Excerpt from History of the First-Tenth-Twenty-Ninth Maine Regiment: In Service of the United States From May 3, 1861, to June 21, 1866Coupled with the possession of such matter for reference was the fact that I had served in the three organizations of the regi ment, and had been present for duty on every important occasion. These considerations appear to have outweighed all others when the choice of a historian for the regiment was made. It lay within the means of the Association to employ one skilled in letters, but the testimony of an eye Witness was deemed more valuable. I ask, therefore, that the many defects as a literary production and numerous slips of the pen may be overlooked, and that the book may be criticized only on the question of its truthfulness.There are many imperfections and short-comings that the reader may think could have been remedied, but it was impossible for me to snatch time enough from engrossing business duties to complete the book as I wished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
