Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Second Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry: In the War of the Rebellion Thirty years age and more, the present writer published a History of the Second Regiment - an unpretending little volume which has received much greater commendation than its author had even a suspicion it was entitled to. Its chief, and perhaps only, excellence lay in the fact that it was a "free-hand" sketch of the regiment´s adventures and misadventures, dashed off while the events narrated were still as but the doings of yesterday in mind and memory. That little volume is now quoted as one of the scarcest of all the war histories, and the stray copy which occasionally finds its way into the market commands an almost fabulous price. The present work is in no sense a re-writing or revision of the former volume. The writer has had at his command a great deal of material not then conveniently available, from which he has attempted to construct a reasonably complete and fairly satisfactory history of the regiment. He has carefully avoided all "padding." The aim has been, not to see how large a book he could make, but rather into how few pages he could condense the material he had, without omitting or slighting matters necessary to a proper understanding and appreciation of the regiment´s career. He has also carefully avoided the temptation to indulge in lurid descriptions, and has told the story he had to tell in the straightforward, concise narrative form which has seemed the fittest setting for the Second´s great deeds. The writer fully appreciates that his most exacting critics will be the grizzled old fellows who in their glorious young manhood wrought the deeds of which this book is a record. If it but passes muster with them, he has little care for what others may think or say. To you, living or dead, comrades of the Old Second, this volume is affectionately inscribed and dedicated.
