New Recruits
Sunday, October 4, 1863
Early this morning the Thirteenth New Hampshire Regiment detailed one hundred men to picket duty on Bowers Hill. The Thirteenth New Hampshire received one hundred eighty-one new recruits, primarily volunteers and only one who was drafted. One member of the Thirteenth observed that these recruits enlisted mainly for the money, and that "some of them, we trust, will get their money's worth."1
