Regimental History
FIFTY-FIRST REGIMENT
MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER MILITIA
(INFANTRY) NINE MONTHS
The 51st Regt. Mass. Vol. Mil. was raised largely in southern Worcester County as a part of Massachusetts' quota of nine months troops. Its rendezvous was Camp Wool, Worcester, Mass., where the recruits gathered in the early fall of 1862, Col. George H. Ward of the 15th Mass. Regt., who had lost a leg at Ball's Bluff, being commandant of the camp. The companies of the 51st were mustered in between the 25th of September and the 14th of October. A. B. R. Sprague, an
officer of the 25th Mass. Inf., was commissioned colonel, and under his command the regiment left Camp Wool, Nov. 25, 1862, proceeding by rail to Boston, where it immediately embarked on the transport MERRIMAC bound for North Carolina. After a rough voyage it reached Beaufort, N. C., Nov. 30,
proceeding thence by rail to Newbern. Here it was assigned to Amory's Brigade. Not until Dec. 5 were arms issued to the regiment and the men instructed in their use.
On Dec 11, the 51st was assigned to the Goldsboro expedition. Proceeding with it as far as Beaver Creek Bridge, it was delayed there to guard the crossing at that
important point. Continuing on after the main body on Sunday the 14th, it overtook the column Tuesday the 16th while it was engaged in the battle of Whitehall. During the battle of Goldsboro, Dec. 17, the 51st guarded the wagon train and was not in action. It returned to its barracks on the Trent River near Newbern on Sunday the 21st.
Company "G" was sent to Brice's Ferry, Dec. 30, to do guard and outpost duty, and there remained during the entire period of the regiment's service in North Carolina. On Jany. 17, 1863, seven companies took part in an expedition to
Pollocksville, five of them proceeding as far as Young's Cross Roads, and having a skirmish with the enemy at White Oak Creek, returning to Newbern, Jany. 21.
During the month of February the regiment suffered much from the ravages of disease and especially from an epidemic of cerebro-spinal meningitis, a number of men dying of the latter disease. Early in March several companies of the regiment were distributed at various points along the railroad between Newbern and Morehead City, while others were stationed at Beaufort and Evans' Mills, Colonel Sprague being assigned to the command of the District of Beaufort, which included Fort Macon. Company " C " became a part of the garrison of this
fort. On May 4, the regiment returned to Newbern much improved in health, and reoccupied its old camp on the Trent River.
On June 24, 1863, the 51st was ordered to Fort Monroe. Arriving at this place on the 27th, it was ordered to report to General Dix at White House where a force was being collected to attack Richmond. Arriving at White House, June 28, it was almost immediately ordered back to Fort Monroe. Here the colonel offered the services of the regiment for emergency duty until the Confederate army under General Lee should be driven back from Pennsylvania, and it was immediately transferred to Baltimore, Md., where it remained from July 1 to July 6, searching houses for concealed arms, guarding prisoners from Gettysburg, etc.
On the date last mentioned it was attached to a provisional brigade under Brig. Genl. H. S. Briggs, the other regiments being the 8th, 39th, and 46th Massachusetts. Proceeding to Sandy Hook, Maryland Heights, and Fort Duncan,
opposite Harper's Ferry, it remained at the latter place until July 12 when it started for Funkstown, Md., in front of the Confederate position at Williamsport, and here on the following day it joined the 1st Corps, Army of the Potomac.
The night following its arrival, the Confederate army recrossed the Potomac. On the 15th the regiment was sent with the 1st Corps to Berlin, Md., where the Union army was preparing to cross the Potomac in pursuit of Lee. Here the 51st was detached from the corps and ordered to Massachusetts for muster out. Arriving at Worcester, Mass., July 21, the men were furloughed for six days, after which they reassembled and were mustered out of the service July 27, 1863.

General Notes: http://members.tripod.com/pikegen/frank&.htm
Below is a copy of a letter, dated January 3, 1869, written to Frank Pike when he was 12 years old from his Aunt Lizzie of Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. Aunt Lizzie was his Mother's sister, Elizabeth Ellen (Balcom) Brown.
My Dear Frank: I suppose you will be surprised to have a letter come directed to yourself but I thought you might like to hear something about this part of Kansas and that you would, in turn, let me know what is going on in Lawrence. Last night I had a letter from your cousin, Sarah Balcom, who is a very lttle older than you are and I thought you might like to hear from her too. She wrote that she should be 12 years old the 1st day of February and I am going to try to send her a birthday present of a picture. It is called "Mama is in Heaven". You know she has no Mother. After her Mother died, which was about the time you were born, little Sarah lived with us and the morning after you came into this world I went to the room where you were not knowing that we had two babies instead of one. When upon looking into the bed where your Mother lay I saw a great black looking boy baby lying beside Sarah who was very fair and beautiful. I didn't like the looks of you very well at first and I think the old Doctor said you resembled one of the Kaw Indians. If I were you I would write to Sarah and ask her if she thinks she would know you now. Willard is not married yet and is not to be until spring. Tell your Mother that Rebecca is very homesick in Grafton. They live in one part of a house where the sun never shines and it is always dark and gloomy. Tell her, too, that June Ackley, Rebecca's sister is married in Maine to an old man. Fred and Elmer both go to school. I saw an account of the festivals in one of the Lawrence papers. I suppose you went to the one got up by the Unitarian Church. We have heard all about it so I shall look for an account of it in your letter. I don't think people can be very poor if they can give so much money to the church festivals. Did Santa Claus come to your house this Christmas? I thought of you all and remembered how happy you looked, you and Jessie, a year ago when you found so many nice presents in your stockings and I wondered if Fred would have his hung and jump as Jessie did when he saw what was in it. I want to see Fred every day. He is able to walk all around now I suppose and talks some, doesn't he? I was sorry to hear that he and Jessie have the whooping cough---I guess you are glad that you have had it. If you had been down here a few weeks ago you would have had a sleigh ride and a nice skate upon the river. I guess we have had much snow but not quite so much as you have, though it is quite muddy now. Friday, New Years Day, I thought I would have a turkey dinner so a day or two before I baked cakes and pies, and so forth and Friday cooked the turkey--I guess it was pretty good for a first attempt. At any rate we enjoyed it. Lavinda and Marvin Kellogg dined with us and in the evening we played back gammon and had quite a pleasant time. We used to board at Mrs. Kellogg's mothers'. One night last week we went to a spelling match at the school house. It was announced that this school would spell against all the others in the county but it was a cold disagreeable night and only a few came from their districts. But there was a grand spell down and as I was chosen on one side I thought I would spell--which I did--until I missed. Don't you think I ought to be ashamed to miss a word in spelling--I shouldn't have missed that time if I had not been careless. There are some smart boys and girls here and if you Lawrence boys are not wide awake they will out-do you--at least in spelling. But this is a long enough letter for the first one and I hope you will answer it. Write or print as well as you can and say that you wrote a letter before you were twelve years old and I shall be glad to answer it. Kiss Fred and Jessie for me and accept much love for yourself and your Father and Mother.
