520 _a"History of the Sixteenth Connecticut Volunteers" by B. F. Blakeslee is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book outlines the experiences and campaigns of the Sixteenth Connecticut Volunteers during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on the regiment's formation, key battles, and the daily lives of the soldiers.

The opening portion sets the stage for the regiment's recruitment and early training in 1862, highlighting the initial challenges faced by the men as they transitioned from civilian life to military service. Blakeslee reflects on the demographic of the regiment, emphasizing that it consisted largely of young men from well-respected families in Connecticut.
