Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of the Late War It is proper to say that most of the Chapters in this volume have already appeared as a series of contributions to a well known periodical; and it is only because of the favorable reception accorded them in that form, that the author ventures to present them again to the reading public, slightly altered and with some valuable additions from other pens. And now if this little book shall serve to arouse, for one moment, a feeling of patriotism in the hearts of those who may read it; or revive in the breast of some comrade a pleasing memory of army life - the camp, the march, the shout and din of conflict, happily forever past - it will have accomplished all that the author has dared to hope.

Excerpt from Four Years of Personal Reminiscences of the War No merely historical events will be related in this book the history 01 the war has been often repeated, and it would take a far abler pen than mine to trace correctly the movements of a large army, as it was constantly moving over thousands of miles in different sections of country. I leave all that to the historian, whose writings I gladly peruse with interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Army Life: A Private's Reminiscences of the Civil War Many volumes have been published in regard to the late Civil War in America. By these the nation is made familiar with the movements of our armies, and the results of those great military campaigns. These volumes have been written by civilians and officers of high rank, and consequently the story of the private soldier's life has never been told. That life was made up of events and surrounded by circum stances of the most interesting character. Not interesting to the soldier alone, but of interest to his friends, and all who enjoy the fruits of victory purchased by his sacrifices and patriotism. It was to supply, to a limited extent, this want so universally felt that the writer consented to furnish The Sketches of Army Life for the Republican Journal, of Belfast, Maine. The officers had spoken, but this was a voice from the ranks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Soldier's Reminiscences: In Peace and War Almost involuntarily I drifted into the line of the suggestion, never thinking for a moment of publish ing the sketches and reflections which have formed a panorama of my hours of recreation. The accumulations, however, of these recitals and delineations came at last to equal a volume, and then came the urgent solicitations of friends to publish them in book form. I consented to do so, and this volume is now presented to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
