Relive a pivotal Civil War chapter through the eyes of Rhode Island volunteers.

This concise history gathers personal experiences, letters, and sketches to illuminate three months of 1862 in Virginia. Framed by introductions to Providence’s high schools and Brown University, it weaves together the voices of soldiers, their chaplains, and the families who supported them. The book aims to present a truthful, readable narrative of life in camp, the march toward battle, and the daily realities of service in the Union Army.

• Scenes from camp life, drills, medical care, and the morale of volunteers far from home


• Biographical sketches and roster lists that place names with ranks and units


• Context on the social and educational backgrounds that fed the war effort, including Providence High School and Brown University

Ideal for readers interested in Civil War history, Rhode Island heritage, and personal accounts of 1862 military service.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

We can only liken it to the poetic description of Sir Walter Scott, in the Lady of the Lake, when Roderick gives the shrill whistle through the copse and heath, that summons his men before the face of Fitz James. That whistle garrisoned the glen At once with full five hundred men, As if the yawning hill to heaven A subterranean host had given. Then after his purpose was fulfilled, he bids them return again as silently as they had come. Short space he stood, then waved his hand, Down sank the disappearing band. It seemed as if their mother earth Had swallowed up her warlike birth. In our land, not hundreds, but thousands and millions sprang to the call of liberty, and when their service was ended, after many of their comrades had perished on the field of honor, the survivors returned as quietly to the employments of peace and the delights of home. Rev. James G. Vose, D. D.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
