REGIMENTS, OFFICERS, AC.    29

of Gen. Burnside, they went to Kentucky and Tennessee, and won
an enviable reputation in the discharge of provost and garrison
duty. From Kentucky they went down the Mississippi, and land-
ed near Vicksburg. They took no immediate part in the siege of
that celebrated city, hut performed fatigue duty at Harris’ Bluff,
twenty miles up the Yazoo River. On the fall of Vicksburg they
joined the column that went into the interior of the State after
Johnston’s army, who had hung in the rearof the Union forces at
the siege, and participated in the battle fought near Jackson, the
12th and 13th of July, and at the capture of that city. Soon af-
ter they were again transferred to Kentucky, and assigned to pro-
vost duty at Paris.

In the spring of 1864, they again joined the Army of the Po-
tomac, and were in all the battles from Spottsylvania Court House
through to the front of Petersburg, and in all battles before that
city, up to the celebrated mine explosion, and did good service
through the war. It would take volumes where we can only spare
pages to give a true history of this popular regiment through their
various campaigns. Mustered out June 10, 1865.

The Tenth Regiment went into camp in the summer of 1862.
The officers wer§ Michael T. Donohoe, Manchester, Colonel; John
Coughlin, Manchester, Lieut. Colonel; Jesse F. Angell, Manches-
ter, Major; William H. Cochran, Goffstown, Adjutant; Thomas
Sullivan, Nashua, Quartermaster; and John Ferguson, Manches-
ter, Surgeon.

We have not so good a history, in detail, of this brave regiment
as we have of some others. They were in the battle of Fredericks-
burg, and were constantly in active service, and participated in
nearly all the battles around Richmond. It is not too much to
say, there was no Regiment which left New-Hampshire that stood
any higher in the service than they, and none that New-Hamp-
shire feels any prouder of, than the noble Tenth. Mustered out
June 21, 1865.

The Eleventh Regiment was organized at Concord, and left for
the front Sept. 11, 1862. The officers were Walter Harriman,
Warner, Colonel; Moses N. Collins, Exeter, Lieutenant Colonel;
E. W. Farr, Littleton, Major; James F. Briggs, Hillsborough,
Quartermaster; Charles R. Morrison, Nashua, Adjutant; Jona-
than S. Ross, Somersworth, Surgeon, and Frank K. Stratton, Hamp-
ton, Chaplain.
