Synopsis:

Excerpt from War Papers, Vol. 2: Read Before the Commandery of the State of Wisconsin, Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States

The Commandery here presents Volume II. Of War Papers. It is evident that there is an increasing interest in these records, filling in as they do the outlines of general history with the narratives of personal experiences. Actors in the great conflict are passing away, and it is well that we record and preserve all that we can of the events of those times so full of significance, and that we render due tribute to the humblest as well as the most prominent of those who did their part; that we nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.

Both sides now review dispassionately the great events that took place, and are promoting the fraternal and national feeling that so largely prevails. Lt is believed that every fact and inci dent truthfully narrated will serve to educate the young to better citizenship and higher patriotism; will bind together the whole people in respect for one another and in loyalty to our family of States, and will hasten the fulfillment of the prediction with which Lincoln closed his first inaugural The mystic chords of mem ory, reaching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
