Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of the Early Days of the National Guard: Comprising the Prominent Events in the History of the Famous Seventh Regiment, New York Militia The manuscript of these "Recollections," having lain disregarded for two or three years, happened to fall under the notice of the publishers, who saw at a glance that it contained much that must greatly interest the members and friends of the distinguished Corps of which it treats, and they took steps to possess and publish it The work certainly makes no pretension to the style and polish that would indicate a practiced writer, and the first intent was to have it rewrought; but its subjection to the anvil and hammer of a professional smith would involve the necessity of drawing the temper of the metal, and it was possible, and indeed probable, that in hammering it into new shape, and giving it literary accuracy and polish, the work might yet lack the simplicity characteristic of truthfulness - the peculiar temper that, with all its imperfections, imparts so much interest to its details and descriptions. It is, therefore, retained in the shape in which it was found, in the belief that its defects in style and method may be compensated by the fidelity and fullness of the narration, and the intrinsic merit of the subject.
