1898 Maine at Gettysburg Report

It was a scattered regiment, but the men were trained for just such emergencies, and every man could fight his own battle."

     I recently found a great deal on the legendary Maine at Gettysburg 1898 Commissioner's Report and couldn't wait to share some of the treasures found inside.  We first came into contact with this exceptional resource while researching at the Maine State Archives in April.  This is an essential source for Company D, since our very own Captain McClure was on the commission.  This is however, a must for anyone portraying a Maine unit that served at Gettysburg.  I messed around with finding the best way I could share the information and my phone seemed to be the best option and quality for that I had.  We hope this helps inspire or guide your research.  There is fantastic details like how Company D was at Plum Run at 3:30 p.m. on July 2. 

Other units contained in the report include:
  • Hall's 2nd Maine Battery
  • 16th Maine Regiment
  • Steven's 5th Maine Battery
  • 3rd Maine Regiment
  • 4th Maine Regiment
  • 17th Maine Regiment
  • 20th Maine Regiment
  • 19th Maine Regiment
  • Dow's 6th Maine Battery
  • 5th Maine Regiment
  • 6th Maine Regiment
  • 7th Maine Regiment
  • 1st Maine Cavalry
  • 10th Maine Battalion
