Charles w. Wilcox OF Milford, Mass, q
native OF Brookfield and known to many
here, recently sent to several friends Ia
town a copy OF book, entitled "A His
tory OF the Ninth Regiment OF New
Volunteers" We understand
that one OF these books is for the town
library and is to be presented at the next
library meeting. The work Is of a high
order and will be valuable addition to
I ne library. 1t appears from the preface
hat Mr.. Wilcox WAS on the committee
Tor Its preparation and publication, and
Il is learned from other sources that great
credit is due him for the completeness
and accuracy OF its contents and for the
hnal success OF its issue. In the chapter
Of biographies Is sketch OF his life. The
OF the volume to the library
Is gift that will be much appreciated by
Dur citizens. The following from the
Milford Journal speaks further OF the
work and will be OF interest: "We have
perused with much pleasure and great
interest the history of the 9th N. Il. Regt.
Vols, for which we are indebted to Capt.
=. W. Wilcox OF that regiment, secretary
81 the general regimental publishing
and treasurer OF the sub COM
nittee in charge OF the work. Its com
and accuracy are due to his per-
sonal labors in no small degree, and his
description OF personal experiences in
'ebel prisons, pages 562.611, is wildly
realistic. The work contains nineteen
chapters Of history and narrative, a
,hapter OF biographical sketches and a
complete roster OF the entire regiment.
There is the full record OF all those serv-
ng also 10 other organizations, and Of the
'th N. Fl. Vet. Vols. and the 9th N. H.
Veteran Vols. Association. The work
numbers over 800 pages and includes over
80 illustrations. 1t is panorama of the
share this regiment had in the great war
