RACE OF THE SOIL: THE NINTH NEW HAMPSHIRE
REGIMENT IN THE CIVIL WAR |
Broadfoot Publishing |
|
BRAND NEW Hardcover in Dust Jacket (Protected in New
Brodart DJ Cover) - 536pp - Index - Photos - Maps - The 9th NH fought at Fredericksburg,
Petersburg, Antietam, South Mountain, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Antietam and other major
battles - Noted for storming the Stone Bridge at Antietam and the heights at Fredericksburg, it
was one of the first to enter the Crater at Petersburg - Based of primary sources, including the
service records of individual soldiers, and the letters and diaries of the men. The Ninth New
Hampshire Infantry Regiment was recruited in the summer of 1862 in response to an urgent call
by the United States for 300,000 additional men. The call was precipitated by the repulse of
McClellan nearing Richmond on the Virginia peninsula and the lack of advance by the principal
Union Army in the West. The Ninth New Hampshire, destined to be listed among the
"Three Hundred Fighting Regiments" in Fox's Regimental Losses, departed New
Hampshire on August 25, 1862. Less than 20 days later the green, untested regiment, a member
of the IX Corps, found itself in the engagement at South Mountain, Maryland. On September 17
it participated in the bloody battle of Antietam. As a result, during its first month of active
service, the Ninth lost more than 300 men to infectious diseases and battle casualties. The IX
Corps including the Ninth New Hampshire led the way on the march south from Maryland into
Virginia to join Burnside's army of over 125,000 men to take part in the battle of Fredericksburg
(December 13). Again, the larger Federal Army was defeated by Lee's smaller army, which
inflicted some 12,000 casualties on the Federals, the Ninth New Hampshire receiving its share. In
March, 1863 the regiment was transferred to the Western theater, first to Kentucky and then to
Mississippi, to participate in the Jackson Campaign. While there, and on the return journey to
Kentucky, the regiment was almost decimated by disease. After several months stay in Kentucky
and around Knoxville, it joined Grant's army for the Wilderness Campaign of 1864 in Virginia.
The Ninth New Hampshire embarked on May 4, 1864 from Bristoe Station for the bloody
Overland Campaign. At Spotsylvania Courthouse (May 12), especially at the Bloody Angle, it
took heavy casualties. The regiment was not engaged at the deadly battle of Cold Harbor, but was
actively involved at the Crater at Petersburg again sustaining serious losses. Three weeks after
the battle of the Crater there were only ten officers and barely 90 men on duty in the entire
regiment. Nevertheless, the Ninth New Hampshire was an active participant in the battle of
Peeble's Farm (September 30), where it sustained heavy losses. It was the third time in less than
five months that the regiment had lost as much as 40% of its effective force in a single fight, and
this time it was nearly 60%. By Appomattox the Ninth New Hampshire was a proud but sadly
depleted regiment. Race of the Soil is based on primary sources including the service records of
individual soldiers, and the letters and diaries of the men. The author brings many human interest
stories to the narrative. Integrated with the battle narrative are the personal stories of members of
the regiment. When the Ninth New Hampshire was initially organized, Marvel tells us something
about the men who joined it and the communities from which they came - South Conway,
Exeter, Manchester, Lempster, Meriden, Keene, Nelson, and others. The names of many of these
men recur thoughout the narrative whether in descriptions of a typical day in camp for the
regiment or on the march or in battle. The author relates many personal accounts, such as the
wounding of 26-year-old George Allen at the engagement at Bethesda Church on June 22, 1864.
We follow him through his removal from the battlefield to various hospitals and finally back to
New Hampshire. We learn about Corporal Peter Morrison; he was the last member of the
regiment to fall to enemy fire and this occurred October 5, 1864 |
