About Samuel Hoar, IV
Corporal Samuel Hoar
Find A Grave Memorial ID # 100066330
He was editor of the American Law Review from 1873-1879. In 1887 he became general counsel for the Boston and Albany Railroad Company.
A sequence of Samuel Hoar III's Civil War letters to his family back in Concord, Massachusetts, is in the Hoar Family collection at Concord Library. In 1862, eager to serve, Sam enlisted without parental consent into a Maine regiment, in Portland. Sam's father, Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar had him transferred to Company E of the 48th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, which left Massachusetts for New York on December 27, 1862. Then it moved on to New Orleans, and, after several months of camp duty in Baton Rouge, was involved in the attack on Port Hudson. Port Hudson was surrendered July 8, 1863. Sam's papers include over forty detailed letters home, recording his military experiences and his observations on the local landscape and people — a valuable resource for historians of the Civil War.
