• catalog abstract ""In May 1861, following the attack on Fort Sumter, President Lincoln issued a call for seventy-five thousand volunteers. Following his graduation from Phillips Exeter, Henry Newton Comey enlisted in the 2nd Massachusetts Infantry, one of these volunteer regiments. He served through the entire Civil War, entering as a private and rising rapidly through the ranks, becoming a captain in 1864. Comey's writings provides a unique portrait of the soldier's life; rarely does one find primary source material covering the same period from the same individual in different genres. But Comey wrote his family often during the war, kept a journal for most of 1863, and, shortly after Appomattox, composed a memoir of his military experiences." "A Legacy of Valor intersperses Comey's letters and diary entries with his memoir to provide a fascinating account of a Union soldier's life. Comey saw some of the war's most privotal battles, including Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, as well as witnessing Sherman's March to the Sea. This descendent of Scottish and Revolutionary American patriots wrote with honesty and increasing graphic detail as the war progressed, from a stirring account of patriot games to a disgusted recollection of being "beaten by an army of half our number." Comey revealed his commitment to the Union cause by reenlisting when his term was up. An educated young man, his observations and political commentary reflect his evolution from eager young private to hardened veteran."--Jacket.".
