Excerpt from Reunions of the Twentieth Maine Regiment Association at Portland Assistant Surgeon, N. A. Hersom, promoted to Surgeon of the 17th Regiment, was also present with his regiment. The members of the regiment, who arrived Wednesday, reported at Grand Army Hall, where the afternoon was passed in renewing acquaintances. At 4 P. M. the regiment formed under command of Brevet Lieut. Col. A. W. Clark, with Lieut. S. L. Miller as Acting Adjutant, and joined the column for escort duty, after which a collation was served by the city in City Hall. At 6 1-2 o'clock a column in three divisions was formed, each regiment wearing the badges and carrying the Hags of their respective corps. There were about fifteen hundred veterans in line and it was said to be the most notable procession of men that ever marched in the State of Maine. The men were conveyed by the barge and steamers to Little Chebeague, an island in Portland harbor, where tents bad been pitched and immense bonfires were burning. An artillery salute and fireworks welcomed the veterans to the island. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
