Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Fortieth Illinois Inf;, (Volunteers) Many are the citizens of Southern Illinois, who have dear friends and loved relatives in the Fortieth Illinois Volunteer Infantry; who, no doubt, would be pleased to read a plainly written volume, containing a complete history of the Regiment in which their fathers, brothers or friends did service in the glorious cause of maintaining our beloved Government in this her darkest hour of peril. And in after years, when peace will have perched on our loved tri-colored banner, it will afford the greatest delight to the weary old soldier and patriot to peruse the pages upon which are written the many transactions of the old Fortieth, or the Regiment with which they have fought, labored and suffered. To meet the two above-mentioned demands, the humble Author has prepared a small book which, though common in its pretensions, will, lie trusts, be of some interest to all, and meet the cordial approbation of a liberal public. He will not attempt writing this volume in a fancy style, or an able manner, as he is not an experienced writer, and has no favorable opportunities, even if he had the ability, of learned writers. The gifted pens of the great and learned historians of the land are busily engaged in writing the thrilling history of the dreadful Rebellion which has befallen our once happy land, and the pages of said history will be perused with eager interest; yet, they will only give the accounts of great battles, or of wondrous military operations, and sketches of the life and daring adventures of the noble and gallant leaders, who so bravely led the patriotic defenders of our country to victory or death! But in the following pages will be written the actions of the noble little band under the title of the Fortieth Illinois, led by the gallant Hicks, who organized them into a regiment, and brought them into the United States service on the 4th day of August, A. D. 1861. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
