the fleld under a 
 heavy fire of artillery he attacked 
 W^ilcox's flank, and, pressing on, 
 captured two stands of colors and 
 hundreds of prisoners. By vote of 
 the congress of the United States 
 Colonel Veazey received a medal of 
 honor in recognition of his gallant 
 service. With health badly shat- 
 tered Colonel Veazey returned to 
 Vermont in 1SG3, with his regiment, 
 at the expiration of its term of ser- 
 vice, and resumed the practice of 
 law. Died :March 22, ISOS.

 fantry to hea\y artillery, and, until

DARTMOUTH EOLL OF HONOR 
 
 75 
 
 that of a thorough disciplinarian 
 and accomplished soldier. In May, 
 1S04, tue regiment was ordered to 
 join the Army of the Potomac, 
 which was then fighting its way 
 through the wilderness towards 
 Richmond; it was assigned to the 
 Vermont Brigade, which General 
 Ayres said " could out march and 
 out fight " any brigade in the army. 
 About this time Major Chamber lin 
 was promoted to the office of lieu- 
 tenant-colonel, and was in command 
 of his regiment nearly all the time 
 until his death. He fought with 
 gallantry in all the battles, when 
 the Sixth Corps was ordered to 
 Washington to repel the Army of 
 General Early. For a few days the 
 regiment was in its old quarters in 
 the forts, and was preparing for 
 permanency, when it was ordered to 
 join General Sheridan in the Shen- 
 andoah Valley. On the morning of 
 Sunday, Aug. 21, near Charleston, 
 Va., while engaged in writing 
 to his wife, the order came to 
 Colonel Chamberlin to have his 
 regiment fall into line of battle.

 the skirmish line of the Vermont 
 Brigade, and almost before the 
 regiment was under fire, Colonel 
 Chamberlin was shot through the 
 body; he was removed to the hos- 
 pital at Sandy Hook, Md., and in 
 the early morning of Aug. 22, died 
 in the arms of Chaplain Little, his 
 classmate. There was something 
 almost pathetic in the last words 
 of his letter to his wife, which was 
 never finished: "We are in God's 
 hands, and his will is better than 
 our will ; Ave will love him and 
 trust him and be satisfied." Col. 
 A. F. Walker, who succeeded him in 
 command, says of him, in his his- 
 tory of the Vermont Brigade : " He 
 was surely ' sans peur et sans re- 
 proche; ' exaggeration was impos- 
 sible. In speaking of one who of- 
 fered such remarkable devotion 
 upon his country's altar, Vermont 
 should and always will cherish his 
 
 memory as that of one of her noblest 
 and bravest sons."

 his service the Twelfth Vermont was 
 in the defences of Washington, doing 
 duty on the line of the Orange and 
 Alexandria Railroad. The regiment 
 was ordered to join the Army of the 
 Potomac just before the battle of

 battle; but the regiment was or- 
 dered to guard the wagon train of 
 the Army of the Potomac, which it 
 took to Westminster, jNld., July 2,

 war Captain Cole carried into the 
 army tlie same thoroughness and 
 devotion to duty that had charac- 
 terized him in college. At the close 
 of his term of service he studied law 
 for a while in Cleveland, 0. ; but 
 his patriotic spirit gave him no rest 
 till he re-entered the service, this 
 time as major of the One Hundred 
 and Seventh Colored infantry. He 
 was mainly instrumental in raising 
 the regiment, which was largely 
 composed of former Kentucky 
 slaves. He was assigned to the 
 Army of the James, but was stricken 
 with malarial fever and died Jan. 
 7, 1865. In accordance with his ex- 
 pressed wish, that his remains should 
 rest in some soldiers' cemetery, he 
 was buried at Arlington, Va., where 
 representatives from four classes 
 with him in college followed his re- 
 mains to the grave. A beautiful 
 monument bears his name, with the 
 fitting epitaph, " He died as he had 
 lived, a brave soldier and a Chris- 
 tian gentleman."

 longed, was sent under Gen. W. F. 
 Smith to join the Army of the 
 Potomac under General Grant.

 march, the division was ordered at 
 once to charge the enemy's works. 
 In this charge Captain Farr was 
 very badly wounded by a musket 
 ball which lodged in the back near 
 the spine, entering near the shoul- 
 der, but after being in hospital, both 
 at White House Landing and in 
 Carver Hospital, in Washington, 
 D. C, for several months, he was

 men, and had he lived would have 
 obtained a high rank in the army. 
 His company was devotedly at- 
 tached to him, and his superiors

 sociates, bear witness to his high 
 character as a soldier and a man."

 lieutenant, Feb. 1, 1865, from which 
 date he had command of his com-

 in which his regiment participated, 
 the more important being South 
 Mountain, Antietam, Fredericks- 
 burg, siege of Vieksburg, Jackson, 
 Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold 
 Harbor, and the siege of Peters- 
 burg. The regiment was attached 
 to the Ninth Army Corps and served 
 in the Army of the Potomac and in 
 the Army of the West. From about 
 Aug. 25 to Dec. 25, 1863, Lieuten- 
 ant Burnham was in the hospi- 
 tals at Covington, Ky., and Camp 
 Denison, 0., as the result of a 
 fever contracted in Mississippi 
 swamps. On its return to Ken- 
 tucky from the Mississippi cam- 
 paign, the regiment was so crippled 
 by the sickness of its members that 
 it was put on detached duty, guard- 
 ing the Kentucky Central Railroad 
 during the remainder of that year, 
 which was its only period of light 
 duty. Lieutenant Burnham was 
 discharged from the hospital about 
 December 20 and assigned to the 
 Veteran Reserve Corps, but not lik- 
 ing this service, he deserted, and 
 made his way to his regiment and 
 reported for duty. It was a deser- 
 tion of an unusual sort and had 
 something to do with subsequent 
 promotions. Soon after rejoining 
 the Ninth New Hampshire, the regi- 
 ment was ordered to Knoxville, 
 Tenn., and not long after the Ninth 
 Corps was sent to Virginia. The 
 regiment began the Wilderness cam- 
 paign Avith 550 men in the ranks, 
 and a proportionate number of offi- 
 
 cers, and before its close its casu- 
 alties in killed, wounded, and miss- 
 ing, together with those sent to the 
 hospital, exceeded the number with 
 which it started out. Lieutenant 
 Burnham writes that he never re- 
 gretted his desertion, notwithstand- 
 ing the hardships which the regi- 
 ment endured. He was slightly 
 wounded two or three times, but 
 not seriously. Died April 17, 1898,

 ously in this regiment, and of the 
 original one thousand men who left 
 Massachusetts in 1861 (this being 
 the first three years' regiment in 
 the field from Massachusetts) he 
 was one of less than one hundred 
 men who returned with it in 1865. 
 The regiment during the war re- 
 ceived seventeen hundred recruits, 
 making in all twenty-seven hun- 
 dred men that served in the regi- 
 ment. In the Shenandoah cam- 
 paign, in 1862, the Second Mas- 
 sachusetts covered Banks' retreat, 
 and its losses were very heavy. 
 During this retreat Mr. Morse, with 
 others, was captured, and spent four 
 months at Belle Isle and other 
 southern prisons ; on being ex- 
 changed, he at once returned to 
 service. With the exception of the 
 time while he was a prisoner, he 
 •was in every campaign and battle 
 
 in which his regiment took part. 
 He was promoted successively to 
 sergeant and first sergeant, and at 
 the close of the war was first lieu- 
 tenant of Company I, being only 
 nineteen years of age. He was the 
 only original member of Company H 
 that received a commission. The 
 Second Massachusetts served in all 
 the important campaigns of the 
 Army of the Potomac until Sep-

 Cedar Mountain it lost a third of 
 its men and more than half of its 
 officers. At Antietam and Chancel- 
 lorsville its losses were also very 
 heavy, and at Gettysburg one-half 
 of the regiment fell in less than ten 
 minutes in charging the Confeder- 
 ate works at the base of Gulp's 
 Hill. The first regimental monu- 
 ment on the battlefield of Gettys- 
 burg, where there are now some five 
 hundred monuments, was erected 
 by the officers of the Second Mas- 
 sachusetts. In September, 1863, 
 the Twelfth Corps, of which the 
 Second Regiment was a part, was 
 sent to the Southwest with the 
 Eleventh Corps, both under the 
 command of General Hooker. Gen- 
 eral Hooker, Avith these corps, 
 fought in the celebrated battle of 
 Lookout Mountain; soon after, 
 they were consolidated and called 
 the Twentieth, and took part in all 
 the subsequent campaigns of Gen- 
 eral Sherman's army. The Second 
 Massachusetts was the first regi- 
 ment to enter the city of Atlanta 
 after its surrender, and had charge 
 of the destruction of the public 
 buildings in that city previous to 
 the evacuation and the march to 
 the sea, and was the last regiment 
 to leave the city. Lieutenant Morse
