commanding, was ordered at noon of that day, however, to march to Tenallytown, ten miles distant. Men fell by the way from fatigue and hunger, for since leaving Harrison's Landing they had received only one ration other than coffee and hard bread. Their strength, enfeebled by Peninsula experience, was more sorely taxed than ever before. The following letter gives an idea of the condition of the organization at this time,—just one year from the day the regiment left Massachusetts: Headquarters, 19TH Regt. Mass. Vols. Camp near Alexandria, Va., August 29TH, 1862. To His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor of Massachusetts, Sir: The condition of this regiment requires three hundred and thirty-two (332) men to fill it to the standard. I respectfully request that number of men may be forwarded as speedily as possible. Very respectfully, A. F. Devereux, Lieut. Col. Commanding. On the bottom of this letter was written the following: Headquarters near Muddy Branc

idge in the darkness. It had been claimed by some that the Twentieth Massachusetts regiment took part on the crossing of the Rappahannock, to Fredericksburg, in the open pontoon boats. It is certain that some few men of the Twentieth did get into the boats with the Nineteenth, but the Twentieth as a body, followed the Nineteenth in the boats, after the Nineteenth with the Seventh Michigan, had landed and driven the enemy back. The official reports on this subject are as follows: Headquarters, Second Division, Second Corps December 19TH, 1862. Colonel: I have the honor to state that the Seventh Michigan passed over not far from 3 P. M. The Nineteenth Massachusetts followed immediately, at about 3.30 P. M., it having been necessary for the boats to cross twice with the Seventh Michigan. The boats crossed three times to carry over the Nineteenth. The bridge was commenced after the Nineteenth had crossed, and completed at sunset, about 4.30. The Twentieth followed the Nine

The next event was on April 22, when Lieutenant General Grant, with other general officers, reviewed the Second Army Corps. After the general review, the Nineteenth Massachusetts, under Lieut. Col. Rice, and the Twentieth Massachusetts under Major H. L. Abbott, were selected by Major General Hancock to drill at Headquarters, Second Division, in the presence of the commander-in-chief. The many generals present, including Lieut. Gen. Grant, and Generals Meade, Hancock, Humphreys, Warren, Sedgwick, Gibbon and Sheridan, expressed much satisfaction with the admirable discipline and perfect construction of both regiments.

The official correspondence regarding the capture of the regiment is interesting. 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 wer
