This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...entire satisfaction of the committee and the regiment, and was dedicated September 29 in the presence of quite a large collection of the members of the regiment and citizens of New Hampshire who were accompanying them on an excursion to Washington, Richmond, and the battle-fields of Gettysburg, Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Fredericksburg, including among other places of interest a visit to Luray Cave in Virginia.

From the centre of the nicely polished front of the die a panel was chiseled out so as to leave therein, in outstanding yet protected letters, the following inscription: JULY 2, 1863. ENGAGED, 224.
