Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Capture and Destruction of Columbia, South Carolina: February 17, 1865; Personal Experiences and Recollections
Neither Colonel Stone, any of his brigade, nor any of the Fifteenth Corps were called on for evidence. They were not aware of any of these facts, all of which occurred before their entrance into the city, but did occur while four Crocker Brigade men were rushing along Main Street that morning. For many years after 1873 no attempt was made to deprive the Thirteenth Iowa flag the well-merited honor of being placed first over the statehouse. I have been frequently urged by many comrades, and others, to make a detailed statement of the inception and consummation of the undertaking. I realize the importance, too, of each participant in acts of this character making statements of the things as they actually occurred.
