| Summary | "History of Company F, 1st Regiment, R.I. Volunteers, during the Spring and Summer of 1861" by Charles H. Clarke is an historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed and personal narrative of the experiences and service undertaken by Company F during the early months of the American Civil War. Likely reflecting on events primarily from April to July 1861, Clarke draws on his own experiences as a member of the company, recollecting the call to arms, the regiment's mobilization, and their involvement in key engagements, including the Battle of Bull Run. The narrative begins with the call for troops in response to the Confederate threat and details the enthusiastic enlistment of local volunteers, the preparations, and the journey to Washington, D.C. Clarke recounts the regiment’s daily life in camp, including drills, meals, and the camaraderie among the soldiers, as well as their struggles and challenges. As the story unfolds, it captures the harrowing experiences at the First Battle of Bull Run, including the chaos of battle, the bravery of individual soldiers, and the heart-wrenching losses incurred. Clarke’s account serves not only as a record of military history but also as a tribute to the soldiers' sacrifices and the strong bonds of brotherhood formed during their service.
