520			_a"Gen. Cowdin and the First Massachusetts Regiment of Volunteers" by Robert Cowdin is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, specifically during the period of the American Civil War. The book details the experiences and challenges faced by Cowdin as he leads the First Massachusetts Regiment in its formation, deployment, and various military actions. It serves as both a personal memoir and a record of the regiment's early days, capturing the fervor of volunteerism and the complexities of military leadership during a tumultuous time in American history. In this narrative, Cowdin recounts his efforts to organize and equip the First Massachusetts Regiment amidst bureaucratic challenges and political maneuvering. He describes his initial offer of service to the Governor of Massachusetts, the eventual appointment as Colonel of his regiment, and his dealings with both state and federal officials regarding supplies and support. The text reflects on themes of sacrifice, honor, and frustration as Cowdin navigates the difficulties of military life, including his eventual promotion to Brigadier General and the obstacles he faced from political influences that hindered his career advancement. His story highlights the dedication of the soldiers and the complexities of civil-military relations during the Civil War era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
