His Transformation from a
Raw Recruit to a Veteran
ILLUSTRATED

CEW BOOKS in the lit
erary history of this
Z country had such in
stantaneous success and wide
popularity as the Isl Klegg"
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers. and these increased
III geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told of the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is a
universal agreement that it is
far the best story OF the ex-
perience of the enlisted men
in the Union Army that has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is so
truthful, SO like his own ex-
perience that the veteran III,
stantly recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
cinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros Of
the story see the fun then-
selves at once and the
author yividly depicts II.

To Preserve Truth of History.

One of the great purposes of this or
ganization is to preserve and record the
truth of history on the treatment and
exchange Of prisoners of war in the
great rebellion of 1861 to 1865. This
history is recorded not to excite bloody
hate, but rescue from oblivion the life
and services of those Union soldiers
surviving the crucible of battle, were
overpowered by the enemy. sent to
prison, there suffered, languished and
died as their full measure of devo-
ton" to their country.
After AppomattoX the authorities Of
a restored Union gathered from the
trenches as much Of the bodies of these
patriotic dead as could be united and
identified as separate individuals and
buried in individual graves in different
National cemeteries.
Thru the influence Of this Association
monuments as tributes TO the memory
of these martyrs TO liberty and union
have been erected by several States at
the more prominent prisons. Ohio.
Massachusetts, Michigan. Rhode Island
and Wisconsin have monuments in the
stockade at Andersonville; New jersey,
Maine, Iowa, Connecticut, Indiana, Hi
nois and Pennsylvania in the National
Cemetery there. New York has appro-
priatcd and will soon erect. Maine has
IA monument to its dead at Salisbury
and Pennsylvania is erecting one there
soon 10 be dedicated. While, then, the
great purpose of this National Associa-
ton of surviving prisoners is to pro-
mote comradeship that comes from q
common service; TO preserve and de-
clare the truth of history about the SER
vice, capture, treatment and fate Of
Union prisoners Of war and TO do honor

Gen, Grants Order.

Under the general principles of mod
ern civilized war and after the cartel
for exchange agreed on between Gen.
Dix and Gen. D. H. Hill, at Fortress
Monroe, July %, 1862, the prisoner
captured in line of duty was entitled
really to prompt exchange. In the
crucial times, however, of the war, in
the Summer of 1864, when the rebel
Government, for some advantage to it
self, had apparently abandoned their
proclamation against exchanging negro
soldiers or their officers, was pressing
for exchange, Gen. Grant, pressing the
campaign in Virginia, telcgraphed the
important order: "It Is hard on our
men held In Southern prisons not TO
exchange them, but it is humanity to
those left In the ranks to fight our bat
ties. Every man released on parole or
otherwise becomes an active soldier
against US at onre, either directly or in
directly. If we commence the system
of exchanges which liberate all prison.
ers taken, we will have to fight On till
the whole South is eXtcrmnated. If
we hold those caught, they amount to
no more than dead men. At this par
ticular time to release all rebel prison.
ers North will insure Sherman's defeat
and would compromise our safety
here" 1t has always been my opinion
the Union soldiers, suffering as they
were in rebel prisons, were doing
great service in 1864, by keeping out
of the field the many thousands we'll
