Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Specimen Pages of Our Heroes, Dead and Living, Vol. 1: A Memorial Record of All Officers and Men in the Military and Naval Service, Whose Names Have Received Honourable Mention in Official Reports, Newspaper Correspondence, Obituary Notices, and Otherwise "Our Heroes" constitutes one of the numerous departments of "Townseud´s Encyclopædia of the Great Rebellion," comprising the names, alphabetically arranged, of all our Soldiers and Sailors, dead and living, privates as well as officers, whose names have received honorable mention in official reports, reports of newspaper correspondents, obituary notices, accounts of sword and other presentations, or in any other way in which the press has afforded information. The "Encyclopædia" being, as yet, completed for the first two years of the war only, the first volume of "Our Heroes" (of which these pages are a specimen), will be confined to the same period, and, as a consequence, many names will be found who have since attained to higher rank by promotion or gone down to honored graves in later stages of a service which their gallantry had adorned. In such cases their names will find suitable place among the dead or living heroes in a subsequent volume of this work. The list does not include generals, except among the dead; as their record occupies a separate and conspicuous department in the Encyclopædia; their acts having been such a fruitful theme of discussion as to be familiar to all. The aim of this work is to rescue from oblivion the noble deeds of the more humble, but equally meritorious, among the lower officers and in the rank and file. And that all who have received just praise in the annals of the time may find place in the limits of this work, notice has not been taken of cases (which are numerous) where the same hero has received honorable mention on repeated occasions.
