Mustered! Foot Soldiers of the 12th
Jeayne Fahey, whose great-grandfather, Capt. Richard W. Musgrove, had been a foot soldier with the 12th N.H. Regiment during the Civil War, prepared a DVD as an accompaniment to her book, "Mustered! Foot Soldiers of the 12th," which she published based upon the papers she found in her ancestor's trunk.
Fahey got caught up in the tales of the Civil War soldiers when the Bristol Historical Society contacted her, seeking information about Musgrove in preparation for the dedication of a new bridge in his honor in 1998. She found galley proofs with notations by Musgrove regarding hundreds of war diaries, personal accounts, and lithographed portraits also preserved in the trunk, stored in her attic.
In her book and the DVD presentation, Fahey traces the three-year journey by New Hampshire's 12th Regiment as they made their way to the Civil War battles, including Gettysburg — a journey that largely had been lost to history.
The book is listed at amazon.com for between $109.95 and $140 but is being sold here at $33. The DVD is available for $24.
