History of the Forty-Eighth Regiment M. V. M. During the Civil War

Synopsis

I have undertaken to write a history of the Forty-eighth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers, in the Civil War in diary form from the commencement to the close of the service. Undoubtedly much more might have been written giving many interesting particulars concerning the different companies and incidents relating to individual members of those companies, but I have thought best to write a modest, true and valuable presentation of the main features of the services rendered by the regiment to the Government. It is not an easy task to write such a history as will please everybody. I hope my efforts will be reasonably and charitably considered by my comrades.
