Summary "The Twenty-fifth Regiment Connecticut Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion" is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically June 1913. The book is an extensive narrative detailing the experiences, battles, and lives of the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Regiment during the Civil War, particularly focusing on their campaigns in Louisiana. It aims to preserve the memories and valor of the men who fought for the Union and provides glimpses into their lives through various firsthand accounts. The opening of the book sets the stage for the narrative by introducing the regiment's origins, the motivations of its recruits, and their early experiences upon enlisting and training. It recounts significant events such as their embarkation from Connecticut, arrival in Louisiana, and the initial campaigns they undertook, including the fight at Port Hudson. The author, Colonel George P. Bissell, along with various contributions from members like Samuel K. Ellis, lays a foundation filled with camaraderie, hardship, and the determination of young men facing the brutality of war. The narrative illustrates the soldiers' struggles, both in the battles they faced and in their everyday life as they adapt to the rigors of military service amidst the backdrop of the Civil War.
