History Of The Fifty-eighth Regiment Of Indiana Volunteer Infantry: Its Organization, Campaigns And Battles From 1861 To 1865 - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Chaplain Hight kept a daily journal of events, writing down, in detail and with precision, everything of interest that transpired in the Regiment, and such incidents connected with the army as came under his personal observation. These notes were made day by day as the events occurred, or at least while the events were fresh in his memory. The manuscript was carefully preserved and from time to time, as opportunity offered, the completed sheets were sent to his home. Thus, at the close of the war there had accumulated nearly two thousand pages of this manuscript. It was the writers intention to revise and arrange this for publication, but on account of other duties more pressing this purpose was postponed from time to time. The collection of manuscript, however, was carefully preserved among his papers, waiting for a leisure time in the busy life of the author, when he could carry out his purpose of preparing this history for publication. That leisure time never came. In the midst of the activities of life he was stricken down by the hand of disease, and his life work was soon ended. The work he had laid out concerning the publication of the book must be done by others, if done at all. At a meeting of the 58th Indiana Regimental A ssociation, held in Princeton, in December, 1892, the matter of taking up and completing the work contemplated by Chaplain Hight was presented. Mrs. Hight was present at this meeting and offered to donate to the Association the manuscript of her late husband, provided a way could be found to publish the book. She also offered whatever assistance she might be able to contribute towards this undertaking.
