This full color register comes matted and framed and meas. approx. 21.50 inches x 27.00 inches. The frame has some age to it.

The decoration on the register begins with a spread-winged eagle at top with a “USA” patriotic shield with panoply of flags. Beneath this is a battle scene. This in turn is flanked by a scene of a soldier sleeping in camp dreaming of his wife at home and under that is a scene of soldiers writing home. The opposite side depicts a wife sleeping dreaming about her husband at war and below that is a scene of her getting a letter from the front. Beneath this upper decoration is the company roster in three columns with each being separated by a decorative stanchion. The first column lists the Privates, the second lists Company officers, Sergeants and the Field & Staff Officers while the third column lists the remainder of the Privates and the names of those killed. The very bottom of the piece has the muster in date and place flanked by a scene of the soldier leaving for war and another scene showing his home coming. Each scene is flanked by a list of battles that the 5^TH Vermont took part in from April 1862 to November of 1863.

The surface of the register is in good condition with a small water stain at upper left and one at bottom left and though it is framed there is a bit of waviness to it.

The 5^th Vermont was part of the Vermont Brigade consisting of the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5th and 6^th Vermont Infantry. The 5^th saw action on the Peninsula at Savage’s Station, Fredericksburg, Salem Church, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor Monocacy, Winchester, Fisher’s Hill, Cedar Creek and Petersburg.

A nice memorial to a hard-fought regiment.  [ad]
