Chapter 36: return of the regiment to Massachusetts. Back again to the front. On February 3 the order to prepare for the journey home was received and on the following day, when they broke camp it was a jolly occasion for every one. The two miles between the camp and the depot was quickly covered and no one fell out. Those of the Nineteenth regiment who did not or could not re-enlist were turned over to the Twentieth Massachusetts for duty during the absence of the regiment. At the depot the usual delay incident to army railroading occurred, but finally the train was ready and the regiment started. Box cars were furnished for the men and they let themselves out,—dancing, singing and shouting until they were hoarse. The officers who returned with the regiment to Boston were: Colonel Devereux. Lieut. Col. Wass. Major Edmund Rice. Acting Adjt. William M. Curtis. Quartermaster Thos. F. Winthrop. Surgeon J. F. Dyer. Asst. Surgeon C. P. Pratt. Capt. Moncena Dunn. Ca

Started for Philadelphia this morning, arriving a little before dark, got supper and rested awhile, then started for New York, riding all night. Feb. 7, 1864. Arrived in New York at 6 o'clock in the morning. Left at 6 P. M. for Boston. The journey to Boston was made without incident. The regiment arrived at 4 A. M. on February 8th, and breakfast was served in the Beach Street barracks. At 11 o'clock line was formed and the regiment marched to Fanueil Hall Square, through crowds of people which filled all the streets, giving the men hardly space in which to walk. When the men were conducted into the hall a sight greeted them which at once put them into the best of humor. Their poor breakfast was forgotten as the tables at which they halted were loaded with good things. The escort of the regiment were the Home Gu

aughters of Philadelphia,—the old Cooper Shop. The single gun which always saluted the arriving regiments gathered at once from their homes the noblest of her citizens to give aid to the tired soldiers. At Alexandria a day and a half were spent, and the men made the most of the time. A circus was showing there that day and in the afternoon nearly the entire regiment visited it, many also spending the evening at the theatre. When the regiment arrived at its old camp on Cole's Hill on March 20, the men found that it was occupied by the Seventh Michigan which had returned from its furlough some time before. They were obliged, therefore, to bivouack on top of the hill in the open air and found when they awoke on the following morning that there had been a snow storm and they were covered with several inches of it. For a few days, until the regiment could prepare a suitable camp, the men were divided among the camps of the Fifteenth Massachusetts and the Seventh Michigan, while som

McGinnis was made First Lieutenant in Company K, vice Hill promoted Captain. The month of April was spent in perfecting the discipline of the regiment and preparing it for the sterner duties of the campaign Recruits to the number of 52 were received during the month, and Horace Hastings, musician in Co. E re-enlisted. The stern duties off dust that we could not keep our eyes open and were compelled to go into our tents. After the whirlwind we had a heavy thunder shower. On the first of May the regiment numbered 350, with two field and ten line officers. During the month of April Captain Hume of Co. K. was on detached service in Philadelphia. In response to the order to prepare to march, nearly every soldier wrote a letter home and also sent home such little money as he had on hand, through Captain Pearl, the sutler.

, Lieut. Col. Wass, Major Rice and Capt. Moncena Dunn, were promoted, dating from February 2nd. Second Lieut. Wm. A. McGinnis was made First Lieutenant in Company K, vice Hill promoted Captain. The month of April was spent in perfecting the discipline of the regiment and preparing it for the sterner duties of the campaign Recruits to the number of 52 were received during the month, and Horace Hastings, musician in Co. E re-enlisted. The stern duties of war were vividly exemplified on April 14th when a member of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, but who was transferred to the Twentieth Massachusetts when the others re-enlisted, was hanged for assault upon an aged woman while he was drunk. It had been shown that he left his post while on picket duty and he was sentenced by courtmartial to be hanged. The officers and men of the regiment did everything possible, even to petitioning to the President, for his reprieve, but the example was needed and the request was refused. The Second
