PREFACE.
Headquarters 87th Regiment United States Colored Infantry,
SMITHVILLE, NorTH CaRoLina, July 1, 1866.
To the Officers and Enlisted Men of the
37th United States Colored Infantry:
KNOWING the deep interest felt in the history
of the regiment by every member who has shared
its services, its dangers, and hardships, and is
thereby entitled to a portion of its well-earned '
merits, I have endeavored to collect the promi-
nent incidents of its history and organization.
You will find the following pages to contain a
brief sketch of the organizing, arming, and.equip-
ping of the regiment; a summary of its services
from the time it entered the United States service
to the present date; also, the name, rank, and
date of appointment of each officer, the name and
rank of each enlisted man, (the latter arranged in

Companies, and each Company prefaced by a short
sketch of its organization,) with remarks also
appended to the names of both officers and men,
noting all changes that have taken place in the
whole.regiment.
The object, however, in preparing this work
was not to write a history of the regiment, nor to
enter into a detailed account of its operations,
but simply to furnish a brief summary of its ser-
vices, with any othe: data that might be interest-
ing to its members. It is, however, not supposed
that this work will elicit any interest from the
public at large, as it is a strictly local work, only
intended for the members, and their friends and
families, of this particular regiment, to serve as 8
remembrance to both officers and soldiers of the
most eventful period of their lives, and to pre-
serve this book in their families for future refer-
ence as sacred to the days when they were soldiers
fighting for the best government on the face of
the earth, and striving to maintain the liberty and
equality of all.
Hoping that this work may give satisfaction to
all the members of the regiment, and feeling

under deep obligations to both officers and men
for their kind assistance in getting up this work,
which I hope at least may not be devoid of some
interest and do justice to all, |

ORGANIZATION.
THIRTY-SEVENTH REGT. U. 8S. C. INFANTRY.
BREVET BRIG. GEN. N. GOFF, Jn., COMMANDING.
Companies A, B, C, D and E of this regiment were
organized at Norfolk, Virginia, during the winter of
1863 and '64, by Lieutenant Colonel Chamberlain.
To this efficient officer and strict disciplinarian much
credit is due, for the ability and perseverance he
. displayed during the organization of the regiment,
having many obstacles in his way to contend against,
the most formidable being the strong prejudice
against negro soldiers.
This feeling was happily soon banished, for our
ablest generals and statesmen were not slow to per-
ceive the importance and necessity of arming the
Freedmen, thus giving them a chance to strike a blow .
for their own liberty, which they have done manfully,
and, by their bravery and soldierly conduct, have not

| only helped win their freedom, but also the glorious
' privilege of a representation in the army and navy of
the country, which honor they probably never would
have had, if they had not shown themselves worthy
of it. Every one knows what an important and
brilliant part the colored men took during the late
war, and it is often remarked by Southern people,
now since it is all over, that if they had only armed
the negroes and allowed them to fight for the South,
they would have gained their independence, and
slavery would probably have existed in the Southern
States for many years to come-perhaps for centu-
ries.
It was under such circumstances as these, that
our first colored regiments were organized. Although
many of those that availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity offered by the Government, and took up arms
in the country's hour of danger, saw more and
harder service than this regiment, it nevertheless
has achieved a military record that every officer and
soldier belonging to it may well be proud of.
There might be much said in praise of both officers
and men who are and have been connected with
this regiment. Some of them have exhibited great
military ability, and filled the various positions they
were placed in, under the most,.trying circumstances,
ORGANIZATION, 15.
with the greatest credit to themselves and to the
service, thereby eliciting the highest commendation
from the War Department on several occasions. In
consequ�nce, this regiment is held in high repute at
military headquarters, and has been retained in the
service on, that account, being the last and best
eolored regiment remaining in this Department. .
The first five companies, as soon as organized,
were ordered to the field, with the first brigade,
third division, Eighteenth Army Corps. Companies
F and G were mustered and joined the other com-
panies in the month of May, 1864; the regiment, at
this time was engaged in active campaign duty.
Company H was soon after added, and the regiment
was ordered to the front of Petersburg, and took an
active and conspicuous part in the siege of this city ;
it was then ordered to the forts at Wilson's and
Harrison's Landings, on the James River, where it
remained until the 25th of September, when it was
ordered to Deep Bottom, Virginia, where it arrived
on the 28th of September, 1864, was immediately put
into action, and after three days hard fighting com-
pleted the reduction and capture of New Market
Heights and Fort Harrison, and for distinguished
bravery and soldierly conduct at this"battle, was
honorably mentioned by the Major-General com-
16 ORGANIZATION,
manding the right wing of the army. Although the
regiment lost a great many men, it remained upon
the field it had won, and successfully resisted the
repeated attempts of the enemy to retake the ground.
There it completed its organization as a regiment
by receiving companies I and K, which were mus-
tered into service on the 28th day of November,
1864. ,
On the 3d day of December, the regiment was
ordered to join in the first expedition against Fort
Fisher, under General B. F. Butler, where it arrived
on the 25th, but was soon ordered back to Virginia,
and went into camp at Chapin's Farm, December
29th, 1864. On the 3d of January, 1865, this regi-
ment joined the second expedition against Fort
Fisher and Wilmington, under Major-General Terry,
and near dark on the 11th disembarked, taking the
lead of the forces charged with the important duty
of cutting off the land communication between Fort
Fisher and the rebel forces in the immediate vicinity.
The regiment crossed the Peninsula to Cape Fear
River, and entrenched themselves about three miles
above the fort. Here it was forced to remain until
the surrender of Fort Fisher and the other fortifi-
cations at the mouth of the river and General
Terry's forward movement .towards Wilmington,
ORGANIZATION. 17
in which it took part, driving the enemy from
their entrenchments, and marching steadily onward
until February 22d, when, after much fighting, Wil-
mington was captured. On the same day the regi-
ment fought the enemy at North-East Station,
North Carolina. Soon after this. 'engagement iti
started on the march to Raleigh, forming a junc-
tion with General Sherman's army, at Mount Olive,
North Carolina, and remained under Sherman until
after the surrender: of General Johnston, when it
was ordered to Goldsboro' in May, remaining until
June, when it was ordered back to Wilmington, to
perform provost duty in that city, in which capacity
it gave the utmost satisfaction to the citizens, who -
expressed themselves highly pleased with the sol-
dierly manner in which these troops performed their
duty.
On the 25th of November, 1865, Companies F, I
and K, commanded by Major Weinman, were ordered
to Fort Macon, Roanoke Island and Hatteras; the
remaining companies to Smithville, Fort Fisher and
Fort Caswell, at the mouth of Cape Fear River;
headquarters being at Smithville.

Notes of Organization, etc., furnished by Capt. Gzorge WILLIE SINGER,
Since' November, 1864, the regiment has been in
command of Brevet Brigadier-General N. Gorr, JR.,
a veteran soldier, a gentleman, and an efficient
Officer, filling his position with signal success and
ability, esteemed and respected by both officers and
men under his command. General Goff was mus-
tered into the service of the United States as a cap-
tain in 1861, in the Second Rhode Island Volunteers,
took part in all the battles of the army of the Poto-

HISTORY OF COMPANY "A."
This Company was mustered into United States
service January 30th, 1864, at the entrenched camp,
near Norfolk, Virginia, as Cowhpany A, 3d North
Carolina Colored Volunteers, of General Wild's
African brigade.
The Company, since its organization, has been
commanded by Captain Constantin Nitzsche, who
was brevetted major for gallant and meritorious
services in the field. Owing to the strict discipline
observed by the officers in command of the Company,
several desertions have occurred. It may be men-
tioned, and with credit to this Company, that only
three of its members have been tried by court- -
martial since its muster in-Privates Kage Heath,
Thomas B. N. Fitzpatrick, and Richard Merrick; the
latter was acquitted.
On the 27th day of March the Company was re-
moved to Smithville, North Carolina, (Fort John-
son,) relieving Company H, of this regiment.

HISTORY OF COMPANY "C."
The Company was first organized and disciplined
under the youthful, very efficient and gallant Cap-
tain A. J. Washburn, who retired to private life as
soon after the cessation of hostilities as possible,
- with a consciousness of having won a sufficiency of
military glory and honor, having served his country
from the very commencement of the " war."
First Lieutenant George H. Bridgwater came to
his untimely death by disease, in hospital, closing a
most glorious military career. He was a most genial
companion and friend, and his premature end was
heartily lamented by all of his fellow-officers and
men under his command. :
Second Lieutenant S. H. Willis was promoted into
another regiment for meritorious conduct, in advance
of his own term in his own regiment and company.
Upon the death of First Lieutenant Bridgwater,
First Lieutenant A. C. Rembaugh was assigned to
the Company to fill the vacancy, being promoted to
Captain, vice A. J. Washburn, resigned.
First Lieutenant F. H. Moon, a veteran and battle-
scarred hero of the war, was assigned to this Company
in April, 1865, and has proved himself a gentlemanly
and very efficient officer.
Second Lieutenant S. D. Edgar was promoted �
from the non-commissioned staff.

HISTORY OF COMPANY "D."
Company D. was also organized at Norfolk, Va.,
during the early part of 1864. Took an active and
conspicuous part in all the engagements the regi-
ment was ordered into; both officers and men of
this organization deserve much credit for the fidelity
and patriotism displayed at the battle of Fort Har-
rison, the Fort Fisher Expedition, and all the other
engagements immediately following, until the sur-
render of Wilmington. This Company was detailed
to do provost duty 'n this city, in which capa-
city they gave the greatest satisfaction to the citi-
zens and speedily restored good order, when the Com-
pany was sent to form part of the garrison at Fort
Caswell, at mouth of Cape Fear River, North Caro-
lina.
