Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Seventy-Sixth Regiment New York Volunteers No apology were necessary for writing the history of such an organization as the Seventy-sixth Regiment, were it well written. Nor can the writer claim credit for it except as credit is given for the attempted performance of duty. Intimately connected with the organization and early experiences of the Regiment, intensely interested in everything pertaining to it, and looking back with unalloyed pleasure to every day of his association with the officers and men, the writer had half written this book before he ever dreamed of its assuming a book form. Great men - as men are estimated by their eagles and stars will easily enough find their way into history; shining quite too frequently with a light emanating from a patriotism farther down in the scale of promotion, while the patriotic private who endures the hardships and does the fighting, dies in obscurity. With the sincere desire that patriots in the rear rank, as pure as ever shouldered a musket in defense of the right, may be awarded their meed of fame, and that a Regiment which hewed its way to glory, may not be forgotten in the multitude of similar organizations of Freedom´s defenders, this volume is sent forth. The pressing demands of an arduous profession, must plead in mitigation of the sentence of a discerning public for the imperfect manner in which this duty has been done. The effort has been made to make this work a truthful record of the doings of this Regiment; exact in detail of incidents, times, places and persons. That errors have crept in is quite likely. The facts have come from a great variety of sources, and it would be, indeed, surprising should there prove to be no inaccuracies.
