| Summary |
"Roster and Statistical Record of Company D, of the Eleventh Regiment Maine Infantry Volunteers" by Albert Maxfield and Robert Brady, Jr. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This detail-rich work documents the history, roster, and experiences of Company D during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on their service in various battles and military maneuvers. The book offers a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers, their backgrounds as primarily young farmers from Maine, and the camaraderie shared in the face of severe hardships during wartime. The opening of this record introduces the formation of Company D in the fall of 1861, providing insights into its enlistment and early activities as part of the Eleventh Regiment Maine Infantry Volunteers. It details their initial organization in Augusta, their arrival in Washington, and the vital training they received that winter in preparation for the war ahead. Capturing the spirit of the time, the narrative describes not just the company dynamics but also the humorous and challenging aspects of military life, setting the stage for the deeper exploration of their engagements throughout the Civil War in the subsequent chapters.
