Waitt, Ernest Linden, History of the Nineteenth regiment, Massachusetts volunteer infantry , 1861-1865, Chapter 1: organization of the regiment. (search)
The Nineteenth Regiment, despite all these special orders, was only a skeleton command. Its condition may be inferred from the following letter sent by Adjutant General Schouler to Governor Andrew on July 27, 1861: There are but nine companies in the Nineteenth Regiment and most of them are without uniforms, and there are but 15 t possible moment, and in no event be delayed beyond the last day of the month. You are ordered to favor expedition in every practicable way. Yours truly, Wm. Schouler, Adjt. Gen. On August 26, 1861, the following order was issued: Commonwealth of Massachusetts, A. G. O., Boston, Aug. 26, 1861. Col. Hinks, Commanding,rime. 9. George M. Barry. 10. Wm. H. LeCain. Col. Hinks will promulgate this order. By command of His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Gov. & Com. In Chief, Wm. Schouler, Adjt. Gen. The regiment was very fortunate in having one of the most skillful physicians in the Army for its surgeon, Dr. J. Franklin Dyer. He was a man

ere in all sixteen wagons, painted the regulation blue, beside the ambulances. Boston was reached at 5.15 o'clock and an immense crowd welcomed the regiment at the station. The men quickly formed in column and marched through Canal, Blackstone, Commercial, State, Washington, School and Beacon Streets to the common, where a halt was made. Here an hour's rest was had and an opportunity given for a final leave taking of friends and relatives. The regiment was visited here by Adjutant General William Schouler and Quartermaster General John H. Reed, and here the Chaplain, Rev. J. C. Cromack, was presented, by William B. May, with a beautiful sword, belt and sash. This visit to Boston was a great event for the members from the country towns, many of whom had never seen the city and their great desire to see Boston Common and the State House was now gratified. They felt jolly and were bound to make the most of the picnic. Awkward, helpless in all these small prosaic arts by which

the two guns of Vaughn's battery fire a couple of shells over into the rebel camp. This was done, but no response was made to their Hellish Good-Night, and in a few hours Camp Benton was reached. The report of the operations in and around Ball's Bluff, made shortly afterward by Colonel Hinks, occasioned considerable feeling and attracted almost universal remark and comment from the Northern press and people on account of its plain statement of the important affair. In a letter to Adjt. Schouler, written from Poolesville, Camp Benton, October 29, 1861, Colonel Hinks says: The Nineteenth regiment did not lose a man in the battle of the 21st at Ball's Bluff, nor in the skirmish at Edward's Ferry on the 22nd. At the place first named, it stayed the advance of the enemy, receiving its full fire as it took its position and covered the retreat in good order. With two companies of the Twentieth, commanded by Lieutenants Beckwith and LeBaines, and the Rhode Island Battery, Captai

struck the floor at once. There was not one of them out of time and then a smile of satisfaction wrinkled the colonel's face and a cheer of approval went up from the audience, which packed the hall, that made the walls shake. It was one of the proudest moments in the history of the Nineteenth, and of Col. Devereux, too, as it had been through his untiring efforts that the regiment had reached such perfection in the manual of arms. Governor Andrew was unable to be present, but Adjutant General Schouler welcomed the boys home in his behalf. Mayor Lincoln made a speech brim full of praise, saying among other things: You have sustained the old flag with unflinching bravery and our hearts have beat with pride as we have heard of your exploits. You are to go again into the field, to gain new laurels and perform still more brilliant achievements. General Edward W. Hinks, who had been appointed by Governor Andrew as a special aide on his staff at the reception to the Nineteenth Massa

Headquarters, Nineteenth Mass. Vols. Near City Point, Va., June 26, 1864. Brig. Gen. Wm. Schouler, Adjt. Gen., Boston. General: It is my painful duty to report the capture, on the 22nd inst., near Petersburg, of the gallant Nineteenth Massachusetts Infantry. I need not add that only the desperate position into which they were forced made the idea of surrender for a moment tolerable to the regiment. If resistance had been at all available, it would have been made. The action in which they were taken was the 32nd action in which this splendid regiment had been engaged si
