At Hartford,
Conn., on the nineteenth of April,1861, I first entered the service
as private, in Co. B. 1st Reg't Conn. Vols and at the close of the
war my rank was that of a Sergeant.
At the
expiration of a time of service, I was first discharged on July
31st, 1861 at New Haven, Conn.
I again
enlisted and was finally discharged at Beaufort, S.C. on Dec. 11,
1862 having achieved at that time a Surgeon's Certificate of Disability.
The first
battle I was engaged in took place at "Bull Run".
O.S. Furman,
S.D. Bennett and B. Robinson were among my most intimate comrades
while in the army.
I consider
the Siege of Pulaski, Ga. to be the most important event of my army
life.
