Excerpt from History of the 1st Regiment of D. V. And V. V, Vol. 5: From Its Organization, at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, in 1861, to Its Being Mustered Out of the United States Service at Alexandria, July 27th, 1865 In offering this book to the public, it is hoped the patient reader will forbear severe criticism, and deal with the author as gently as possible, rather looking to the merit of the subject than to the uncultivated brain that put the work together. The merit of this work lies principally in the heroic struggle of the regiment, in the forty-seven months of service, in lending its aid to the suppression of the late unholy rebellion. Its hard marches - its untold sufferings from hunger, thirst and cold - its desperate and stubbornly fought battles - its patient endurance, fortitude and courage, have never yet been fully told, and although attempted by the author in this work, he is candid enough to acknowledge that it is too feebly portrayed to give the casual reader an idea of its full extent.
