Excerpt from Father Duffy's Story: A Tale of Humor and Heroism, of Life and Death With the Fighting Sixty-NinthThe title that has been given it sounds almost as egoistic as that, but there will be found in these pages other names than my own. Indeed, objection may be made from a literary point of view that the book bristles with names. I could not write my story otherwise. I knew these men, and what they did, and my only regret is that I have undoubtedly overlooked some, especially amongst replacements, whose names and deeds should be mentioned. Battles are not fought by commanding officers alone, not even by chaplains unaided, and the men who do the fighting usually get little personal credit for their valor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
