Excerpt from A History of the Eleventh New Hampshire Regiment, Volunteer Infantry in the Rebellion War, 1861-1865: Covering Its Entire Service, With Interesting Scenes of Army Life, and Graphic Details of Battles, Skirmishes, Sieges, Marches, and Hardships, in Which Its Officers and Men Participated At the outset a circular was addressed to the officers and men of the regiment, wherever I could find them, asking for anecdotes, reminiscences, and personal items of themselves, such as would be of interest for the work before me.
