"[Josiah Clark Converse] served in the Northern Army [i.e. the Army of the Potomac] in Company F, 15th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. He enlisted on the 4th of July 1861, and was discharged on the 28th of July 1864. He was in the Battle of Ball's Bluff, and in nearly all the battles of the Peninsula campaign, beginning with the siege of Yorktown in April 1862, and ending with the close of the seven days' battles in the vicinity of Richmond about the 1st of July 1862. He was wounded at Antietam, and on account of his wound was away from his regiment until December 1863. He was with his regiment in the spring and summer campaign of 1864, beginning with the Battle of the Wilderness the 5th of May, and ending in front of Petersburg the 22d of June. This last included a series of battles near Spottsylvania Court House, and the Battle of Cold Harbor. He was taken prisoner near Petersburg, Va., 22 June 1864, and was moved to Libby Prison, whence, however, he was very soon liberated on parole. Not long after he returned with his regiment, and with his regiment was discharged in July 1864."
