The Collector's Showcase CS00412 20th Massachusetts Firing Set
American Civil War
The 20th Massachusetts was one of the hardest fighting
regiments in the Army Of The Potomac. Of the 2,000 Union
regiments engaged during the Civil War, the 20th suffered some
of the highest losses. Through their tenacity and bravery the
unit earned the right to file in first at the head of the Corp
column. The 20th was known as "The Harvard Regiment" because of
the large number of Harvard educated officers. As a unit in the
Second Corps, the 20th Massachusetts fought in battles from
Balls Bluff, Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness all the way to
Appomattox Court House.
