Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from At a Dollar a Year: Ripples on the Edge of the Maelstrom
All the men present had made a success In their own affairs, and many had amassed considerable fortunes, when the call to duty caused them to leave everything behind and give their time and service to their country.
A year before, General Gish had been one of the oldest captains in the army, and never until grim-visaged war put a pre mium on every member of our regular forces had he dealt with a transaction in volving a sum larger than one thousand dollars. Since our entrance into the war he had been chief of the Camp Service Division.
