Excerpt from Record of the Service of the Forty-Fourth Massachusetts Volunteer Militia: In North Carolina August 1862 to May 1863 The Forty-fourth Massachusetts Regimental Association has been fortunate in one circumstance. The regiment was so largely made up of clerks and students who are now business or professional men in Boston, with common ties of residence and occupation as well as of army service, that the yearly meetings of the Association are more largely attended and more heartily enjoyed than are the reunions of regiments whose members have become scattered and estranged since the war. This cordial fellowship led, many years ago, to a wish for some permanent record of the service in which it had its origin. The first reunion of the Forty-fourth was held March 14, 1876. As early as the annual meeting held Feb. 5, 1879, the project of publishing a regimental history was discussed, and referred, with full powers, to an Historical Committee consisting of Charles C. Soule, Edward C. Johnson, Col. Francis L. Lee, Frank G. Webster, and James B. Gardner. At the annual meeting held Jan. 20, 1886, William Garrison Reed, Charles J. McIntire, Paul S. Yendell, John J. Wyeth, and Eben N. Hewins were added to this Committee. The original Committee selected James B. Gardner to collect material and edit the history.

This volume gathers in compact form the official historical records of field artillery units in the United States Army in order to perpetuate and publicize their traditions, honors, and heraldic entitlements. It includes the lineages and honors of Regular Army and Army Reserve field artillery commands, brigades, and groups, and corps and division artillery that have been active since 1965. It also includes the fifty-eight elements of each regiment that have been active since the inception of the Combat Arms Regimental System in 1957. This two-part second edition updates the lineages, honors, and heraldic items of the Regular Army's field artillery regiments and further expands them to include organizations above the regimental level, as well as Army National Guard units. All are current through September 1, 2003. This is the companion book of The Organizational History of Field Artillery, 1775-2003.

Clapp's letters to family and friends describe life in the Union army and conditions among wartime North Carolinians, including planters, poor whites, and African Americans. Includes 23 maps and illustrations.
In April 1862, the Civil War was entering its second year and North Carolina was rallying to supply more troops for the Confederacy. The Partisan Ranger Act, passed by the Confederate Congress on April 21, prompted local leaders to recruit companies of irregular soldiers for service in the Confederate Army. Seven such companies were banded together into a regiment to form the 4th North Carolina Cavalry: a true cross-section of North Carolina, it contained soldiers from the largest urban areas and smallest rural areas from fifteen counties. This history of the 4th North Carolina Cavalry is based largely on primary source material--the official records, letters, diaries and recollections of the soldiers. The 4th North Carolina saw action in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and was a part of General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The roster comprises a large part of the book and provides biographical, genealogical and military information about each soldier.
