70 tho Friends, Relatives and Sur
vivors of the Old First Brigade:
Tho publisher Of "Dickcrt's lis,
tory Of Kcrshaw's BriSado' takes;
pleasure in announcing that this
work has passed beyond its doubtful
s!ngc, and is now reality Tho
work Of printing is now well under
way, and will soon be- ready for the
binder. 1t is the wish of those who
have undertaken tho publication of
the history to mako it as holno.lilic
realistic, and attractive rs possible,
and nothing will add moro to this
purpose than having it cmhrllshcd
with cuts and cngravings Of those
who let and commanded, for SO long
a time, and under such trying
orlcalS, this nohio band Of immor.
tails. Thoy would oven like to have
the cuts of all wrro it possible or
practical, but this not being the ease,
they will have TO content themselves
with only the illustrations of tho
captains Cor company commanders,
coloE"ls, and brigadicrs, and their
field and stair officers.
AS wo havo said Mt tho outset of
tins undertaking, tho history is not
written nor published for gain or
pro1lt, but moro rs memorial vol
um", and the publisher does not feel
warranted from a financial point of
view, in making this outlay Of ready
cash to meet these requirements. AS
the author has spent so much Of his
time, to say nothing Of tho expense,
in getting up this memorial to the
worth and valor Of his old comrades,
without compensation, it is tho hope
OF tho publisher that tho friends and
survivors will como to his aid; and
ho makes this proposition: Any of
tho friends Of tho nbovo named Off
GERS, who will send tho publisher Il
photo or picture Of the officers
named, enclosing five dollars-thrcc
dollars for the cut and two dollars
tor ono volume of the history-hc
Will have a nico picture or cut Of
such officer inserted in the book, and
one volume delivered without addi
tlonal expense to tho person furnish,
ing tho photograph and paying
1.-Two dollars. This will about cover
tho actual expense Of tho engraving
and publication.
Capt. Dickort has writton a valu-
able history, and as Il record OF tho
events, description Of battles and
camp life, sketches of officers, and
tho life Of q soldier as seen from tho
ranks and tho battle line, it stands
unrivalled as history from tho Con-
fedorato standpoint, and it is now
duty the friends and survivors of tho
Old First Brigade owo to their chill
dren and to posterity to furnish these
illustrations rs q fitting tribute to
tho brave officers, dead and alive,
