"We can have but one country, one Constitution and one destiny:' the Union must be preserved." Gov. Nathaniel S. Berry
From May 1861 to December 1864, twelve New Hampshire Civil War regiments and a cavalry unit mustered on "The Plains" and other nearby locations in Concord. Here they gathered to equip, train, and await orders, living in tents or temporary barracks. 32,486 soldiers from NH served in the war, which cost the state at least 4,840 lives more than 1% of the population. 21 soldiers from NH units were awarded the Medal of Honor, established 1861.
