Product Description
As the years go bp and age creeps upon the solclier, he delights in tclIi11g those about hill1 how he fought and suf fcred for his country when it was in danger. One of the reasons for writi lg a l istoryo f the First Tennessee Cavalry is to hand dowrl to postcrity the many gallant and hcroic deeds performed by it. I was irged by my comrades to undertake thc work. realizing. l owevert, h at it would require time, patience and plenty of hard work before the co npletioll of the history. The Adjutant-Generals Report of the State arld 7A7ar Diaries had to be consulted and the matter put in shape for publication. Eut, after a year of hard, faithful work, the author is ablc to furnish a history of the regiment, in which are recorclcd the many valiant deeds performed by it i11 the sixties. The author has endeavored to give a fair and impartial account of all the doings of the regiment from 1862 to 1865. He does not claim that his regiment put dowii the rebellion, or did all the fighting ancl rone of thc running. But one thing the ar tl o d r wells upon, and that is. the regiment performed its duty well, and no order was ever given to it that was not promptly executed. Its battles and large death-roll are evidellce of faithful service. The author has not attempted to go beyond the services of his own regi nent in the preparation of this x, ork, or1ly so far as the novements of other troops with whom it served mention is illade for the purpose of conveying to the readcr an intelligent idea of the arduous duty performed by the regiment. T do iiot claim that the work is entirely frce from errors, as that would be impossible, it being over thirty-seven years sincc the last hostife gull was firecl, and during that tinlc 111uch valuable inforn ation has been lost. But errors are four d in all histories. The roster is iu the main correct, as the author at the very beginning decided that every namc that appeared upon the rolls of the regiment shoulcl bc give11 and, as far as possible, the postoffice acldrcss. The chief object has been to tell what the First Tennessee Cavalry did, aid how they dicl it. Tl c fa cts contained in this voIume will no cloubt slicd some new light on and answer as a reminder of the very hollorable part the regiment took in that great struggle. The author acknowledges and teilclers his tharlks to those who so cheerfully ancl kinilly assisted him in the prep aratioil of this worlc. This is a history of v l oante regiment did, and not of the army, and is a plain rccital of facts that happened back in the sixties. Xeither does the author attempt to describe the movements of the ariny. That has already been done by other historians. To some it may appear that the author has been too modest, that he has not blowed his own horn enough but he will Ict others judge. The autl orh as not attempted to rob other regiments of their glory or honor won upon the battlefield. THE A UTIIOR. Knoxville, Tennessee, July 25, 1902. CIIAPTER 3. EAST T ENNRSS U FN, ON ST-OR...
