ROSTER: Men of Charlestown, NH - 14th Regiment Civil War >From the History of Charlestown, NH by Rev. Henry H. Saunderson FOURTEENTH N.H. INFANTRY The Fourteenth was the last of the three years regiments raised in New Hampshire on call of President Lincoln for five hundred thousand men which followed the reverses of the Virginia campaign in l862. It was composed of intelli- gent and patriotic volunteers who appreciated the value of the nation, and did not shrink from the great conflict which was going on for its preservation. They first did good service at Washington for a year and a half. Then were ordered to the army of the Gulf and were at New Orleans; from there they were ordered to the Shenandoah Valley and participated under Sheridan in its conflicts. Their last service was at Savannah and in that region in the final scenes of the war. The history of this regiment cannot be given here, but I will say that its record is most honorable to the state and the companies that composed it. Rev. H. H.
