Waitt, Ernest Linden, History of the Nineteenth regiment, Massachusetts volunteer infantry , 1861-1865, Chapter 3: in camp at Meridian Hill. (search)
ey cursed more and more the grim figure at headquarters, who was the genius of all this unaccustomed toil. Of the future worth of all this drill, fatigue and labor, many had small idea and few had none whatever. When encamped at Meridian Hill, the Seventh Michigan Regiment arrived and camped on the opposite side of the street. Close friendships immediately sprang up between the men of the Nineteenth and those of the Seventh, which lasted during the entire service of the regiments. The Michigan men were forced to do guard duty with sticks until fitted out by the general government, as they brought no muskets with them. The Nineteenth Regiment was assigned to the brigade of Gen. Frederick W. Lander and ordered to march to Poolesville, Md., then the headquarters of that division, known as the Corps of Observation, Gen. Charles P. Stone, commanding. The march was from Washington through Leesboro, Rockville and Darnestown. It was the first march made by the men and to the tende

of the opposite banks. Two companies of the Seventh Michigan were the first to make a landing as they had used the boats which were nearest to the end of the uncompleted bridge. They were led by Lieut. Col. Baxter who was struck by a shell as he climbed the bank on the Fredericksburg side. As the men appeared above the bank, the rebels emerged from cellar, rifle pit and stone wall, like so many rats and by the hundreds scampered off up the streets of the town. As the two companies of Michigan troops marched up Fauquier street, in a direct line with the bridge, they were immediately hotly engaged. The two boats bearing Companies K and C of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, with the National and the state colors (the first ones to be carried across) landed near those containing the two companies of the Seventh Michigan, and the men went forward to their assistance eagerly and swiftly. Capt. John C. Chadwick, of Company C was the first man of the Nineteenth to land. The next boa

The crossing of the river in the boats gave rise to one of the poems written during the war by George H. Boker of Philadelphia. They leaped into the rocking shallops— Ten offered where one could go; And the breeze was alive with laughter Till the boatmen began to row. And many a brave, stout fellow Who sprang in the boats with mirth Ere they made that fatal crossing Was only lifeless earth. Cheer after cheer we sent them As only Armies can,— Cheers for old Massachusetts.— Cheers for Young Michigan. They formed in line of battle, Not a man was out of place; Then with levelled steel they hurled them Straight in the rebel's face.
