Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bay State Forty-Fourth: A Regimental Record It would be quite foolish, as well as useless to boast that the 44th contained the only young men of promise that have enlisted since the war began; or to clam that "our Regiment" is in advance of all others in education or morality; nor is it intention of the regard to this thousands; - he wishes merely to make mention of the thoughts that occur to one who has simply met our boys as comrades in camp duty or on the march. The love of fun is an element in the character of most boys; and in the 44th that characteristic seems a marked one. We mean genuine fun, without the desire for mischief that very often accompanies the element mentioned. the mock dress parades and kitten burials that made some rainy days at Readville pass more quickly, were evidences of the humor of the ring-leaders there; and, at the present time, whenever there is an opportunity, something laughable is brought forward to enliven the crowd. On the voyage to Newbern in spite of the actual discomforts experienced, we enjoyed many a hearty laugh, and had good cause to thank the originator of the jokes perpetrated. To ventilate the space assigned us between decks, a "win's'l" was extended from a point above the upper deck to the lower, the opening to which was just above the boys' heads. The stairway from deck to desk being very slippery, those passing up or coming down quite naturally grasped a fold of the wind-sail to present a fall; and the consequence was, that the air intended for the companies below had but an imperfect passage. Here was a chance for a disagreement; and the subscriber stood looking on, imagining that nothing could prevent hard words, at least.

Download or read book Historical Record of the Forty Fourth Or the East Essex Regiment of Foot written by Adjutant-General's Office Thoma Carter and published by . This book was released on 1887 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history covers the period from the formation of the regiment in 1741 to its linking with the West Essex (56th Foot) in 1881, when it became the 1st Battalion the Essex Regiment. The East Essex began life as 55th Foot but in 1748 it was renumbered 44th, and this history is presented as a chronology, a year-by-year record of the regiment's services. There are no chapters; the list of contents form a diary showing principal events in each year, some years far more eventful than others. The narrative shows in the margin of each page the year in which the events being described took place, beginning with 1741 and the raising of the regiment, and finishing in 1881. In 1803 a second battalion was formed but disbanded in 1816 after Waterloo in which battle it fought as well as in several battles of the Peninsular War. The 1st Battalion, meanwhile, was fighting on the other side of the Atlantic in the war against the United States.There is plenty of detail in this history, one incident at Waterloo making unpleasant reading. Ensign Christie (not long promoted from Sergeant-Major) was carrying one of the colours when he was charged by a French lancer and severely wounded by a lance thrust which entered his left eye and penetrated to the lower jaw; despite the agony of his wound he still managed to frustrate the Frenchman's efforts to make off with the colour. From time to time names of officers present for duty are listed and the other rank strength. The regiment took part in the Crimean War, in the campaigns in Burma and in Afghanistan (1841/42) where, in the retreat from Kabul the regiment lost 22 officers and 632 other ranks killed (out of a total of 684); it also took part in the China War 1860 (Taku Forts). Of the sixty years from 1822 to 1881 the regiment was abroad for fifty Appendices list the succession of Colonels of the regiment and commanding officers, in the latter case giving brief notes on service details. They also provide the number, rank and name of all those soldiers who served in the trenches before Sebastopol throughout the siege, of those who were in the Crimea the whole time, and those who distinguished themselves in the Crimea and in China.

Download or read book The Civil War in North Carolina written by John G. Barrett and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven battles and seventy-three skirmishes were fought in North Carolina during the Civil War. Although the number of men involved in many of these engagements was comparatively small, the campaigns and battles themselves were crucial in the grand strategy of the conflict and involved some of the most famous generals of the war. John Barrett presents the complete story of military engagements across the state, including the classical pitched battle of Bentonville, the siege of Fort Fisher, the amphibious campaigns on the coast, and cavalry sweeps such as Stoneman's raid. From and through North Carolina, men and supplies went to Lee's army in Virginia, making the Tar Heel state critical to Lee's ability to remain in the field during the closing months of the war, when the Union had cut off the West and Gulf South. This dependence upon North Carolina led to Stoneman's cavalry raid and Sherman's march through the state in 1865, the latter of which brought the horrors of total war and eventual defeat.
