List of Hawaiians who served in the American Civil War

COUSINS IN THE WAR.

Under this head we will place first Colonel S. C. Armstrong, (though Captain Conde has already been spoken of,) because he so faithfully remembers us in all his wanderings, and even snatches time amidst all his multitudinous cares to write the Society, or sends directions for his home letters to be shared by us. His account of Thanksgiving in camp, published in the Maile Wreath, was enjoyed by all who read that paper; and his last letter, dated in camp during Christmas and New Year's week, was a most valuable one, giving much information as to the amount and kind of work he has to perform in commanding a regiment. Our Cousin is now Colonel in the regular army, 8th United States colored troops, 25th Army Corps. At the issue of our last report he was stationed at Port Royal, South Carolina. During the past year he went on an expedition to Florida, and returned safely. At the opening of Grant's campaign south of the James, he was recalled to Virginia. Here in the trenches before Petersburg he spent tome months of most laborious service. He fell ill from exposure and the want of sleep, and was in the field hospital a few weeks, but soon resumed his station. In March of this year he took a furlough and visited New York, and at last accounts had again taken his position at the front, and we confidently hope we shall be able to record that he was one of the victorious favored heroes who entered proud Richmond and witnessed the finale of the war.

June 20th.—Since reading this report, news has been received confirming our hopes, but the particulars are meagre, for our Cousin wrote with his left hand, his right arm having been broken. He was in Fortress Monroe Hospital, and had received while there his commission as Brevet Brigadier General.

Soon after our last annual meeting the sad news was received of the death of Lieutenant Joseph C. Forbes, instantly killed on the 31st of May, 1864, at Dallas, Georgia, by a rebel sharp-shooter. His remains were embalmed through the efforts of his brother William and sent to his parents in Kendalville, Indiana. So here we add a second name to "Hawaii's noble dead " from our ranks.

William T. Forbes, who was transferred during the year 1863 from the Army of the Potomac to the West, was engaged in many battles, among them Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain, participated in all Sherman's noted campaigns, went with him in the world-renowned march through Georgia, and was a while in Savannah. While there he was virtually Governor, being appointed Assistant Adjutant General and Chief of Staff with Major General Geary. He now holds the rank of Major and Assistant Adjutant General in the regular army. Latest news from him was that he was moving north with Sherman's army. Still later, (June 20th,) we hear he was safe at Goldsboro.

Theodore Forbes has been on the Reserve Corps guarding rebel prisoners in Indianapolis for the past two years. This is a very irksome and most responsible post, but we presume our Cousin will be released from it very soon now.

Mr. W. Goodale enlisted last September as a private in the 11th Massachusetts Battery, Battery Brigade, 9th Army Corps, and was sent at once to the front—has been stationed in the forts before Petersburg, and much of the time under hot fire, but had been wonderfully preserved up to last dates.

In this connection we may mention that his children, who are all members of our band, are in Marlboro, under the care of Mr. and Mrs. David Goodale.

James P. Chamberlain, who left Copperopolis (rather a Copperhead town at that time) last August, carried out his strong Union sentiments by returning to the United States and at once enlisting as a private in the 106th New York Regiment, 6th Army Corps, and immediately entered on the service. He was sent from one post to another rapidly till he reached his regiment in the Shenandoah Valley, and was called in two weeks time to face battles, being an actor in the famous battle of the Shenandoah, which was first a defeat (the army being surprised at early dawn and Sheridan absent) and was afterwards turned to such a glorious victory. His regiment was one which stood when many fled. He was wounded in the thigh, and was in the hospital all winter. At latest dates, March 15, he had fully recovered, rejoined the army, and been transferred to another regiment, and was at Camp Fry guarding the defenses of Washington.

Mr. W. H. Dimond, who left us last summer, has served in the army in various ways since he left, and is now at Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Dr. T. Munson Coan, whose experience during the bombardment of Mobile has been extensively read in the Advertiser, is still connected with the navy, and is stationed off Mobile.

Having thus ended the list of those who have in different ways aided in this great war for Freedom, (God grant that another year we may not need to devote so much space to a war list,) we turn to our next topic, which may perhaps be headed

• Of the twenty-five Hawaii boys who had joined the Union forces, four Lt. Joseph Cochran Forbes, Lt. Goddard, Capt. John Griswold, and Pvt. Henry Hoolulu Pitman were among the battle dead. An other, Eli Samuel Kuggles died of natural causes while serving as assistant surgeon of the army. Fortunately, two native Hawaiians, Kealoha and Kaina, who served with the colored troops, had not been injured. Late in the war, Armstrong came upon them, and reported that they all had "a good jabber in kanaka." FOREIGN
