Preface At the close of the war in 1865, John P. Apthorp, a member of the Company whose story is herein narrated, prepared for publication a manuscript history which he had designed to print In the autumn of that year; but when the work was complete, and his canvass of the members for subscriptions had been made, their response was so limited and inadequate to the outlay necessary for its issue that he abandoned the enterprise. That manuscript was made the basis of the present work. About thirteen years since it came into my hands by the courtesy of its author, with the object, on my part, of joining with one or two other members of the Company in assuming the expense of its publication. But a careful reading of it led us to the unanimous conclusion that thorough revision was necessary before doing so. At the first reunion of the Company, held in Boston, in January, 1879, a committee on history was appointed, consisting of William E. Endicott and myself, to be joined by su

ably have been precipitated, in which the advantage of numbers might have achieved for us a decided success.

und by the concussion of a shell. Another struck and disabled both wheels of the fifth piece, a fragment of it wounding private Alfred C. Billings in the lip, and two pieces entering the head of Michael Farrell. A close call was made for John P. Apthorp, whose canteen strap was cut by a shell as he lay by the fourth piece; but sadder than all, and as a climax to the horrors that had accumulated around us, a fragment of an exploding shrapnel entered the breast of Lieut. Granger, inflicting aorted at headquarters, Lieut. Smith of Battery K was detached to take charge of us, and Lieut. Dean of the Sixth Maine was detailed to assist him. When darkness had fairly settled down, all firing had died away, and from the surrounding John P. Apthorp territory there came up wails from the wounded and dying, not all of whom had been brought off the field. It was with great difficulty that places could be found in an ambulance for our wounded officers, so crowded were these conveyances.
