ImageDescription: This memorial to the Twentieth Massachusetts Infantry, 1861-1865, is one of two guarding the main staircase in the Boston Pulic Library. Note the list of actions in which this unit fought: Ball's Bluff, Fair Oaks, Glendale, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Marye's Heights, Gettysburg, Bristol Station, The Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and Appomatox Court House. Since this unit was active from the beginning to the end of the Civil War, and fought in some of that War's bloodiest battles, it appears likely that few if any of the unit's original members survived to the end of the War. This was just one unit's part in the human cost of saving the United States from armed treason.;
