| Summary | "The Story of the Thirty-second Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry" by Francis J. Parker is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the experiences and stories of the 32nd Massachusetts Infantry during the Civil War, focusing on their formation, battles, and significant events they encountered throughout their service. It aims to preserve the memories of those who served and provide vivid recollections of the dangers, trials, and camaraderie among the soldiers. The opening of the narrative introduces the regiment's formation at Fort Warren, where they undergo rigorous training under the command of Colonel Justin E. Dimmock. Parker highlights the regiment's unique beginnings compared to other units, describing their isolation on the island, the challenges of their early drills, and amusing anecdotes about their adjustments to military life. Notable incidents include the humorous integration of raw recruits, the demanding nature of guard duty in harsh winter conditions, and the interactions with Confederate prisoners held at Fort Warren. The narrative sets the stage for the regiment's journey, touching on the discipline instilled in the troops and the friendships formed during their initial training.
