Photocopy of Section B, Page 5, of the New Haven Register, which contains six articles (vignettes and photographs) about Winthrop collected by Bernard Heinz. Winthrop was mustered in on 26 April 1861 and was mustered out on 3 June 1861 at Big Bethel, Virginia. Winthrop wrote the account "March to Washington" for the June 1861 edition of Atlantic Monthly. Winthrop was a writer of some renown and much promise. Some claim that Winthrop was the first Union officer killed in battle in the Civil War though it is unclear whether Winthrop's rank of major was anything other than a courtesy title.
