Excerpt from Captain Kelly's KnapsackWell, comrades we have had our day, and are going fast, dropping like ripe fruit in bunches, and only a few are left to tell of the past We have done good in our day and feel proud of it. We have seen plenty of fun and glory, and that is worth thinking of and cheer us on the remainder of our days. I have tried to give a good moral in my songs and pieces, and if my readers find them interesting, and can spend a few pleasant moments in looking through my knapsack, I hope they will think kindly of the author, who has tried to please them, and to spend a few pleasant moments in living our youth over again, and recalling recollections of the past, when we marched shoulder to shoulder and drank from the same can teen.With these few remarks, and kind regards to all the Boys in Blue and all friends, I will say good-bye.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
