| Summary | "History of the Sixteenth Connecticut Volunteers" by B. F. Blakeslee is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book outlines the experiences and campaigns of the Sixteenth Connecticut Volunteers during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on the regiment's formation, key battles, and the daily lives of the soldiers. It provides a personal perspective on the events through the author's recollections and diaries, aiming to create a detailed record of their service. The opening portion sets the stage for the regiment's recruitment and early training in 1862, highlighting the initial challenges faced by the men as they transitioned from civilian life to military service. Blakeslee reflects on the demographic of the regiment, emphasizing that it consisted largely of young men from well-respected families in Connecticut. The narrative recounts the regiment's muster into service, the hardships during their training, and their eventual march towards battle, marked by a mix of anticipation and anxiety surrounding the onset of war. This introductory segment establishes a personal connection to the soldiers while hinting at the profound trials the regiment would soon endure in conflict.
