AUTHOR'S PREFACE.
We have sought to gather into this little volume,a few of the incidents that are prominent in theHistory of Company K, as they have presented themselvesto us, after the facts related have passed almostbeyond recall. We have been obliged, for the sake ofbrevity, to omit much that might have been recorded,and to give only that, which we think should be preservedin some way.
Our Children, and Children's children, as they scanthese pages in the days to come, may proudly boastof ancestors, who were among "The Boys who foughtat Gettysburg their own home."
We are aware that inaccuracies and imperfectionswill be found in the book, for while the collecting ofmaterial has been in progress for quite a while, the editingand compiling, has come upon us in the midst ofother cares and duties, in our chosen walk of life.
We trust our labor will not be in vain, but that ourlittle volume will be appreciated and preserved, bythose still in life, who remember the scene and experienceso imperfectly set forth, as well as by their pasterity,through all time to come.
We have already commenced the revision of thisvolume, and propose soon to publish a larger and revisededition; and, therefore, I ask all comrades whomay find errors in the present edition, to acquaint meat once of the fact, that such errors may be corrected.
