Journal History of the Twenty-Ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteers, 1861-1865

Journal History of the Twenty-Ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteers, 1861-1865 - Its Victories and its Reverses. And the campaigns and battles of Winchester, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain, Atlanta, the March to the Sea, and the campaign of the Carolinas, in which it bore an honorable part

The author of this volume has honored me with an invitation to write an Introduction.

I have not been permitted to read the authors manuscript, yet I do not hesitate to assure the reader that as he peruses the pages of the book he will find much to entertain and profit. To the veteran who enlisted and fought in the historic Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry it will be read with especial interest. The eye will moisten, and the heart swell with mingled emotions as he is reminded again of the varying scenes of the camp, the march, and the battle. Others, too young to remember anything of the war, but who have heard the stories of the conflict from their fathers, will read this historic sketch of the old regiment with the greatest avidity. We well remember the author as Hamp, the drummer boy of Company B, his boyish look, with his neatly-fitting suit of blue, and the tenor drum suspended from his neck, while with nimble fingers he plied the ebony sticks in beating the tattoo, reveille, or the long roll. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
