Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Army Life: Or Pen Pictures From the Battlefield, the Camp, and the Hospital It is believed that, however rough the outlines may be, they are faithfully and correctly sketched. More accomplished artists may glance at such outlines, drawn, as they have been, amid the excitements and dangers of the camp and field, and which have been traced by those who mingled in the scenes described; they may correct all the erratic lines of the humble sketchers, fill in where there were only unmeaning blanks, finish what was unfinished and imperfect, and leave, for the admiration and safe-keeping of future generations, critically correct and elaborately finished pictures, that will live and be admired ages after such humble sketches as the following will have been buried beneath the waves of oblivion. However imperfectly the work of tracing the Lights And Shadows Of Army Life may have been done, it has been a labor of love. Undertaken at the repeated and urgent solicitation of friends, both in and out of the army, it has been prosecuted with a twofold purpose, namely, to pay an humble tribute to the bravery, integrity, and moral worth of our patriot heroes, and bring before the Christian public facts connected with the religious experiences of our soldiers in the field, and place upon record facts and incidents which testify to the saving power of the Gospel. Other and abler pens have given thrilling narratives of the devotion, zeal, unflinching courage, and heroic endurance of our brave defenders, and others will yet be employed in the same noble work.
