Biographical History
Charles Brown Thurston, printer, bookkeeper, and Union soldier, was born 10 June 1843, in Portland, Maine, and died 20 January 1920. During the Civil War, Thurston served with the 13th Maine Infantry under General Neal Dow. His regiment was stationed at Camp Beauford (Augusta, Maine); Ship Island, Mississippi; Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip, Louisiana; and New Orleans, Louisiana. He was also a clerk to Gen. Dow in Pensacola, Florida. Thurston commanded two work details of African American troops in the construction of levees near Donaldsonville, Louisiana. He was reunited with his regiment in Virginia in 1864, and mustered out in 1865. Except for some time spent in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1866-1869), Thurston lived in Portland, Maine, until his death.
