Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Civil War From Diaries of Members of the 103d Illinois Volunteer Infantry, 1904 Comrades: In placing this book in your hands the duty of your Committee is finished. Whether it is poorly or well done, is for you to say. When one considers that it is more than thirty-nine years since we were "mustered out" of the service, he will realize the difficulties we labored under. Papers and documents that were plenty even thirty-five years ago are lost. We have had access to The Rebellion Records, General Orders, and histories of other organizations, as well as diaries of our own Comrades, but in many cases they did not agree. The difficulties of arriving at the truth were greater than one would suppose. A guarantee fund for the cost of publication was secured from the Comrades and their Friends. As none of the Committee are in any degree "literary," the work must be a real failure in that respect, but as a record of what we saw, and did, it is worth all it costs. That there will be many errors, there can be no doubt, but we hope they will do no one serious injury, or injustice. It will at least show the few who may take the trouble to read it the part we took, when the Volunteer Army of the United States saved the Nation.
