Fifth Regiment Volunteers?\nNew Hampshire’s “Fighting Fifth” Regiment fought in numerous battles throughout the Civil War\, and earned a reputation for its tenacity and combat readiness. By the end of the Civil War\, this regiment had suffered more dead and wounded men than any infantry or cavalry regiment in the entire Union Army. \nThe regiment’s first substantial contribution to the war came on May 28\, 1862\, when they built the famed Grapevine Bridge (pictured here)\, “passable for artillery\,” across Virginia’s Chickahominy River and its swamp within just two days. \nJust three days later\, Colonel Cross (leader of the Fighting Fifth) wrote in his private journal: “Confederates had driven Casey’s Division from its camp and captured a large amount of property. The arrival of Sedgwick’s Division alone saved the army from disastrous defeat\, and be it remembered Sedgwick’s Division crossed the Chickahominy swamp on the bridge of logs 70 rods [385 yards] long\, built by the 5th New Hampshire Regiment! Let the impartial historian remember this.” \nOver the course of the Civil War\, 31\,650 New Hampshire men served in the Union Army\, representing over ten percent of the state’s population. The Fifth Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers remained active until the war ended\, with nearly 2\,600 soldiers passing through its ranks. Throughout the Civil War\, the regiment sustained 1\,051 casualties\, including 473 deaths. The Fifth Regiment carries the unfortunate but honorable distinction of having suffered more dead and wounded men than any infantry or cavalry regiment in the entire Union Army.

SUMMARY:8/22: INFORMATIONAL MEETING: Saving the Historic Pear Yard School
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about the historic Pear Yard School!\nTo gauge the level of community interest in and support for preserving Rollinsford’s historic Pear Yard School\, the Association for Rollinsford Culture and History (ARCH) will host an informational meeting at 6 pm on Tuesday\, August 22 at the Colonel Paul Wentworth House on Water Street in Rollinsford. \nThe Pear Yard School on Rollins Road was built in 1854 to replace an earlier 18 th century schoolhouse which stood near a pear orchard belonging to Andrew Rollins. Until the construction of Rollinsford Grade School in 1936\, the Pear Yard School was one of four one-room schoolhouses where children living in the rural areas of Rollinsford were educated\, and as such it represents a tangible link to Rollinsford’s agricultural and educational past. \nDATE: Tuesday\, August 22\nTIME: 6:00 PM\nLOCATION: The Colonel Paul Wentworth House \nAn important outcome of the meeting will be the formation of a steering committee of local citizens who would be interested in working on the project. Agenda items for the meeting include the feasibility of preserving and restoring the schoolhouse; the costs involved and possible sources of funding for the project; potential uses of the building; and its eligibility for the state historic register. Also\, because the schoolhouse must be moved from its current location\, another important topic will be the logistics of moving the building and possible new sites. \nARCH has applied for a mini grant from the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance to hire a consultant to prepare a condition assessment of the schoolhouse\, and Andrew Cushing from the Preservation Alliance will attend the meeting to report on the results of the study\, provide guidance\, and answer questions. \nSEND YOUR INPUT\nInterested persons who are not able to attend the meeting or who have additional questions are encouraged to send an email to ARCH at paulwentworthhouse@gmail.com.
