Biographical History
The 29th Regiment of the Connecticut Infantry was the first black regiment in Connecticut. Organized at Fair Haven and mustered in March 1864. After duty in Maryland and South Carolina, the regiment engaged in siege operations against Petersburg and Richmond, Virginia. After the occupation of Richmond in April 1865, the regiment guarded prisoners of war at Point Lookout, Maryland. In June of 1865, the 29th was shipped to Texas, arriving at Brazos Santiago on July 3. The regiment marched to Brownsville, Texas, where they were stationed until October, returning to Connecticut for discharge in November via a route through New Orleans.
