Excerpt from History of the Fourth Illinois Volunteers: In Their Relations to the Spanish-American War for the Liberation of Cuba and Other Island Possessions of Spain, Fully Illustrated With Fine Toned Engravings Near the Date of Mustering Out, Beside Scenes Connected With the Carrer of the RegimentWe have not striven to produce ¿owers of rhetoric, or beautiful symmetrical periods that please and charm the cultured literati. Nor have we attempted to give all the laughable incidents and jokes that passed, the misconstrue tion of which might cast re¿ections where they would give pain. So likewise we have withheld facts that could have no historic value to the reader, but on the other hand might be wrested to the embarrassment or serious hurt of individuals in their social, civil or political relations. Con sidering the great disadvantages under which we have labored in collecting the facts of'the volume, which we hope are sufficiently reliable to be trusted and appreciated, we commit them to the public in this more permanent form, without an apology, yet asking that our imperfections as discovered will be pardoned as unintentional.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
