Excerpt: ...for courage and devotion; boys half of them, who passed straight from their mother's arms to the embrace of war. There they left more than 7,000 of their number in known and unknown graves, among the hills and valleys of the South; buried where they fell; buried from the hospitals in camp and field or from the great hospitals of the cities, despite the devotion of heroic women; buried from the prison pens of the South, where they perished so miserably of exposure, starvation, delirium and despair; husbands, fathers, lovers, sons, comrades, friends; the patriotic, the brave, the true.

BOUNTIES. The 1st Regiment of Infantry was enlisted for two years, though mustered into the United States service for three months only. The $22 bounty was paid to this organization. The 2nd Regiment of Infantry was enlisted and mustered into the United States service for two years, and received only the same State bounty as the 1st Regiment. Having originally some two hundred more men than the First, and recruits who enlisted when large bounties were paid, the aggregate amount of State bounty paid it, is much more than that to the First. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Regiments of Infantry were enlisted and mustered into the United States service for three years. They received the $22 State bounty...

S. Heath Post, No. 14, Department of Maine, G. A. R. By Brevet Brig. General Isaac Sparrow Bangs. Of all the magnificent pageants this country has ever seen, from its settlement to the present year, none in point of interest can compare to the grand review of the armies of the Union on May 23 and 24, 1865. The most causeless, cruel, bloody war in the world's history had just been brought to a triumphant close by the surrender of the army of Northern Virginia, under General Robert E. Lee, to General Grant, at Appomattox, April 9th, and the surrender of Johnston's and all confederate armies east of the Mississippi by the military convention of April 26th. The identical flag that was lowered from the flagstaff of Fort Sumter by Major Robert Anderson April 14, 1861, was floating over Fort Sumter again, having been raised by Brevet Major General Robert Anderson on the 14th of April, 1865 the fourth anniversary to commemorate in the most fitting manner the restoration of national authority on the spot where the great rebellion was first inaugurated. On the evening of that same day, President Lincoln had fallen a victim to the hate engendered by the war, by the bullet of John Wilkes Booth, at Ford's theatre in Washington. May 18th, by Special Orders No.239, war department, adjutant general's office, a grand review by General Grant, President Johnson and cabinet, was ordered of all the armies then near Washington; to take place May 23rd and 24th.
