Synopsis

Excerpt from History of the 99th Indiana Infantry: Containing a Diary of Marches, Incidents, Biography of Officers and Complete Rolls

When the writer resigned his commission in the 99th Indiana Infantry, he had in his possession a diary of the marches and movements Of the Regiment, the Muster-in Rolls, with the fate Of each man, that far through the campaign and the idea suggested itself that it would be Of interest, and useful for reference when they wished to recall the scenes passed through in their military life, that each member Of the regiment should have a Copy; arrangements were made for a continuance of the diary, and an endeavor made to get the particulars of each man''s fate; and the present work is the result.

The pen pictures are mine, and are written of them as though dead, that I might not be deemed guilty Of detraction or ?attery. It is hard to drawa line Of demarkation in all cases like these, and every man in the Regiment that has faithfully discharged his duty, is entitled to all the honor attached to patriotic sacrifice, and the only reason for giving an especial biography of the Officers, is from their positions in the Regiment they and their characters are more generally known, not that th
