Captain F. D. SIoat then read sketch of
the history OF the regiment. The circum-
stances and facts of its formation were re-
lated and it's excellent action at Fredericks-
burg, Charlottesville and Gettysburg por-
trayed. In concluding, he said: The reei-
ment was divided into two portions at the
battle of fredericksburg; one resisted the
murderous assault of the enemy and the 9TH
er did picket duty, and both deserve equal
credit The regiments history is not the
history of a company, but of all companies.
Many things, my comrades, come to my
mind as I review and recall the course of our
life. But let us not stand alone with the
honor that comes to the Twenty-seventh.
The other Connecticut regiments also should
have their share of praise. When the histo-
ry of the whole action is written Connecticut
will have her share of honor. The history
of the battle of Gettysburg is the history of
the four regiments engaged.
Quartermaster Baldwin was then called on
and said: AS / have looked over this compa-
ny to-day and have shaken hands with my
comrades, have been thinking that war has
made it ravages and that time has taken tue
work into its own hands and continues to
carry US off. We admire the bravery and
tact of our general officers, but when we
think of the brave ones who took q musket
over their shoulder we must admit that they
are entitled to share greatly in the glor1es OF
victories won. at each reunion there comes
the name of some departed comrade. We
meet to perpetuate friendship and here
pledge ourselves true to each other, our
country, and to everything that makes man
a man among men.
