| Summary | "History of the Forty-second Regiment Infantry, Massachusetts Volunteers, 1862…" by Sergeant-Major Charles P. Bosson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the experiences and organization of the Forty-second Regiment during its service in the Civil War, touching on various aspects such as recruitment, training, and early encounters in the conflict. It serves as a detailed reminiscence and a record of military life, emphasizing camaraderie, challenges, and notable events throughout the regiment's service. The opening of this historical account discusses the organization and initial steps of the Forty-second Regiment, as it began to recruit and prepare for duty in late 1862. The author describes the efforts of Colonel Isaac S. Burrell and other officers in establishing the regiment, the trials faced during recruitment due to dissatisfaction with the draft process, and the interactions among various companies as they sought to fill their ranks. The narrative captures the essence of military preparation, detailing daily camp life in Readville, challenges in maintaining discipline, and the experiences of the soldiers as they faced the realities of impending service.
