following as the history of the 29th Regiment Connecticut Volunteers
(Colored):
"Recruiting for this regiment began early in the autumn of 1863, and by
the latter part of January, 1864, the maximum number had been enlisted.
During its organization the regiment was stationed at Fair Haven, Conn.
On the 8th of March, 1864, the regiment was formally mustered into the
service of the United States.
"No field officer had as yet reported, but on the 12th of March William
B. Wooster, formerly lieutenant-colonel of the 20th Connecticut
Volunteers, reported to the regiment, and soon after assumed command.
"On the 19th day of March the regiment formed in line, and after the
presentation of a flag by the colored ladies of New Haven, marched on
board the transport "Warr
