Pair of Union documents, includes: Document Signed by Captain John S. Davis, 90th Pennsylvania, 1pp. quarto, May 27, 1863, and states that Samuel Campbell of "Co. SS" 15th Mass has not been mustered for pay. Research shows that Samuel G. Campbell served in the 1st Massachusetts Sharp Shooters at this time and not the 15th Mass. Very good condition...plus; Manuscript song entitled "Song of the Convalescent Camp" 4pp. folio, by Samuel G. Campbell. Fine condition. The company was originally recruited for Colonel Hiram Berdan's sharpshooter regiments. When the men were informed that they would lose their enlistment bounty, they declined to join Berdan's regiments and instead remained independent. The company was attached to 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division, II Corps, Army of the Potomac, but nominally operated with the 15th Massachusetts Infantry to July 1864, and with the 19th Massachusetts Infantry to September 1864. The 1st Company Massachusetts Sharpshooters mustered out September 6, 1864.
