A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Soon after the close of the Civil War, Major J. Henry Sleeper, for his own information and enjoyment, obtained permission from the A djntant General of the U. S. A., to have an exact copy of the Morning Report Book of the Tenth Massachusetts Battery made. For various reasons the historian of the company in preparingits history some years since made but slight use of this book.

That committee, after careful deliberation, decided it to be the part of wisdom to publish these Morning Reports, adding to them the history A vritten many years ago carefully revised and corrected with its roster made accui ate and complete. The committee also voted to include in the volume such portraits of members as can now be obtained and as many camp and battlefield sketches as are available, with a mortuary list to date, thus embracing compactly the Battery sstory as full and complete as it can now ever be told and more complete than most of the stories that have been written. No attempt has been made to correct orthograjthy or supply omissions in the records of the Morning Reports. They are reproduced as written (save the daily reports of the number of men and horses present which are omitted.) A few hiatuses in the nari ative are due to the breakin
