7th Maine

The 7th Maine is one of 48 Infantry Union Units the player can choose from.

History
As part of the second, three-year call for more volunteers, the 7th Maine came to the fore out of Augusta, Maine in August of 1861. They missed out on the first Battle of Bull Run, but quickly shipped down to Maryland, and then to Washington to attach to the Army of the Potomac. After serving guard duty around the capital, they joined in the Peninsula Campaign, and also helped take part in the Maryland Campaign. Towards the end of the battle after a full day's worth of hard fighting, the 7th were ordered by Colonel William Irwin - later forced to resign for being a drunkard - to charge the Piper Parm in order to clear out Confederate snipers. Despite what was in effect a suicide charge, Major Thomas Hyde led his 180 men into a flury of shell and shot, and managed to retreat them again with only twenty-five lost.
