26th
Regiment
Connecticut Volunteers
Welcome
to the webpage for the Twenty-Sixth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry.
This
site is dedicated to the soldiers of this regiment whose service
included
participation in the longest siege in American military history, the
siege
of Port Hudson, Louisiana. At this site you may read the official
history
of the regiment written by Captain Gallup of Company F, view images of
various members of the regiment, view images of Generals Nathaniel
Banks,
Neal Dow, Thomas Sherman, and Franklin Gardner, view a map of Port
Hudson,
and peruse the entire roster of the regiment, separated according
to company. You may also read the entire first issue of the regimental
newspaper.
I intend to
expand
this site as more material is gathered. If you have images or letters
you
would like to see added here, please let me know. Full credit will be
given
for any submissions. I have spent many years researching the
Twenty-Sixth
and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
