Stowe, Maine
Monroe Quint was my second cousin, separated by four generations. He enlisted in the 17th Maine when the regiment was raised in the summer of 1862. He got his baptism of fire at the Battle of Fredericksburg, fought at Chancellorsville, and fought in the Wheatfield at Gettysburg. On July 3rd, during the Confederate artillery bombardment before Pickett's Charge, Monroe was killed by an artillery explosion. He was 19 years old.
