Martha and the Vandellas sing “Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide”

Martha and the Vandellas sing “Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide” (Touch the Elbow - Blogging the Civil War)

Until recently we never had much information on 48 men who enlisted or were drafted into the 18th Massachusetts, but never assigned to a Company in the Regiment. We didn’t know why they weren’t assigned, just that they weren’t. In the most cases we had little more than a name, age, and maybe their occupation. No date of muster. No date of discharge. A recent trip to the National Archives cleared up most of the mysteries, although there are some still untold stories due to the lack of a military service record being on file.
