NO HISTORIAN FOUND.
No historian has YET been found who
will undertake to write the record Of
the following brave regiments:
Twenty-iirst Regiment.
Thirty Regiment.
Sixty-eighth Regiment.
Stars Battalion. Total yet unwrit-
ten, four. And there are some other
battalons Of whom | have not found
any survivors. 1t is to be hoped
that some survivor OF tllese gal
liant commands whom | have not been
able to reach by correspondent g, on see
ing this report in the public p rints will
come forward TO discharge this patriotic
duty. Besides, as above stated, no his
torian could be found of Sew enty-third
and Seyenty-fourth-the TWO Senior
Reserve Regiments, though an old
sketch of the Seventy-thi rd can be
utilized.
1t is to be regretted thft this work
had not been begun sooner. Our com
rades are falling around us like leaves
in wintry weather. OF Il he eighty odd
historians selected already. four have
died since finishing their sketches, viz:
Captain y. W. Ray, Of tn g Sixth Regi-
ment, General Barringer Of the Ninth,
Col. W. j. Martin Of the / Eleventh., Capt.
III. Clay Wall of the Tw erty-third and
two others; Col. J. Y. .Fordan of the
Thirty-frst and Capt. NJ e. Carter OF
the Sixty-fourth, unfortuns tely died be-
fore completing theirs.
When all these sketches are in they
will constitute 1000 or J.; 90 pages OF
Invaluable and authen II material.
which viii perhaps make wo volumes.
