The First regiment Massachusetts heavy artillery, United States volunteers, in the Spanish-American war of 1898
This book forms but a single chapterthe latest onein the eventful and ever-honorable history of the First Massachusetts Regiment. It has been written in the hope that it may aid in maintaining the splendid esprit de corps which always has been characteristic of the command. Nor does this corps-pride lack warrant. Since 1844, under one designation or another, the First Massachusetts, as a regimental organization, has been continuously in the service either of the Commonwealth or of the Nation; through long years of peace it faithfully has held itself in trained and disciplined readiness against the hour of need; in two wars it unhesitatingly has responded to the call of the Government, returning from each with an untarnished record of duty well done. Furthermorein part, at least, if not as a xivwholeit has been identified for over a century with the making of American history; for, like the sturdy oak, the regiment may trace its growth from still vigorous roots which reach far back into the historic past. "D" Battery (Roxbury Train of Artillery) was chartered in 1784, bearing upon its original muster-rolls the names of many veterans of the Revolution, and first seeing active service in the Shay Rebellion of 1787; "G" Battery (Boston Fusileers) dates its organization from 1786 and its record of active service from the War of 1812; "K" Battery (Boston Light Infantry) was first enrolled at the time of our brief naval war with France in 1798, and served with the coast-guard in 1812. The story of the heroic work of the regiment in the Civil War already fills a volume by itself: Blackburn's Ford, First Bull Run, Yorktown, Williamsburg, White Oak Swamp, Fair Oaks, Savage's Station, Glendale, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Locust Grove, Spottsylvaniatremendous names like these may hint at the regimental xvrecord which was written in blood from 1861 to 1864. With an honor-roll of one hundred and seventy-three dead, and with a grim list of six hundred and forty-three discharges for wounds and disease, the First Massachusetts honestly bought and dearly paid for its treasured place among the "Three Hundred Fighting Regiments" of the Union Army. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
