Initially, it was attached to the Department of the South until April 1862. The regiment's early duties included operations in South Carolina, particularly at Hilton Head and Edisto Island. The 1st Massachusetts was present at many of the significant Eastern Theater battles that involved cavalry engagements and operations. The 1st fought at the First Battle of Pocotaligo (October 22, 1862), the Battle of Antietam (September 17, 1862), the Battle of Fredericksburg (December 11-15, 1862), the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863), the Battle of the Wilderness (May 5-7, 1864), the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House (May 8-21, 1864), and the Siege of Petersburg (June 1864-April 1865). Perhaps the 1st Massachusetts's most successful campaign came at the Battle of Chancellorsville (April 30-May 6, 1863). The regiment participated in General George Stoneman's destruction of vital Confederate railroads that were used to access Richmond for food supplies and arms. As a result of Stoneman's efforts, Confederate General Thomas \"Stonewall\" Jackson could not be redirected to Richmond, where more capable doctors could tend to his wounds after he was struck on May 4th. Jackson died at Guinea Station on May 10th. In December 1863, four new companies (I, K, L, and M) were added to the regiment. They continued to serve in various capacities, including provost marshal duties and headquarters assignments within the Army of the Potomac. The regiment was mustered out of service on June 29, 1865, and discharged at Readville on July 24, 1865.","This collection contains an invoice detailing the issue of new uniforms and blankets to a detachment from the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry made at Hagerstown, Maryland during the month of November 1862 following the unit's skirmishes in the Shenandoah with Confederates at Snicker's Gap, Markham Station, and Manassas Gap.","The Library believes that all or nearly all material in this collection is likely to be in the public domain, free of copyright restrictions.

David Bartlett wrote an early and influential campaign biography of Abraham Lincoln and served as the Clerk of the Committee on Elections in the House of Representatives. The letters describe her travels to Washington and the scene in the nation's capital shortly before the close of the Civil War. She tells her impressions of Lincoln and other political and military officials, accounts of public events, private parties, sightseeing excursions in and beyond the city, and the trends of ladies' fashion. Most letters are from Nellie to her family, most to her parents, but one to her grandmother. Also included is a letter written by her grandmother while Nellie was in Washington and a letter from her mother to Nellie while she visited her Grandparents in September. There is also one letter addressed to a woman named Sadie, written by Nellie's grandmother.

Ellen began to write at a young age, principally focusing on her surroundings in New Haven. One of Bartlett's earliest books was \"Bits from Great Grandmother's Diary\", a collection of insights from her great grandmother who lived in Farmington and experienced the Revolutionary War. Ellen's great grandmother also served as an official editor for the Colony (later State) of Connecticut. Ellen's seminal work was \"Historical Sketches of New Haven\", published in 1897.

It offers a portrait of mid-nineteenth century New Haven, Connecticut through the exploration of centuries of history, photographs, architectural analysis, and folklore descriptions.

David Bartlett wrote an early and influential campaign biography of Abraham Lincoln and served as the Clerk of the Committee on Elections in the House of Representatives. The letters describe her travels to Washington and the scene in the nation's capital shortly before the close of the Civil War. She tells her impressions of Lincoln and other political and military officials, accounts of public events, private parties, sightseeing excursions in and beyond the city, and the trends of ladies' fashion.
