| Summary | "The First Regiment Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, United States Volunteers in the Spanish-American War of 1898" by Colonel James A. Frye is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book chronicles the experiences of the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery Regiment during the Spanish-American War, focusing on their preparations, mobilization, and subsequent military engagements. It highlights the pride and history of the regiment, showcasing their commitment to duty, which spans back to the Revolutionary War. The beginning of the text sets a reflective tone, describing the emotional atmosphere in Boston as the regiment prepares to march following a call to action amidst growing tensions with Spain. The narrative introduces Colonel Charles Pfaff, who is leading the regiment. As the men gather and mobilize under inclement weather, there's a palpable sense of duty and urgency. The author notes the contrast between the initial hope for active service and the reality of garrison duties, emphasizing the preparation and the spirit of the soldiers who marched through the streets. The introductory chapters lay the groundwork for the anticipation and pride that soldiers felt, providing a glimpse into their readiness and sacrifices as they entered a military engagement for the nation.
