Unit Basics
Each unit has a basic set of material common to all or most members of the unit, or the unit as a whole.
"Benedict" will include an extract from Vermont historian George Grenville Benedict's 'Vermont in the Civil War,' which provides a fairly detailed account of the history of this unit.
"Bibliography" is a listing of known books, manuscripts, diaries, journals, letters, etc., and their location. (Will soon be tailored to this unit).
"Cemetery" is a listing of known final resting places. Many casualties, especially during the 1863-1864 campaigns, are probably buried in mass or unmarked graves, and their final resting place will never be known. There are also, in Vermont, many cenotaphs, or empty graves; some of these are not marked as such, but are a fitting memorial to the fallen solider nevertheless. (Will soon be tailored to this unit)
"Descendants" is a listing of registered descendants; this listing allows folks to share information on their ancestor with other descendants of the unit.
"History" is a short history from the 1892 Revised Roster. Benedict, above, will be much more detailed, but this will suffice as an introduction.
"Links" are connections to related sites on the Internet.
"Medal of Honor" will list information on those men who served in this unit.
"Organization and Service" is an extract from Frederick Dyer's Compendium of the War of the Rebellion.
"Photographs" is listing of known photographs of soldiers of this unit, and where they are located.
"Rosters" is the service information from the 1892 Revised Roster, plus additional information as known.
"Resources" is a list of material on this site.
