Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Massachusetts in the Army and Navy during the war of 1861-1865, vol. 1: prelminary narrative, Preliminary narrative. (search)
Mass. Infantry arrived at 9 P. M. Governor Andrew had sent to Washington, in advance of the 6th Mass. Infantry, Phineas S. Davis (afterwards killed, in 1864, as colonel of the 39th Mass. Infantry); and under arrangements perfected by him, the regiment was quartered in the Senate Chamber, and was the main reliance for the defence of the city until the arrival of the later regiments, the 8th and 5th, with the 7th New York, by way of Annapolis. It is well to record here that in the following July, after the battle of Bull Run, when the term of the 6th had expired, it remained in service at the governor's request, on his assurance that the Capitol was still in danger and not a regiment could be spared. A vote of thanks for this service was passed by the National House of Representatives. But it was a finer compliment when the anxious Lincoln said to the wounded soldiers of the 6th Mass. at Washington: I begin to believe that there is no North. The 7th Regiment is a myth. Rhode Isla
