Excerpt from War Stories for My GrandchildrenWhen the President's second call for volunteers was issued, a movement was at once set on foot to organize a regiment at Evansville, my home, and the Governor of the State had intimated his intention to appoint me major of this new regiment. On August 9 my appointment as major was made. The next day I sent my wife's brother, Alexander, to Glendale, near Cincinnati, where she was visiting her mother, to notify her of the event and give her details of the situation. He bore her a letter in which I wrote: Zan [alexander] will explain the cause of his coming. I want to be with my wife as much as I can before I go, so you must hurry home as fast as you can. While you are a loving wife, remember to be a brave woman and your husband will love you the more.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
