I also purchased 2 books on the history of his regiment the 14th NJ Infantry.
"The Monocacy Regiment" A commemorative history of the 14th NJ Infantry in the Civil War, 1862 - 1865.
Edited by David G. Martin and Joseph G. Bilby
"The Kid Corporal of the Monocacy Regiment" by John Lund
Lots to read but I am/will be enjoying it.
The musket I have is an 1861 model Bridesburg dated 1863. Since he was mustered in during Aug. 1862 he must have trained with another musket and received the Bridesburg early in 1863. Not having any information on whether his weapon was ever lost or replaced I guess it would be reasonable to assume that he carried this musket through his service and battles with Company F of the 14th NJ Infantry?
Since many forum members commented on this thread I hope those interested will know that I followed up with these updates. It would be great if anyone could answer a few more of my questions and/or could add any more information. This is a great website and I've learned much! Thanks to all!
