The writer finds upon investigation of the records that of MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS. 211 all the Massachusetts regiments, both of long and short terms, only four lost more men by disease than this regi- ment during their whole term of service. The service of the regiment was as honorable as that of any one that ever left the state. Its term of service was comparatively short, but in efficiency it was equal to the average three years regiments. While it was made up of an exceptionally fine class... of men, few of them, officers or privates, had ever had any military experience. But they selected for their commander a veteran officer of long experience in the militia, and whose sixteen months' ex- perience in the field, with the ordeal of many hard fought battles, had brought the necessary training for a successful leader. The men believed in him, and would follow wherever he would lead. The officers under whose com- mand he came, trusted him ; for his record of previous service was well known to them.
