History of the 101st Regiment, Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry 1861-1865 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the 101st Regiment, Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry 1861-1865
The labor and money I have spent in preparing this volume are a free will offering on my part. I have no expectation, hope, or desire for any pecuniary return or reward for what I have done to preserve to posterity the record of my Regiment. Fully aware of its imperfections, and the lack of proper recognition of many worthy comrades who played their full part in making an honorable record for the Regiment, I shall be satisfied if I receive proper appreciation from my surviving comrades, and the relatives and friends of those who have obeyed taps for the last time and are awaiting the sounding of great reveille, proclaiming the time when there shall be no more wars, and when the spirit of the humble Galilean shall prevail to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Proud of the part I played in helping Abraham Lincoln maintain this Government, during the stirring and trying days of 1861-65, I feel happy in the consciousness that I have, in a measure, done something towards preserving the record of those with whom I was associated, and who enabled me to play my part, during the four most strenuous years of my life. Not preserving it merely to gratify the few living comrades and the children and friends of those who have passed beyond, but rather that future generations will honor their memory, and in doing so, be incited to faithfully maintain the principles on which this Republic was founded, and perpetuated through the privations and sacrifices of the comrades of the Civil War.
As the final sheets of this volume were going to press the announcements were received that two gallant comrades, Lieut. Col. A. W. Taylor and Capt. C. W. May, have passed into the Great Beyond. Peace to their ashes!
