Synopsis

A Civil War company can be measured in names, dates and service statistics, yet its lived experience lies in discipline, hardship and the bonds formed among soldiers. This historical account brings both dimensions together, preserving the collective record of Company D, Eleventh Regiment Maine Infantry Volunteers while giving its young Maine farmers a human presence beyond the roster. Organised in Augusta in 1861, the company emerges through enlistment, training and wartime service as a body of volunteers learning the practical demands of military life. Rather than reducing their experience to battles and manoeuvres, the narrative attends to routines, shared trials and the discipline required of ordinary soldiers. Personal recollections and occasional humour sit beside the formal record, revealing details that statistics alone cannot hold without sacrificing the documentary precision of a company service history. The combination of civil war company roster, statistical record and firsthand-style recollection creates a focused portrait of service at company level. Individual entries establish who served, while the narrative sketch restores the texture of soldier life: organisation, camaraderie, hardship and the everyday realities behind a regiment's official history. It is both a military service record and an account of American Civil War soldiers understood as a collective, preserving the formal structure of their service alongside the personal details by which it was remembered. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations.
