| Summary |
"The Story of the Thirty Eighth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers" by George W. Powers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work details the experiences and operations of the Thirty Eighth Regiment during their service in the Union Army amidst the American Civil War. The narrative aims to highlight the regiment's movements and experiences rather than a broader examination of military campaigns or strategies. The opening of the book sets the stage for the formation of the Thirty Eighth Regiment in the summer of 1862, outlining the urgent recruitment efforts made in Massachusetts in response to the ongoing conflict. Powers begins by discussing the state of the nation and the sentiments surrounding enlistment, sharing the initial experiences as the soldiers gathered at camp and prepared for service. It also introduces key figures, such as Colonel Ingraham and Lieutenant Colonel Wardwell, who were instrumental in guiding and training the regiment. As a backdrop, the unfolding events of the Civil War, including the challenges faced by the Union Army and the spirit of the young volunteers, paint a vivid picture of the time.
