"The Proceedings of the Dedication of the Soldiers' Monument at Pittsfield Mass, September 24, 1872"

INTRODUCTORY

During the first few months after the government established by the fathers of the American Republic, and held sacred by so many generations, was assailed by the Rebellion of 1861, the Soldiers of Pittsfield hurried to the field with no thought save the imminent danger of their country; but their fellow citizens sent after them, in hot haste, pledges, not only of protection and pecuniary aid to their families, but of perpetual honor and gratitude. Afterward, as the prolonged contest demanded more and more of sacrifice on the part of those who, as the representatives of the town, responded to the successive calls of the government, a part of this sacrifice was assumed in the form of bounties. But those who received this aid were assured that it was only in compensation for their pecuniary losses. For the dangers which they were to encounter; for the lives which they might lose, the reward which was proffered them, next after the satisfaction of having done their duty to their country, was that they should forever be held in memory as brave, true and patriotic men. In all the glowing and eloquent speeches with which the Park and the neighboring halls resounded in those days of danger, anxiety and excitement, these pledges were constantly repeated; often in terms, always by implication. And, by most of those who enlisted, the bounty was only accepted with full faith that these pledges were sincerely made, and that they would be ratified and redeemed by their townsmen. In this faith they were not deceived. The war had hardly closed when the attention of the town meetings was turned to the matter, and committees were appointed to consider the best means of preserving' the memory of Pittsfield Soldiers who had fallen in the war for the Union. These committees from time to time made partial reports; but final action was delayed, at first on account of the town's desire to avoid all expenses not immediately necessary, in order to speedily extinguish the debt incurred in the war; and, when that was accomplished, from some difference of opinion whether the monument should take the form of a pillar, a statue, or a memorial hall.

While the town was thus considering its plans, independent . action had uidt been neglected. Immediately after the close of the war, Mrs. Curtis T. Penn, who while it continued had become honorably distinguished for her zeal in behalf of the Soldiers, devoted herself as energetically to obtain the means for a monument to the memory of those who had fallen. By soliciting contributions, and through a fair held by the ladies in 1869, she obtained a considerable fund. But, while it was felt that it would give additional interest to the monument, that Mrs. Fenn and other ladies who had labored for the health and comfort of the soldiers while in the field should have a conspicuous share in its erection, it was also generally deemed proper and fitting that the town in its corporate capacity should take the greater part in thus honoring the memory of its representatives in the armies of the Republic. Mrs. Penn therefore suspended her labors, and deposited the fund raised by her, in the Savings Bank, to await the action of the town. In the spring of 1811 it had there accumulated to the sum of $3000. At that time it appeared to gentlemen who had from the first been interested in the matter that there should be no longer delay. The amount of the Mrs. Perm fund was made known, and the result of repeated consultation was that, at the annual Town Meeting in April, Hon. S. W. Bowerman moved an appropriation of $"7000 for the erection of "a suitable and appropriate .Soldiers' Monument." The motion was advocated by Mr. Bowerman and by Hon. Thomas Colt, who left the Moderator's chair for the purpose; and was unanimously adopted. The following gentlemen were then appointed a Committee, with full powers to carry the vote into effect: Samuel W. Bowerman, Thomas Colt, William F. Bartlett, Henry S. Briggs, William R. Plunkett, Ensign II. Kellogg, John C. West, Henry II. Richardson, Alonzo E. Goodrich, Edward S. Francis, and Henry Stearns.

Mr. Colt was chosen chairman, and Messrs. Bartlett, Colt and Plunkett were appointed a sub-committee on procuring the monument. Several designs were submitted, but that offered by Mr. Launt. Thompson of New York, an artist of distinguished reputation and acknowledged genius, was so original in thought, so striking and appropriate in character, that the committee had little difficulty in making their selection. This design, as it appeared in the first draught, represented a bronze statue of a color-sergeant, erect in line-of-battle, standing upon a square granite pillar, consisting of pedestal, base, shaft and capital. A more full description of the work as completed will be found on another page.

The original design, as submitted by Mr. Thompson, commanded not only the approval bt.t the admiration of both the sub-committee and their associates; and he was commissioned to execute it at a cost of $10,000, the contributions obtained by Mrs. Fenn being added to the $7000 given by the town. Subsequently Mr. Thompson also received the condemned cannon granted for the work by Congress, through the efforts of Hon. II. L. Dawes.

It was determined to place the monument at the west end of the Park, in or near which a large portion of the Pittsfield Soldiers volunteered, and which possessed many other associations of patriotic interest; and the Park, however beautiful, being not considered in a proper condition for the reception of the contemplated work, the town voted a further sum of $7000 for the purpose of making some long desired improvements, which were only partially completed previous to the dedication of the monument. At a still later meeting the town voted an appropriation of $2500 to enable the committee to dedicate the monument to its great purposes, with such impressive words and ceremonies as should fix them for at least one generation in the minds of the community.

In this object, they had, first, the good fortune to secure the services of Hon. George William Curtis of New York, as the chief orator of the occasion. It was afterwards determined to have other exercises than those of the platform; and such as would require very great industry, zeal, experience and good judgment. The committee therefore called to their aid in the matter of the dedication, fifteen gentlemen distinguished for those qualities, viz: Messrs. James M. Barker, Graham A. Root, Israel C. Weller, William II. Teeling, Thomas G. Colt, Samuel E. Nichols, William W. Whiting, Frederick A. Francis, William H. Coogan, Michael Casey, Seth W. Morton, George S. Willis, Jr., D. J. Dodge, Henry B. Brewster, and Erdmann Leidhold. By this committee the exercises of the day, with the exception of those on the platform, were arranged and carried out, consulting with the Town Committee as they saw occasion. Their programme consisted of a procession through some of the principal streets, which were to be decorated for the occasion by Colonel Beals of Boston; minute guns as the procession moved, and a dinner under a mammoth tent to the two thousand veteran soldiers who were expected to join in the line.

The Second Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, composed of all the companies located in the counties of Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin, had been ordered to make its annual encampment for 1872 at Northampton; but, with the consent of its commander, Colonel Parsons of that town, and of the State authorities, the location was changed to Pittsfield, in order that the procession might have a proper escort: and, by permission of the Berkshire Agricultural Society, the regiment went into camp on its spacious and beautiful grounds on Monday, September 23, numbering about five hundred men, admirably disciplined, uniformed and equipped.

Invitations were also extended to, and accepted by, the different organizations whose names appear in the "Order of Procession ;" and the bands of music named in the same list were engaged, except Gilmore's Band of Boston, which had early been employed by the General Committee, with a special view to the platform. Arrangements were made with the railroad companies for half-fares and special trains.

We print below a historical record of the regiments in which the soldiers whose names are to be inscribed on the monument, served principally collated by Mr. James Harding, of the Berkshire County Eagle, from the reports of the Adjutant General, and from other sources of information. When not otherwise stated, the regiments named are Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, enlisted for three years. The names under the head of losses are those which are to be inscribed on the monument, and include all Pittsfield soldiers who fell in the war, whether serving on the quota of the town or not, which the committee, after long and diligent enquiry, have been able to discharge.
