Review:
Civil War papers of Frederick F. Wead of Malone, N.Y., include letters written to his father, S.C. Wead, as an officer in the 16th New York Infantry Regiment (May-Sept. 1861); as aide-de-camp to Gen. Henry W. Slocum on detached service (Sept. 1861-Aug. 1862); and as lieutenant colonel of the 98th New York Infantry Regiment (Sept. 1862-1864). Wead's letters describe camp life, garrison duties, time waiting for marching orders, and action seen during the Peninsular Campaign, in particular at Yorktown, Gaines's Mill, and Harrison's Landing (1862), and at Drewry's Bluff (1864). Wead was killed at the Battle of Cold Harbor on June 3, 1864. Additional subjects include Wead's support of Gen. George McClellan in 1861 and 1862 and charges made against Wead as commander of the 98th New York in North Carolina stemming from a dispute with Col. Alonzo G. Draper of the 2nd North Carolina Colored Volunteers regarding the latter's burning of houses and the taking of two women as hostages. Also includes manuscript maps of engagements at Chickahominy and Yorktown; returns for ordnance for the 98th New York; and letters to S.C. Wead about his son's death.
