"I Never Was a Coward": Questions of Bravery in a Civil War Regiment by Lesley J. Gordon -- © 2005 Marquette University Press -- Lesley J. Gordon -- "I Never Was a Coward": Questions of Bravery in a Civil War Regiment By Lesley J. Gordon -- Colonel Frank Beach, pictured here after the war, struggled to impose drill and discipline on the green 16th Connecticut before its first battle.(Photography courtesy of the Museum of Connecticut History.) -- Robert H. Kellogg (R) posed with friend Oscar Weil probably before either actually saw combat. Kellogg pondered questions of cowardice and bravery frequently in his letters to family in Connectiicut. (Photogrphy courtesy of the Museum of Connecticut History.) -- The replica of "Andersonville Boy" stands today near the Connecticut state capitol in Hartford. The simple statue dedicated to all Connecticut soldiers incarcerated in southern prisons was meant to convey "courage and heroism that are developed in suffering."(Photo taken by author.) -- Endnotes -- Marquette University Press Frank L. Klement Lectures. |
