Excerpt from History of the Ninth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion The survivors of the Ninth New Hampshire volunteers have experienced unusual difficulties in the preparation of their regi mental history. Soon after the Rebellion it was the unanimous desire that such a volume Should be compiled by George H. Chandler, but his death, August 12, 1883, prevented the fulfil ment of this hope. By that unfortunate event his comrades were deprived of the story which might have been told so well by their former major, a man of quick parts and of pre-eminent ability in military and civil life. They did not, however, aban don the enterprise, and John E. Mason, first lieutenant of Com pany D, was Chosen historian in due time. He had made some progress, when in August, 1891, Herbert B. Titus was associ ated with him; but Death, intervening a second time, March 5, 1892, called away the lieutenant, and left to the associate the accomplishment of the unfinished task.
