Through a sense of justice to those who left their labors and their professions to enter the United States Service as Volunteers during theW ar of the Rebellion, and when peace was declared returned again to their accustomed avocations, this publication was conceived by the editor, in order that their records and portraits might be handed down to posterity along with those of the greatest of American soldiers who won their reputations with the volunteers, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, McC lellan, Thomas, Meade, Hancock, and others. The volume includes those of Presidents of the United States, Cabinet Officers, Senators, Representatives, Ministers Plenipotentiary, Great Railway Magnates, Celebrated Lawyers, and gentlemen whose accumulated wealth assures them the title of kings in the financial world, all of whom served their country faithfully and well during the Civil War. Such an array of illustrious names has never appeared before in any one work ;and, as the years accumulate in the age of the Grand Republic, future generations will point with pride to their ancestors who took part in preserving it as The land of the free and the home of the brave.
