On the following pages will be found a complete roster of the regiment, containing the name of every man who served in the regiment during its year of service.
The record of each man is a copy of that contained in the muster out roll, now on file at the Adjutant General's office, State House, Boston, Mass.
The greatest possible care has been taken to avoid errors, and in only one case was a change made in a man's record. Upon the muster out roll the man was charged with being a deserter and also with having been discharged honorably. After consultation with the company commander, it was decided that the man should be given the benefit of an honorable discharge, especially as he was not classified as a deserter in the summary at the end of the company roll.
It will be noticed that two men, both of whom were former members of the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery are credited as enlisting from Americus, Georgia. This is so stated upon the muster out roll, and consequently is so printed. They were probably mustered into the regiment in the Georgia town, hence the reason for being credited to it. In a few cases the date of transfer of a man from a company to the band does not agree, one date being recorded on the band roll and another on the company roll. This is sometimes true as to his place of residence, but the muster out rolls were followed in these cases.
The full record of the men transferred to the Reserve Ambulance company, U. S. A., or the Hospital Corps, U. S. A., has been added to the record. Their record on the muster out roll ends with the day of their transfer from the regiment, but it was thought best to publish their full service record, which was secured from the War Department, through the courtesy of Hon. A. P. Gardner, representative in Congress from the Sixth Massachusetts district.
