Henry C. Hallett - Comrade Henry C. Hallett

Who was born the second day of September A.D. 1844 in Yarmouth Port County of Barnstable State of Massachusetts

July 12, ‘62 he entered the service from Ashfield Franklin Co. Mass. as a Private in Co. F. 34 Mass Inf.

At the close of the war he received his discharge at Richmond, Va.

His first engagment was at Ripon, West Va. Oct. 18, 1863. Afterwards he was present at New Market, W.Va. May 15, ‘64, Piedmont W. Va. June 5, ‘64, Winchester, Fisher’s Hill, Stickney’s Farm, Cedar Creek, Hatcher’s Run, Fort Gregg, and Appomattox C.H. Apr. 9, ‘65.

He considered the most important events in his service Hunter’s Raid, Cedar Creek, Fort Gregg and the surrender of Lee at Appamattox Court House. He endured the most hardships during Hunter’s Raid in the summer of ‘64. They left their base at Harper’s Ferry and advanced up the Shenandoah Valley to Hamilton and thence to Lexington destroying the Military Institute. From there they passed over the mountains to Lynchburg where they met a large force sent by Lee from Richmond and were finally driven back over the mountains to the Ohio River at Parkersburg W. Va. During the retreat they had no rations and were compelled to live on what they could pick up being harrowed by “bushwackers” day and night.

At Piedmont W. Va. June 5, ‘64, he was wounded in the right hand and was confined in a hospital at Grafton W. Va.

His intimate comrades were R. H. Ranney [?], John Rowley, and R. L. Church.
