Summary: "The Old Sixth Regiment, Its War Record, 1861-5" by Charles K. Cadwell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles the experiences and battles of the Sixth Regiment of Connecticut Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War, highlighting their challenges and achievements. The work serves as both a memorial and a tribute to the courage and commitment of the soldiers who fought for the Union. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing the formation of the Sixth Regiment against the backdrop of the Civil War's early days. It details the recruitment of diverse men from various professions, unified by the calling to defend their country. Cadwell describes their initial training in New Haven, the emotional farewells to families, and the regiment's subsequent journey to the front lines, where they undergo rigorous drills and experience the harsh realities of military life. His use of a personal diary to document these events enriches the narrative's authenticity and emotional depth, providing readers with a vivid glimpse into the lives of the soldiers and their patriotic fervor.
