Book
Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Original edition. Subtitle: A History of Its Part and Place in the War for the Union, with an Outline of Causes of War and Its Results to Our Country. Previous owner name on flyleaf, possibly one of the members of he unit. Rear cover missing. Front cover and spine detached but present. 516 pages, plus unnumbered pages of name index, of which the pages after Timothy M. Mason are missing. Portrait photos of many officers. Also photos of battle sites. A late Civil War source book, late because the unit's members, though they often discussed, at their reunions, the need for a history of the unit, it just didn't get organized enough until 1903. A fascinating work. The second paragraph in the introduction reads thusly: "The First Maine Heavy Artillery, formerly the 18th Maine Infantry, made for itself a record it did not seek. It stands recorded as the Regiment that lost more men, killed and wounded in battle, and the largest percentage of losses in battle, and it also lost a larger number of men in a single battle than any regiment in the United States service in any war." In bad condition but it seems to be almost all there, but very loose, and can be read, up to the Mason family name in the roster index. Pages missing after that point. Photos. Index.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. SUBTITLED: A History of Its Part and Place in the War for the Union, with an Outline of Causes of War and Its Results to Our Country; With Organization, Company, and Individual Records by Charles J. House. BOOK DESCRIPTION: 8vo, xiii, 516 pgs, ii, a-x pgs, index, frontis portrait, other portraits and illustration plates; errata page. Unit roster 222-407. Original blue cloth, gilt titled spine. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Spine faded, small amount of wear to spine ends. Interior is clean and tight. With clear, mylar wrapper. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: The regiment was mustered in Bangor, Maine, in 1862 as the 18th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment and consisted mostly of men and officers from the Penobscot River Valley. The regiment's name was changed in 1863 to the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery Regiment, and it served in the defenses of Washington, D.C. before being reassigned to the Army of the Potomac during the Overland Campaign in the spring of 1864. At the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, the regiment took its first heavy casualties 6 officers and 76 men killed, and another 6 officers and 388 men wounded. At the Second Battle of Petersburg, however, an ill-advised charge across an open field toward Confederate breastworks on June 18, 1864, resulted in the greatest single loss of life in a Union regiment to occur in the war, with 7 officers and 108 men killed, and another 25 officers and 464 men wounded. The 1st Maine Heavy Artillery is identified as one of the Fox 300 Fighting Regiments. REFERENCES: DORN Maine #6; NEVINS pg. 157: Although the author s writing tends to become overly dramatic, this history possesses much personal and statistical data on a unit that suffered heavy losses in Virginia. FOX 300 pg 125: "Of the 2,047 regiments in the Union Army, the First Maine Heavy Artillery sustained the greatest loss in battle. Not only was the number killed the largest, but the percentage of killed was exceeded in only one instance. Again, its loss at Petersburg June 18th, was the greatest of any one regiment in any one action, during the war. It made the charge that day with about 900 muskets, losing 632 in killed and wounded.".
