can it be done than by putting it in in,
book form as has been done by Gen.sl
TERRELL? That he has done his
work well we are confident The ar
Of the various regiments
and their officers is so complete and
perfect that reference can be made to
any one of them at moment. This |
will be the mere and the better appre-
ciated, as time rolls on, and the names |
OF men and even regiments become
if not actually forgotten.
We feel confident that no Book of |
Record in any of our public or pri. /
yate Libraries. will be more frequently |
consulted in years to come than this |
same Adjutant Generals Report.
