Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thrilling Adventures of William Callender: An Union Spy The following pages embrace, in the form of an autobiography, a recital of the thrilling adventures of William Callender, a member of company D, Second Iowa Infantry, who was a scout for some time under General Dodge at Corinth and Pulaski, and afterward under General Stockweather. I have known the author many years, and am confident that he does not diverge, in a single instance, from the literal truth as he understands it from his point of observation. He tells his story in an artless and unaffected style, which must impress all readers with his earnestness, and his dominant love of truth. There is none of that personal vanity, which is too often found in works of this class. I venture to say that no other work, descriptive of personal adventure, which has been published in Iowa, will be found as attractive and absorbingly interesting as this. For several reasons the Second Iowa Infantry achieved as high a historic reputation as any other regiment organized in Iowa. It was the first one sent from the State under the call which authorized its enlistment; and being first in the field, its march to the front was followed with profound anxiety by the hearts of its friends at home; and its deeds of valor, and its martyrs, were written up for publication by graphic reporters and given to the world at so early a date as to make this band of brave men illustrious before the numerous regiments organized in 1862 had any existence.
