Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Fifty-Eighth Regiment of Indiana Volunteer Infantry
N the catalogue of books pertaining to the war this volume will occupy a somewhat unique place. Unlike other histories of the war period, it is not made up from memory of events long after they have transpired, but is a record written day by day, while the events were fresh in the writer's mind. The book does not make any pre tensions to accurate description of the general move ments of the army; all this has been done, and sufficiently done, in other publications. This is a simple story of what was done by one Regiment — a very small part of the grand army — in the work of crushing the rebellion. It is a plain recital of the minor incidents in the daily life of one of the Regiments that was but an insignificant part of that mighty host, beneath whose tread a continent was rocked more than a quarter of a cen tury ago. It is a record of the personal experiences and observations of one individual who, as a part of one of the minor organizations of this grand army, shared the priva tions and dangers common to all. It is a pen picture Of a soldier's life in camp, on the march and on the battlefield. It is the drawing aside of the veil that hides scenes of the past, and disclosing to view, in a most realistic manner events that were so familiar to those who participated in them, a generation ago.
