Excerpt from New Jersey and the Rebellion: A History of the Services of the Troops and People of New Jersey in Aid of the Union CauseThe plan of this work did not contemplate the incorporation of sketches of individual men, and I do not pretend that every Jerseyman who deserves honorable mention is named on these pages. There are hundreds, no doubt, as brave and true as any of those whose services are recorded, whose deeds have no mention here. But every man, whether oficer or private, who exhib ited conspicuous bravery in the field, of whom I have been able to procure trustworthy report, is herein held up to public view. I have been, especially careful to preserve every instance of gallantry on the part of privates, feeling that these deserved to have their deeds perpetuated no less than those more fortunate ones, whose names so often shone in bulletins from gory fields.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
