SEE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT FOR COMPLETE DOCUMENT CHAPTER XIII NASHUA DURING THE REBELLION [CIVIL WAR] Action of the Citizens-- Record of Several Regiments-- List of Nashua Soldiers-- G.A.R. Post-- During the decade beginning with the close of 1860 and ending with the close of 1870 the War of the Rebellion was the great overshadowing event. Our purpose is to confine this sketch to the part taken by Nashua and it speople in maintaining the Union and in the overthrow of the pro-slavery rebellion. The firing upon Fort Sumpter was the first overt act of the secessionists. It began on Friday, April 12, 1861, at four o'clock in the morning. Had it occurred twenty years earlier (1841) four days would have elapsed before the news would have reached this city. But the announcement of the startling event reached Nashua before noon and spread rapidly. Many could hardly credit the report, but the succession of dispatches left no room for doubt. The assault was continued until late in the afternoon of Saturday, when the fort was compelled to surrender, and the telegram announcing the fact was received here at a late hour of the night. But on the clear, bright Sunday morn when followed--how many can vividly recall the day!--men gathered in groups on the side-walks with inquiring and anxious countenances, and few pulpits there were which did not respond to the most unanimous cry,--"The Rebellion must be crushed!" Two days later came President Lincoln's call for seventy-five thousand men for ninety days. On the Monday night following, the city hall was densely crowded in answer to a call for citzens' meeting. The mayor, George Bowers, presided, and the people were addressed by leading citizens of both political parties. There was manifestly no lack of enthusiasm and determination on the part of the Nashua people to sustain the government and maintain the Union. Captain R.O. Greenleaf was appointed by the Governor recruiting officer at Nashua. The number required was speedily raised, although no bounty or special inducement was offered. Many of our young men and some of the older citizens, untrained except for peace, took their places in the ranks for the defense of the national capital. The prevailing feeling was that the three months' men would see the end of the war. Before their return it was evident that the free States had a long struggle before them. The darkest hours had not yet come. The regiment of three months' men from this State went into camp at Concord, were equipped and left for the seat of war on the 25th of May. The field officers were M.W. Tappan, colone; T.J. Whipple, lieutenant-colonel; and Aaron F. Stevens, major. The Nashua men belonged to Companies E and F. Of Company E., Richard O. Greenleaf was captain and William F. Greeley and John W. Thompson lieutenants; of Company F., AUgustus S. Edgerliy was captain and G.W. Handley and G.W. WHipple were lieutenants,--all of them hailing from this city. The regiment proceeded to Washington, and went up the Potomac Valley to Harper's Ferry. It was not the fault of the men, but in reality they were not under fire during the three months' service. They were mustered out and returned home the last of AUgust. A large per cent of the Nashua men enlisted later in the regiments and did honor to themselves and the State by their bravery. The signal defeat of the Union forces at Bull Run, on Sunday, the 21st of July, caused more surprise and alarm in this city than any event during the four years' struggle. The Boston dailies of Monday morning, basing their reports upon the first skirmishes between the two armies, announced a glorious victory for the Union forces. On the arrival of the afternoon train, at four o'clock, they announced the crushing defeat, hurried flight and utter disorganization of our army. Such a result was entire unexpected. There were many wakeful eyes that night in Nashua. Looking at the event after the lapse of nearly a fourth of a century, it is a question whether that early and signal defeat of the Union cause was not a blesssing in disguise. It put an end to all compromise, and made, what until that time was in doubt, the emancipation of the slaves as certain as the triumph of the Union armies. When the regiment of three months' men had left for Washington in May, enough volunteers were found to speedily form a second regiment, which, under Colonel Marston, left on June 20th for active service. Other regiments rapidly followed until, on the 23d of December 1861, the Eighth Regiment of New Hampshire had left for the seat of war. In May 1862, the Ninth Regiment entered the service, and others followed until the Sixteenth, organized in November, completed the number required by the national government. In all these regiments Nashua was represented, but far more largely in the Third, Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, Tenth and Thirteenth. The Second Regiment was in both of the battles at Bull Run. In the second battle Lieutenant Sylvester Rogers, of this city, was fatally wounded, and died while being carried from the field. The Third Regiment had a long and severe service in South Caroline and Virginia, in which quite a number of Nashua soldiers shared. The first battle was at Secessionville, where, of five hundred and ninety-seven men, one hundred and four were killed and wounded. Only one from this city, Lieutenant Marsh, was slightly wounded. In the battle of Drury's Bluff, May 13, 1864, while making an advance on Richmond, this regiment bore the "brunt" of the contest. Major James F. Randlett, now captain of a cavalry company in the regular army, was wounded. Adjutant Elbridge J. Copp, who, entering the service as a private at seventeen, had won promotion, was also wounded. Three days later Lieutenant Eugene J. Button was killed at the head of his company. On the 16th of August a fierce engagement took place at Deep Bottom, at which Adjutant E.J. Copp was severely wounded, which compelled him, in October following, to return to Nashua. Among other Nashua men in the Third Regiment were Captain David Wadsworth, Joseph Ackerman, Charles S. Burnham, Adjutant S.N. Jackson, Quartermaster G.B. Bingham, Quartermaster W.A. Swallow, Lieutenants D.J. Flanders, H.A. Marsh, George Stearns, and J.C. Pushee. The Fourth Regiment had Chaplain M.W. Willis, Surgeon George P. Greeley, Captains R.O. Greenleaf, E.L. Sarsons, and Lieutenants L.A. Gay, C.H. Moore and J.F. Gilpatrick in its service. Although in several severe battles, the men from this city appear to have been fortunate. The Sixth Regiment had very few soldiers from Nashua. Dr. William A. Tracy and James H. Noyes were surgeons; the former returning home in feeble health, died soon after. The Seventh Regiment was with the Third in the attack on Fort Wagner, in July 1863, where Lieutenants Alfred N. Bennett and Ezra Davis, of this city, lost their lives. Captain Charles A. Lawrence and Lieutenant James A. Cobb were in this regiment. The Eighth Regiment was mustered into service December 23, 1861. Probably no other regiment contained so large a number of Nashua men. It was ordered to the mouth of the Mississippi and remained during the summer. In October it was ordered inland, on the 8th of the month, and Captain J.Q.A. Warren, of Nashua, was the first man to fall in action at Georgia Landing. In the spring following, it was ordered to join General Banks to capture Port Hudson. The march of two hundred and thirty miles in the heat was tedious. On the 27th of May the Eighth Regiment took the lead in the assault on the enemy's fortifications. Early in the fight Lieutenant-Colonel Lull, who was in command, fell fatally wounded. Quartermaster Shattuck, of this city, carried him upon his shoulders away from the works. He lived until midnight. John H. Towle, W.H. Tucker and Several other Nashua soldiers fell on the same dya. Two days later Lieutenant George W. Thompson, of this city, while enar the rifle-pits of the rebels, was instantly killed. On the 14th of June another unsuccessful assault was made on the rebel fort. The Eighth suffered most severely. Lieutenant Luther P. Hosley, Sergeant ELisha Nottage, Jesse C. Danforth, Frank F. Andrews, and Michael T. Sullivan were left dead in a trench under the enemy's works. No flag of truce was allowed by the rebels for three days, and the wounded perished from thirst and exposure. The bodies, when recovered, could hardly be recognized. After the surrender of Port Hudson, General Banks ordered an expedtition to Sabine Pass, which was unsuccessful. Early in the spring of 1864 the Red River campaign was undertaken. During the previous winter the regiment, now lessened in numbers, were provided with horses and became cavalry. On the 8th of April they came unexpectedly upon the rebel forces at the Sabine Cross-Roads. In this engagement the rebels had the advantage of knowing the surroundings. The cavalry fared badly. Forty-seven men, including Captain Dana W. King, whose horse was killed and he wounded, were taken prisoners and carried to the prison at Tyler, Texas, where they suffered the usual lot of Union soldiers for over six months. The regiment was mustered out the 29th of October, and on the 6th of November reached Concord [NH] under the command of Captain Dana W. King. Only one hundred and seventy-seven enlisted men returned, and Captain King was the only original officer of staff or line who remained. The Governor gave to Captain King the brevet commission of lieutenant-colonel, of captain to James H. Marshall, and of first lieutenant to Nelson H. Peterson, all of this city. Among the men from Nashua whose names have not been mentioned were Commissary Tyler M. Shattuck, Captains George S. Eayrs, Irving G. Wilkins, Daniel M. Fisk, Lieutenants Nestor Haines and William H. Barnes. The Ninth Regiment left Concord in August and went into immediate service. Company C was commanded by Captain Augustus S. Edgerly of Nashua. He was wounded at Fredericksburg, and killed at the battle of the Wilderness, May 6, 1864. Lieutenant Charles D. Copp, of this city, was appointed captain after his death. At Fredericksburg, when the colors of the regiment had fallen, Lieutenant Copp siezed and raised the flag amid a shower of bullets, and shouting to the men, enabled them to form in line. The Tenth Regiment was commanded by Colonel Donohue. Company B. was raised by Captain Timothy B. Crowley, and nearly all its members were residents of this city. The regiment was in the sanguinary battle at Cold Harbor on June 3, 1864. Lieutenant Daniel W. Russell of Nashua, a brave man and good officers, was instantly killed by a shot thorugh the head. On October 27, 1864, this regiment at Fair Oaks was ordered to charge the enemy's works. It reached a position where to advance or retreat were alike impossible. No aid arriving, the men were compelled to lie down under the rebel batteries and waita for night to cover their escape. AMong the severely wounded was Captain Crowley, who was struck by a ball in the thigh. Knowing that capture in his condition was death, he crept in the darkness away from the rebels toward the Union lines until he fainted. Becoming conscious he called for help and was rescued by two of our soldiers. He was soon after commissioned as major of the regiment. The regiment encountered much hard service. The Thirteen Regiment was commanded by Colonel Aaron F. Stevens, with George Bowers lieutenant-colonel, and George H. Taggard adjutant. Its heavy work was during 1864. It was at Drury's Bluff in May, and at Cold Harbor in June, fought bravely and lost heavily, Lieutenant Taggard being among the wounded. It was on duty in front of Petersburg during the summer, and was prominent at the capture of Fort Harrison on the 29th of September. In the assult Colonel Stevens fell severely wounded within a few yards of the fort, and did not resume command of the regiment afterwards. The Thirteenth was garrisoned at Fort Harrison during the winter and joined the final movement on Richmond, April 3, 1865. Dr. R.B. Prescott of this city, then in command, of Company C., according to the Richmond papers, led the first squad of men of the Union army which entered the city. They did a good work in suppressing pillaging and subduing the flames. The New Hampshire Batallion of Cavalry, which went into service early in 1862, consisted of four companies, one of which had William P. Ainsworth, for captain, and Joseph F. Andrews first lieutenant, with a number of others from this city. On May 30th a charge was made upon a rebel force near Front Royal, VA. The enemy retreated, but soon made a stand at a pass near a bridge. Captain Ainsworth crossed the bridge, and falling in range of the rebel rifles, fell with seven others of his company. His death was sincerely lamented by our citizens. The city government of Nashua during the four years' war made prompt and liberal provisions for the families of the soldiers, and paid large sums for bounties. The women of this city also did a noble work in supplying the wants of the sick and furnishing necessary comforts to the soldiers on duty. There was not a neighborhood in the city which had not its representative in the army, and not only mothers and wives, but kind friends generally, did all in their power to strengthen the arm of the soldier. One organization of fifty young ladies made a systematic work of sending clothing to the rank and dainties and cordials to the hospitals. Many a Union sentinel upon his lonely post in the chill winter's wind was made comfortable by these warm flannels from home; many a look of gratitude came over the face of the Northern boy as, fever-stricken in the hospital, he rested his aching head upon the pillow made by loving hands at home. LIST OF UNION SOLDIERS FROM NASHUA--The following list of soldiers from Nashua who served in the War of the Rebellion was prepared and published by Dr. L.F. Locke before the close of the war. Possibly there are a few omission, and there may be a very few names of men who enlisted here, but whose home was elsewhere. The list if the most accurate to be obtained at this time, and must be very nearly correct.
