Standing 5 ft. 6-1/2 in. tall and featuring a light complexion, light eyes, and light hair, James was a 20-year-old Abington, MA Shoemaker when he enlisted on Jul. 24, 1862 and was mustered Aug. 20th as a Private in Co. C of the 38th Massachusetts Infantry. His regiment left the Bay State at the end of August and after duty in Baltimore steamed toward Louisiana, reaching New Orleans on Dec. 29th. The year of 1863 featured a number of movements in the western part of the state before they settled and fronted Port Hudson with their Corps from May to July. The Port fell on July 9th after repeated assaults. In the spring of 1864, they marched with Nathaniel Banks’ forces in his Red River campaign before being ordered to Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, with James wearing double chevrons on his sleeve indicative of a Corporal, to which he was promoted on Jan. 1, 1864. After his regiment fought two battles in three days in September, fate would begin to signal William’s lack of a future when he was taken prisoner at Cedar Creek, VA on Oct. 19, 1864. Forwarded to Lynchburg, VA on the 23rd, James was subsequently sent to Salisbury, NC on an unknown date. Salisbury, though far less well known than other Civil War prisons such Andersonville or Elmira, was their equal in claiming prisoner lives and James’ was forfeited due to Chronic Diarrhea on Jan. 23, 1865. Like 95 per cent of those who met similar fates at the prison pen, his unidentified body was placed in one of a series of trenches and covered with earth to remain undisturbed forever.
