WAR HISTORY.
The Annals CT the Third Tennes-
see Regiment to be Collected
and Published,

1t Is my purpose to prepare a
memorial volume of the. Sd Tennes
see Regiment. AS basis, ] have
access to the record kept by Maj.
L. @. Barber to the date of his
death. This record is very COM
plete and gives not only the history
of the regiment and each company,
but the record of each individual
down to and including the battle of
Missionary Ridge. 1t is intended
to continue the record to the close
OF the war. In order to do this, /
earnestly urge every member Of the
regiment to send me letter at once
giving his personal record during
the entire war, but specially from
the battle of Missionary Ridge to
the close of the war. Let each
member of the regiment state the
following facts and answer the fol-
lowing questions: In what battles,
skirmishes and engagements did
you participate during the war
while with the 3rd Tennessee? Were
you wounded; if so, in what en-
gagement and what was the nature
of the wound?
1 hope every member of the reg
iment will put himself to the troub-
lie to send an answer to these ques-
tions as soon as he sees this call
and his personal record will then be
completed and published. Where
members of the regiment. were
killed during the war or have since
died or have moved off so that they
can not furnish the information,
will not their families and friends
furnish it? 1t is very desirable to
have the name of every member who
died on the field of battle or from
wounds received, and Roll of Hon
or will be published of all such,
showing their full names, company,
where killed, or mortally wounded.
l hope every member of the regiment
and every friend and relative of
the dead soldiers will contribute to
make this part of the record per-
feet. Some soldiers kept diaries. /
hope all who have them will put
them at my service. They are inval-
liable for dates, memoranda, etc. Any
one who has copy of the muster
roll when the final surrender came
and of the roll call on the memora-
BILE morning Of the surrender will
confer special favor by furnishing
it. Finally, I desire that every
member of the regiment will feel it
to be his duty to write something
for this book. Give your recollec-
lions of events, battles, marches,
seiges, hardships, fun, camp Incl
dents, and especially incidents CON
nected with the death of your com
rades in camp or battle, camp anec-
dotes, and in fact anything and ev-
that you imagine will be
Of interest or information, always
giving dates, names and places as
as possible. 1 want the
post office address of every member
and ask you to give it Of every man
you remember, so that the volume
will be computed. Every member
contributing any information, anec-
Tote, sketch or event will appear in
the book as contributor.
The book will contain about 800
pages and will be Issued as soon as
possible and sold as cheap as its
publication will allow. I do not
publish 1t to make money but as a
abor of love. 1t is intended to be
l memorial volume for the survivors
If the regiment and their friends
md the friends and relatives of de-
ceased soldiers. Nothing to wound
'r offend in any way will appear in
t. Every member of the regiment

ice and send all the information

great extent the completeness and |
accuracy Of the volume. Do not |

lier so that / can correspond with |
