Excerpt from A Memorial of John S. Jameson, Sergeant in the 1st Conn, Cavalry: Who Died at Andersonville, GaIn Zion's Hill Cemetery, at Hartford, Conn., lie the remains of John S. Jameson, one of the thousands sacrificed in our late war for the Union, - one of the many who were mourned not alone by kindred and friends, but whose decease might be justly regarded a national calamity.The object of this sketch is to record, as briefly as possible, some special features of his life - not only to gratify those best acquainted with him, but for the information of many who knew him enough to love and honor him, and yet saw but half his worth. Few of his army comrades ever suspected that he possessed those rare qualities, especially that genius in art, which made him, at home, the object of so much admiration. His rough service as a soldier, did not develop what he was himself too modest to reveal.He was born at Hartford, Conn., March 25th. 1812, and died August 31st, 1864.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
