5th New Hampshire, "A History of the Fifth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers in the American Civil War, 1861-1865,"by William Child. Originally published in 1893 by R.W. Musgrove at Bristol, New Hampshire. An early reviewer went on to write, "One of the better regimental histories; composed for the most part of letters and diary excerpts by several members of the units; fully covers the Eastern Campaigns beginning with McClellan's advance up the Peninsula." The 5th New Hampshire sustained the greatest loss in battle of any infantry or cavalry regiment, in the entire Union Army (over 1,000 killed and wounded). Colonel Edward E. Cross, the first Colonel of the 5th New Hampshire, was killed in the Wheat Field at Gettysburg, while commanding the brigade. Organized at Concord in September, 1861, the 5th New Hampshire fought at Williamsburg, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Antietam, Chancellorsville, South Mountain and other major battles in the Eatern Theater of War. At Cold Harbor, this regiment fought their way into the Confederate position and lost over 200 men. They were part of Cross' Brigade, Caldwell's Division, Hancock's 2nd U.S. Army Corps, Army of the Potomac. Roster, 1987 reprint, 620 pages, cost $ 45.00. An original 1893 copy if located, may cost around $ 225.00. Sidenote, the following individual has a copy of this original.

5th New Hampshire, "Letters from a Civil War Surgeon, Dr. William Child, of the Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers,"by William Child, as transcribed by Merrill C. (Tom), Betty and Timothy C.. Sawyers, direct descendants of William Child. Originally published in 2001 by Polar Bear & Company, Brook St., PO Box 311, Solon, ME 04979, this 398 page softback book, includes over 150 photographs of the actual letters, additional photographs, condensed chronology of events experienced by this valiant unit (August 12, 1862 through June 25, 1865), plus an explanatory dictionary of various names mentioned throughout the book. The book costs $ 25.00, plus $ 3.95 shipping and can be purchased directly from the publisher at the above address or by visiting their website now at Polar Bear and Company. "Upon receiving my review copy of this book, it did not take long from me to realize that Dr. William Child was a very educated AND articulate man. Coupled with the fact that he was the surgeon of the valiant regiment that sacrificed more of her valiant young men than any other Northern units, lays the background for an intriguing book. William Child was very articulate, writing home continuously to his beloved wife (whom he requested on numerous occasions to his wife to destroy his letters - fortunately Carrie did not follow his instructions). Read their condensed history above to envision what their eyes saw and their minds and bodies partook. One entry proves interesting that on October 29th, 1863, the good doctor went to the Boston theater, where Booth was the actor - Hamlet the play. Ironically, 2 years later, Dr. Child would be at Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865, an eyewitness to Abraham Lincoln's assassination by Booth. This book is a good read with many direct descendants adding their skillful literary talents, far too many to list here. It is interesting to read how one descendant was torn between keeping this within the family or publishing it for the masses. Finding a treasure trove, does one hoard it or be willing to share this fine diary for contemporaries and future generations to enjoy? Thankfully, this now belongs to the ages. I highly recommend this book to anybody's Civil War library." Reviewed by Ronald A. Mosocco, the owner of this website.
