Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Seventh Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, Hawley's Brigade, Terry's Division, Tenth Army Corps, 1861-1865 At the thirty-fifth annual reunion of The Seventh Connecticut Regiment Association, held at Meriden. September 7, 1904. the following resolution was passed. Resolved: That Comrade Stephen Walkley be. and is hereby appointed historian, and authorized to compile a history of the Regiment from 1861 to 1865. In accordance with the above resolution this volume has been compiled. The authorities principally consulted are: 1. Official Records of the War of the Rebellion. 130 volumes and 175 maps. Published by the War Department. These are referred to in notes as "Official Records." For the use of these I am indebted to the courtesy of Congressman E. Stevens Henry. 2. A complete itinerary of the regiment compiled from private letters by Capt. E. Lewis Moore, A. A. G. By his permission I have copied freely, sometimes changing phraseology to adapt it to other parts of the narrative. For the many cases in which such changes impair his felicitous style I confidently expect pardon. 3. Extracts from Company Records furnished by O. S. Firmin of the Auditor's Department in Washington. 4. The Company Records of Co. H. loaned by the late Lieut. W. F. Goodyear. 5. Numerous private letters, journals, etc., which cannot be specifically mentioned. 6. Verbal accounts gathered by attendance at thirty-two company and thirty-five regimental reunions.
