1t is to be regretted that this work
had not been begun sooner. Our com
rades are beginning to fall around u:
like leaves in autumn. OF the 80 his
torians selected, already three have
died-Gen. Barringer, of the First Cav.
airy, just after finishing the sketch O
his regiment, and Col. J. V. Jordan.
of the Thirty-frst Regiment, and Capt
NJ. E. Carter, of the Sixty-fourth Regi
ment, unfortunately before completing
theirs.
When all these sketches are in they
will constitute 1000 or 1,2oo page:
of invaluable and authentic material,
which will perhaps make two volumes.
You have already appointed com
mittee to reques, the Legislature te
authorize the printing and binding o
this matter by the State. Had care beer
taken to have similar sketches of each
Of our regiments in the Revolutionary
and other wars written by participants
it would be exceedingly interesting
and valuable. But North Carolina
who has always known how to MAKE
history, has been careless in recording
the deeds of her heroic sons. Nor
than 1900 years ago, Pericles, in hi
Grafton over his countrymen who hae
fallen in great war, said with pro
phetic truth: "The whole earth i
their sepulchre and in all times when
ever there is speech Of great deed
they shall be held in loving remem
brance. 1t is our duty, the duty o
our State and Of this generation, t
see that the same Immortality shal
preserve the fame of our brethren VIII
died in behalf Of North Carolina ant
the Confederacy.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER CLARK.
