Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the First Brigade, New Jersey Volunteers: From 1861 to 1865 Compiled Under the Authorization of Kearny´s First New Jersey Brigade Socitey The work here presented is intended to fill a space in the history of New Jersey´s soldier sons, heretofore neglected. That so long a time has elapsed since the deeds recorded were performed before any record of them was attempted, must be attributed to the modesty of the men who made that record on the battlefields of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. This unfortunate display of modesty has lost to the readers of this work many incidents of personal bravery and sacrifice that would have given both interest and charm to it. New Jersey sent forty regiments to the field of battle, in Virginia. North Carolina and the West, and out of the great number of men who volunteered, but a handful are now living. Many of these have forgotten the incidents or have but an indistinct recollection of them. For this reason the work is a review of its marches and battles only, and the standard works on the War of the Rebellion have been used to compile it. Grant´s and Sheridan´s memoirs, Generals Michie, Palfrey, Butterfield, Humphrey, Duc de Chartres, Foster, Williams, Stein, and others have been freely consulted. The official "Records of the War of Rebellion," published by the United States government, supplied the framework upon which the work rests, and orders and correspondence have been quoted as well as reports. The First New Jersey Brigade, composed originally of the first three regiments that were mustered into the United States service of three years, was without a brigade general until the ideal soldier, Kearny, took command.
