Excerpt from History of the Eighth Regiment Vermont Volunteers 1861-1865 At several reunions of the Eighth Vermont Regiment of U.S. Volunteers, the opinion was freely expressed that a regimental history ought to be published, in order to preserve in a permanent form the records of its service and achievements. In pursuance of this idea, committees were appointed at different times to obtain materials for such a volume and solicit contributions to the work from members of the command. Although some progress in this direction had been made, no decisive action was taken until the reunion held in Montpelier in June, 1885, At that meeting the subject was agitated afresh, and ex-Gov. Barstow offered a resolution that the undersigned constitute a committee of publication, with power to prepare and print the contemplated book. To make the enterprise immediately practicable, ample pecuniary aid was pledged, subject to the order of the committee, and the material already in the possession of the regimental secretary. Dr. C. M. Ferrin, and a member of the committee, was placed in their hands to be used as a basis for the history, and the work was inaugurated by the choice of George N. Carpenter as historian.
