Excerpt from History of the First Maine Cavalry, 1861-1865 As you glance down the roster of your company and find there names you had not thought of for years in the hurry and bustle of every day life, and as these bring up the old scenes. Once more, thank the comrades of your company who assisted in their prepara tion, who kindly hunted up the old rolls and diaries, and brought memory to bear upon them until they awoke to new life, and after the facts were gathered and arranged, kindly revised the rosters, that they might be made as correct and complete as possible after all these years. As you look upon the fields of Upperville and of Dinwiddie, and live over again those terrible days, remember kindly the comrades through whose efforts and generosity they are here presented to you. Comrades, you may now proceed to inspect the work. If you take as much pleasure in reading your own history as I have in preparing it, I shall be more than satisfied. God bless each and every comrade of the gallant First Maine Cavalry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
