| Notes |
- The 19-year-old Joseph Herrick enlisted in Co. G, 32nd Maine Infantry Regiment on March 29, 1864. By this point in the war, the earliest regiments created in Maine were mustering out with the expiration of three-year enlistments. When asked to create a few new regiments over winter ’64, Maine came up with the 2nd Maine Cavalry (destined for the Florida Panhandle) and the 31st and 32nd Maine infantry regiments, which were sent to Virginia. Being the oldest son, Joseph had helped out immensely by supporting his family. “Some neighbors wrote testimonials on how Henry and Ruth depended on their son for income prior to and during the war,” Tracey McIntire informed “Maine at War.”
“Joseph apparently worked in the lumber industry and was often paid in grain, which he would carry home on his back,” she wrote.
At 5-8, Joseph was 2 inches taller than his dad. He had blue eyes, light hair, and a light complexion. He was probably quite muscular from all the hard physical labor he had to do.
By the time he enlisted, Joseph could earn an approximately $300 bounty that, by the standards of farmers eking out a living in the Oxford Hills, was magnificent. “A neighbor wrote that Joseph gave his enlistment bounty to his parents so they could purchase a farm in Greenwood
