| Summary | "The County Regiment" by Dudley Landon Vaill is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of the Second Regiment of Connecticut Volunteer Heavy Artillery during the Civil War, originally formed as the Nineteenth Volunteer Infantry. It likely focuses on the regiment's formation, experiences, and contributions to the war effort, underlining the significant role played by Litchfield County and its residents. The opening of the work establishes the regiment's origins and the context of the Civil War, highlighting the intense patriotism and volunteerism that accompanied the conflict's onset in the early 1860s. Vaill describes the establishment of Litchfield County's regiment through community meetings and enlistments, emphasizing the determination and solidarity of its citizens. The narrative touches on early battles, the rigors of military life, and the leadership qualities of its commanders, including Colonel Elisha S. Kellogg. The tone combines reverence for the soldiers’ sacrifices with an analysis of the broader implications of their contributions during this tumultuous period in American history.
