description: In offering this book to the public it is hoped the patient reader will forbear severe criticism, and deal with the author as gently as possible; rather looking to the merit of the subject than to the uncultivated brain that put the work together. The merit of this work lies principally in the heroic struggle of the regiment, in the forthy-seven months of service, in lending its aid to the supptession of the late unholy rebellion. Its hard marches-its desperate and stubbornly fought battles-its patient endurance, fortitude and courage, have neveryet been fully told; and although attempted by the author in this work, he is candid enough to acknowledge that is is too feebly portrayed to give the casual reader an iddea of its full extent.
