When the companies had all gathered we took the steamer Elm City for New York. There we boarded a big vessel starting for the Gulf of Mexico. From there we followed in the wake of the army that took the forts on the Mississippl. We stopped at New Orleans, then covered the state of Louisiana. After two years there we re-enlisted. The next service was through the battles of the Shenandoah under Sheridan. Fearless and daring, his men were always ready to follow him. Cedar Creek was the scene of the worst battle. After 24 hours’ fight- ing we retook our captured guns with 59 more, and thousands and thousands ot prisoners, which practically annihi- lated Early’'s army, one of the strong- est armies of Its size that the confed- erates had. From that reglon we went to Fortress Monroe, then south, where we stayed the last year, guarding the stuff that Sherman had captured in his march to the sea. From Fort Pulaski we went to New York and then home. The only thing I have that went through the war are these bits of the shot-rid- dled flag that was carried at the head of our regiment. The rest of the flag is in Hartford with the other army flags of the state. At the West Town street school all the pupils gathered in the senior room. Poems were recited, also the Gettys- burg address, and patriotic songs were sung. All gave close attention to Mr. Prices’ talk, which was of his per- sonal experience in different battles, and an account of the prisons, espe- clally :‘Andersonville, Letter from Mrs. Zumbro. At the First Congregational church Sunday morning a letter was read from Mre. William M. Zumbro thank- ing the church for their part in the gift of the Victrola.
