William Schouler, A history of Massachusetts in the Civil War: Volume 1, Chapter 3: (search)
West Sutton, writes, I and several citizens of this town, being well acquainted with the use of the rifle, are anxious to form a company of sharpshooters. Captain Rand, First Regiment of Infantry, writes, At a meeting of my company, held last evening, it was unanimously voted to adopt the following as a company name, Schouler Volunteers, with many thanks to you for your numerous kindnesses. This company was Company I, First Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers. Captain Rand was killed at Chancellorsville. Captain Peirson, of Byfield, volunteers his whole command (Company B, First Battalion of Rifles) for the war. May 1.—Samuel Fowler, of Westfield, writes, This town has appropriated ten thousand dollars for the equipment and outfit of a company of volunteers, and to drill them until called for. God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Richard H. Dana, Jr., of Cambridge, writes,— The topi I left with you yesterday is the result of fifty years experience of the British in

In this opinion I am confirmed by every officer with whom I have consulted. It will be seen, however, that the pressure of causes forced the Governor to change his opinion. We find on the Governor's files a letter dated Atlanta, Ga., April 10, 1863, signed Henry Shelby, and directed to his brother, Captain William Shelby, Co. B, Second Regiment, Georgia Infantry, C.

It says,— President Davis was here a few days ago, and said that the Alabama, with four others that will be dreaded as much as she has been, will make the Yankees a call some time in June, at Boston or Portland; and won't they shell out? Davis said t

armies. The Governor closed his address in the following eloquent and touching words:— But the heart swells with unwonted emotion when we remember our sons and brothers, whose constant valor has sustained on the field, during nearly three years of war, the cause of our country, of civilization and liberty. Our volunteers have represented Massachusetts, during the year just ended, on almost every field, and in every department of the army, where our flag has been unfurled,—at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and Fort Wagner; at Chickamauga, Knoxville, and Chattanooga; under Hooker, Meade, Banks, Gilmore, Rosecrans, Burnside, and Grant. In every scene of danger and of duty,—along the Atlantic and the Gulf; on the Tennessee, the Cumberland, the Mississippi, and the Rio Grande; under Dupont, Dahlgren, Foote, Farragut, and Porter,—the sons of Massachusetts have borne their part, and paid the debt of patriotism and valor. Ubiquitous as the stock they desce
