Présentation de l'éditeur
March 1st, 1861, I started for Cleveland, Ohio, to enter the law office of Boardman Ingersoll as a law student. I was in that ritj at the time of the inauguration of President Lincoln. After Sumpter was fired on I was anxious to enlist and go to the front with the Cleveland Grays, but trouble withmj eyes induced me to postpone my enlistment. After the President issued his call for 300,000 additional troops, I learned that Lieut. K. Oscar Broady, a recent graduate of Madison University, who had seen some military service in Sweden, his native country, was raising a Company for the War, in which many Hamilton and Sherburne men were enrolled. Isaac Plumb, one of my most-thought-of friends, was in the number; there were others Edgar VV illey, I sreal 0F oote, Fred A mes, and more whose names I do not now recall. I decided to wait no longer, but seek the enemy with the men of this Company. I left Cleveland Sept. 5th, 1861, and reached Utica Saturday afternoon in time to find that the stage down the valley had gone, and I must remain there until Monday morning, or use some other means of locomotion southward to Sherburne. The question I asked myself was, Why not test your leggear NOW, and see what you can do as a foot-man 1answered All right. and started out, though it was well into the afternoon. That evening I reached Oriskany Falls, a distance of about 20 miles. I camped for the night at the hotel, but was up the next morning before the hotel people. 1left the price of the lodging on the bar, and started south.
