Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the One Hundred and Fortieth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers
Not less of honor and grateful appreciation should be accorded also to Dr. John R. Paxton of the Committee, whose generous initia tive has made the publication of the book a possibility, in a style worthy of the noble Regiment, whose achievements it records, and to Major Henry who gave his cordial assent to the plans of the His torian, and who, in the intervals between periods of extreme suffer ing, and but a short time before his death, dictated valuable informa tion for his use.
With the sanction of the committee this volume goes forth on its mission, in the hope that it may worthily revive the stirring memories of the past and help to kindle anew the fires of patriotism which burned so brightly in the dark days of civil strife.
