1865 Report
The history of the ELEVENTH REGIMENT, from the commencement of the year to the twenty-fourth of June, 1865, is a part of the history of the Vermont Brigade, and has been mentioned in that connection on the previous pages of this Report. The original members of the regiment and the recruits, whose term of service would expire previous to October 1, 1865, were mustered out of service June 24, 1865. The remaining members of the regiment were consolidated on that day, into a battalion of four companies of heavy artillery, Major Darius J. Safford commanding, and stationed in the Defences of Washington,--one company at Fort Foote, Md., and three companies at Fort Slocum, D. C. Subsequently, June 28, companies A, C and D were removed to Fort Foote. On the twenty-fifth of August the battalion was mustered out of service entire.
