| Summary | "The Campaign of the Forty-fifth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia" is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book documents the experiences of the Forty-Fifth Regiment, which served during the Civil War, primarily detailing their campaign in North Carolina. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in military history, personal narratives of soldiers, and the day-to-day aspects of life in the 19th-century army. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the formation of the Forty-Fifth Regiment after President Lincoln's call for enlistment amid the Civil War. The narrative describes the regiment's camp life at Readville, Massachusetts, capturing the initial excitement, camaraderie, and humorous misadventures of the soldiers as they adapt to military life. As the regiment prepares to sail to North Carolina, the author portrays their early experiences with rations, guard duty, drilling, and the relationships formed among the soldiers, as well as their anticipation of the challenges ahead in the war. The opening sets a vibrant scene of military routine and the personal stories of the young men who rose to the duty of service. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
