Waitt, Ernest Linden, History of the Nineteenth regiment, Massachusetts volunteer infantry , 1861-1865, Chapter 1: organization of the regiment. (search)
promulgate this order. By command of His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Gov. & Com. In Chief, Wm. Schouler, Adjt. Gen. The regiment was very fortunate in having one of the most skillful physicians in the Army for its surgeon, Dr. J. Franklin Dyer. He was a man of gentle temperament, but thorough in every detail of his position and became as highly appreciated in the brigade division and corps as he was in the regiment. He first attracted the attention of the Brigade by the skillful manner in which he took part in stamping out an epidemic of measles in the Seventh Michigan in the Fall of 1861 at Camp Benton, preventing its spread in the Brigade. He always looked after the sanitary condition of the camp with untiring zeal and this fact alone explains the healthy condition of the Nineteenth, often under very trying circumstances. Surgeon Dyer will be remembered both for his personality and for those qualities which, when found in a man of his ability, make a great surgeon.

thousand men and in which was the Nineteenth Massachusetts were 2183, or more than 45% Col. Hinks suffered very much from his wounds received at Antietam, and for sometime was considered mortally wounded; indeed he was reported and for some days believed to be dead, and lengthy obituary notices of the most complimentary character appeared in the Boston dailies and other Massachusetts papers. Said the Daily Advertiser, He commanded the Eighth Regiment through the three-months service in 1861 with such ability and success that he was at once commissioned colonel of the Nineteenth for the war, that regiment being largely recruited from the old Eighth. In command of his new regiment, he was equally successful in securing the respect and confidence of all who came in contact with him. Said the Daily Journal on the same occasion, Col. Hinks was a brave and valuable officer, and is a great loss to the service as well as to the state of his nativity . . . . He displayed the qualitie

Rowe lent voice and wit in speech and song to while away the leaden hours. No one who was there will forget The Kentucky Lawyer as they heard it that night from the lips of Rowe, with the various editions of his own teeming brain. In the darkness, the regiment crossed the Potomac on pontoon bridges and went into camp. To the surprise of everyone, the command found itself on the very piece of ground on which its tents had been pitched at Camp Benton when it first went into the service in 1861. What memories it brought to all, and above all the recollection of many a face present when they first were there, but now gone—a sacrifice to the cause. The old camping ground was now a fine wheat field, nearly all traces of its former occupancy having been removed. As the regiment passed the house of Mr. Williams who had lived near the old camp and on whose ground it was, he was seen leaning over the fence. Many called him by name and he expressed his astonishment at meeting the Nine

Chapter 44: in camp at Bailey's Cross Roads. Muster out. The regiment had by this time become entirely different in its make up to the Nineteenth Massachusetts of 1861, and and the addition of many recruits of all nationalities lent much to its picturesqueness. Here nothing of interest occurred until May 23, when the Army of the Potomac passed in review before President Johnson and Lieutenant General Grant. This was a great event. Most of the previous day was spent in preparation, c The men were allowed to leave for their homes immediately and with only the delay necessary to dispose of guns and equipments, they took advantage of the opportunity. Of the 37 commissioned officers who left Massachusetts with the regiment in 1861, only 1 returned,—Colonel Edmund Rice who went out as captain and returned as colonel commanding the regiment. Fourteen officers and 250 men were either killed or died of wounds received in action, and 449 were discharged for disability occasio
