On 5/11/1861 he was commissioned into "K" Co. CT 3rd Infantry He was Mustered Out on 8/12/1861 at Hartford, CT On 9/13/1861 he was commissioned into "I" Co. CT 7th Infantry He Resigned on 1/27/1864 Promotions: * Capt 8/26/1861 (As of Co. I 7th CT Infantry). THE Seventh Regiment Connecticut Volunteers was organized at New Haven in August, 1861, under the first call for three years men, and contained a large percentage of the lately discharged three months volunteers. Their previous experience, drill, and discipline so ably seconded the zeal of the officers that the regiment was soon reported ready for active service. Alfred H. Terry of New Haven, late Colonel of the Second Regiment, was commissioned Colonel, with Joseph R. Hawley of Hartford, late Captain of "Rifle Company A," of the First Regiment, as Lieutenant-Colonel, and George F. Gardiner of New Haven, as Major. The regiment, one thousand and eighteen strong, was mustered into the United States service at New Haven, September 17, 1861, and started next day for Washington, D. C., where it was brigaded with the Sixth Connecticut and Third and Seventh New Hampshire regiments, under command of Brigadier-General Horatio G. Wright.* After three weeks of constant drill the regiment moved to Annapolis, Md., October 8th, where drill was continued until October 19th, when it embarked on steamer for Fortress Monroe, Va., the rendezvous of the Sherman-Dupont expedition, then preparing to sail under sealed orders. Leaving Fortress Monroe October 29th,and encountering a series of heavy gales which wrecked some vessels and scattered the fleet, the regiment arrived off Port Royal, S. C., November 4th. At the bombardment of Port Royal and the capture of Forts Walker and Beauregard on the 7th of November, the Seventh was the first regiment ashore and into the rebel fortifications, and its colors the first to float over the soil of South Carolina since her secession; an historic fact noted by Governor Buckingham in a congratulatory order which was read before every Connecticut regiment then in the field. After six weeks of very heavy work on the huge fortifications projected at Hilton Head, the Seventh occupied Tybee Island, at the mouth of the Savannah River, Ga., December 19, 1861, and devoted the entire winter to the erection of masked batteries for the reduction of Fort Pulaski, situated on Cockspur Island, adjoining. This was a most arduous task, owing to the swampy nature of the soil and close proximity to the fort, which compelled the men to work on the batteries only by night, while the days were devoted to landing artillery and ordnance stores two miles farther down the beach (beyond the range of the rebel guns), and in drilling as heavy artillerists for the bombardment when the batteries were finally completed. The work of hauling timber for the batteries, a well asremoving the immense guns and mortars more than two miles through deep, shifting sands, or deeper and apparently bottomless swamps, where the ponderous "sling-carts" crushed the corduroy roads deep into the treacherous morass (often needing the entire available force of the regiment to move a single gun), was a most formidable undertaking indeed, being all done by night, as the batteries were built upon an open marsh, where there were neither trees nor bushes to conceal operations by day; but the work was completed early in April, 1862. The first 13-inch mortars used during the war were mounted and manned by men of the Seventh, who were drilled by an officer of the regular artillery in the intervals between "night fatigue" details. During the bombardment of Fort Pulaski, on the 10th and 11th of April, 1862, the Seventh manned nine of the eleven batteries engaged, being under fire more than thirty hours, rendering most efficient service, and was once more accorded the honor of being the first to enter and occupy the captured fortress. Then followed many weeks of "fatigue duty," the Yankee facility of adaptation soon transforming the late amateur artillerists into equally expert bricklayers, every available man being employed in rebuilding the fort so lately battered down, or in dismounting and removing the heavy guns in the batteries on Tybee Island. May 19, 1862, Colonel Terry was promoted to Brigadier- General of volunteers, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hawley to the vacant colonelcy. June 1st the regiment left Fort Pulaski, and on the 6th occupied James Island, S. C., the first step towards the investment of Charleston. Frequent skirmishes and an incessant shelling of our lines followed this and subsequent advances, and on June 16th culminated in the battle of Secessionville or James Island. The Seventh was one of the leading regiments to attack and last to retreat, fighting stubbornly to the rear, losing eighty three officers and men (a large percentage killed), and receiving the warmest praise from brigade and division commanders. Holding their position in the face of a victorious enemy in superior numbers until July 20th, they then evacuated James Island and returned to Hilton Head, after a bloody and dearly bought experience at the front. Offensive operations at various points in the Department of the South kept the Seventh constantly employed, though with slight losses, until October 22, 1862, when they were engaged in the battle of Pocotaligo, S. C., sustaining a loss of twenty-nine killed and wounded. Frequent expeditions all along the coast from Charleston, S. C., to St. Augustine, Fla., divided the regiment for many months into small battalions, one of which, consisting of Companies A, B, I, and K, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel C. Rodman, led the charges on Morris Island, S. C., July 10th, and on Fort Wagner July 11, 1863. The attack on Fort Wagner was made at night. The Seventh gained and carried one face of the fort, but the supporting regiments were unable to endure the heavy fire and fell back in disorder before reaching the fort, leaving the little battalion entirely unsupported. Holding their position more than an hour, nearly surrounded, outnumbered five to one, their only field officer (Lieutenant-Colonel Rodman) dangerously wounded, and no re-enforcements being sent to their aid, they had to retreat two miles down an open beach under an enfilading fire of artillery and infantry, without cover or support, losing 104 out of 191 officers and men. The general commanding announced "The Seventh Connecticut has covered itself with glory." Strengthened by the arrival of Colonel Hawley with the remaining six companies from Florida, the Seventh took a prominent part in the siege of Forts Wagner, Gregg, and Sumter, building "Swamp-angel Battery," etc., besides furnishing heavy details of officers and men for artillerists, having sole charge of the 300-pound rifled Parrott, the heaviest gun on the island. Pushing their trenches constantly forward under a very heavy and continuous fire, night and day, five distinct lines of earthworks were finally erected, though with heavy loss, the fifth parallel being established within thirty yards of the face of Fort Wagner, and preparations were being made for carrying the fort by storm when the rebels evacuated the island on the night of September 7th, leaving us in possession of their works. These were at once rebuilt (to face the other way) under the concentrated fire of ten heavy batteries, from which we suffered many casualties. Heavy guns were mounted, which commanded the entire city of Charleston, as well as their whole line of batteries, effectually checking all offensive demonstrations, and on the 16th of October, 1863, the Seventh returned to Hilton Head, having been in the trenches and constantly under fire for ninety-eight days. Encamping at once on St. Helena Island, the entire regiment commenced drilling as "boat infantry," manning a fleet of flat-bottomed boats, each carrying twenty men, propelled by six paddles on a side instead of oars, to insure noiseless maneuvers. Gaining the required proficiency in this amphibious warfare after two weeks of constant drill (in which the veterans declared they were fast becoming "web-footed"), the regiment was sent back to Folly Island under special orders, and held in readiness for a night attack upon Fort Sumter from October 30th till November 17th, when the project was abandoned. Returning to St. Helena Island, the regiment was relieved from boat duty and resumed infantry drill. Early in December their old Enfield rifles were exchanged for Spencer repeating carbines, their sadly thinned ranks were again filled to the maximum by recruits from the North, and drilling was continued with increased vigor to put the new material on a war basis. During December, 1863, three hundred and thirty-three original members of the regiment re-enlisted for three years under the provisions of the "Veteran Act," and on January 13, 1864, went North for a furlough of thirty days in the State. The remainder of the regiment soon went on an expedition into Florida, and were engaged in the battle of Olustee, February 20, 1864. During the inland march from Jacksonville the Seventh was in the advance during the entire day, and on the skirmish line next day when the battle opened, was actively engaged until its close, losing sixty-nine officers and men; then covered the retreat, acting as rear-guard for eighteen miles, doing much by coolness and courage to retrieve the disasters of the expedition. On the second day's march, still in the rear, they pushed by hand along the railroad several abandoned cars loaded with valuable stores, which were brought safely into Jacksonville.Encamping on the line of outposts at "Six-Mile Creek," where they were rejoined by the returning "veterans" early in March, the next six weeks were spent in the most arduous and trying duties at the extreme front. April 13th they were ordered to Fortress Monroe, Va., and thence to Gloucester Point, Va., to report to General Wistar, and on May 5th started up the James River under General Benjamin F. Butler. May 6th the regiment was assigned a position on the Bermuda Hundred front, constantly reconnoitering and skirmishing till the 10th, when it took part in the battle of Chester Station. From the 10th till the 17th it was almost continually engaged at various points in the advance on Richmond, losing two hundred and five men. June 5th the Seventh was in action on the Bermuda Hundred front, losing ninety-four men, and again on the 17th, with a loss of thirty men. Constant skirmishing and outpost duty, with frequent casualties, gave the regiment no rest day or night, and on August 13th it crossed to the north bank of the James River; was in action at Deep Bottom on the 14th and 15th, and at Deep Run August 16th and 18th, with an aggregate loss of forty-five men. On September 17th Colonel Hawley, who had commanded brigades for months, was promoted to Brigadier-General. Lieutenant-Colonel Rodman had been disabled early in May, and Major Sanford was captured June 2d, so the Seventh was virtually commanded by line officers during the greater part of the "battle summer" of 1864. From September 29th to October 27th the Seventh participated in five engagements before Richmond, losing in all seventy-nine men from a small battalion of less than two hundred. November 2d the regiment joined a detachment sent to New York to assist in quelling the draft riots, but none of the force was landed. Remaining on transports until November 14th, and then returning to the Richmond front, this brilliant record of service in Virginia closed with two months of winter outpost duty under shelter tents. January 3, 1865, the Seventh, as a part of "Abbott's Brigade," accompanied General Alfred H. Terry on the "second Fort Fisher expedition," leading the final and victorious charge of the brigade after the charge of the sailors and marines was repulsed with heavy loss. A series of minor engagements during the hotly contested advance upon Wilmington resulted in the capture of that city February 22, 1865, and the enemy was being steadily pushed back towards Raleigh when the surrender of the Confederate army under General Johnston virtually ended the war in North Carolina. The Seventh Regiment was mustered out of service at Goldsboro, N. C., July 20, 1865, returning by rail to City Point, Va., thence by steamer to New Haven, where it arrived July 29th, and went into camp at Grapevine Point until final payment and discharge August 11, 1865, after serving three years, eleven months, and twenty-five days. *Wright's Brigade, as finally organized under Sherman, was reported, February 28, 1862, to consist of the Sixth Connecticut Volunteers, Seventh Connecticut Volunteers, Ninth Maine, Fourth New Hampshire, and Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania regiments.
