Portland Maine Soldiers and Sailors

Members of the Bosworth Post (Grand Army of the Republic) had this volume published for sale at a fair held in Portland Maine in 1884 to aid the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. This sketch presents the prominent facts relating to the troops from Portland in the war of the rebellion including the regiments which ''rendezvoused'' in our city.The majority of the book is devoted to accounts of the following companies: First Maine Infantry Fifth Maine Infantry Tenth Maine Infantry Twelfth Maine Infantry Thirteenth Maine Infantry Seventeenth Maine Infantry Twenty-Fifth Maine Infantry Twenty-Seventh Maine Infantry Twenty-Ninth Maine Infantry Thirtieth Maine Infantry and the First Maine Cavalry. The names of Portland officers are listed within their regiments. An account of the re-capture of the Revenue Cutter Caleb Cushing; a list of Portland officers not previously mentioned; a list of Portland Naval officers; and an alphabetical list of interred soldiers and sailors grouped by cemetery complete this work.
