Excerpt from The Recollections of a Drummer-Boy

The generous words of praise awarded by the press of the country to these Recollections, and the widespread favor with which they have been received throughout the land - by none more so than by the veterans themselves, and their children - together with the fact that the book has been long out of print, though much inquired for, war rants the publication of a new and enlarged edition in a different and, it is believed, a greatly improved dress. With the exception of the addition of some recently remembered incidents, which it is thought the reader will enjoy, the narrative remains unchanged. It is hoped that it may continue to give as great pleasure to many readers to peruse these pages as it was to the author to write them.
