HISTORY
OF THE
SECOND MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT OF INFANTRY.
BEVERLY FORD.
A PAPER READ AT THE OFFICERS' REUNION IN BOSTON,
MAY 12, 1884,
BY
DANIEL OAKEY,
CAPTAIN SECOND MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT OF INFANTRY.
BOSTON:
Geo. H. Ellis, Printer, 141 Franklin Street.
1884.
BEVERLY FORD.
JUNE 9, 1863.
In taking up the thread of Captain George A. Thayer's admirable chapter upon the Chancellorsville campaign, we find the regiment baling out their old log pens, on a dark night, in the rain.

killed at Chancellorsville.
It was at this very camp, about a month before, that the gallant and lamented Colonel Shaw, then a captain in our regiment, left us to organize and command that fated battalion, the Fifty-fourth Colored Massachusetts.
Here, we again formed a mess with the officers of the Third Wisconsin; and our former caterer, Charley Johnson, and his colored staff, managed the table d'hôte. Those who were fortunate enough to be present will remember the surprise party given to us by the officers of the Third Wisconsin in our canvas dining-room,
