Présentation de l'éditeur
The History of the First Regiment, Alabama Volunteer I nfantry, Confederate States A rmy, contained in this volume, was prepared by the author in response to the request of the Alabama Department of Archives and History, for a series of Narrative Histories or Historical Sketches of Alabama Commands in the War between the States, 1861-1865. This series was early projected as one of the activities of the Department, and every effort has been made to secure the compilation of accurate and authentic historical sketches of the several commands regiments, battalions and batteries which are entitled to representation. In order to stimulate the early completion of the series and to afford a suitable moidel for further work, this sketch is issued in the present form. It presents in a clear and sympathetic way the story of the regiment, its organization, sketches of its officers, its engagements, prison life, and hardships, with numerous incidents of thrilling interest. Prof. E. Y. Mc Morries, the author, has performed a difficult task with delicacy and an imest desire for the truth. It has been to him a labor of love, the entire work being done without compensation. He has a reward, however, in that he will receive the grateful plaudits of all survivors of this gallant command, and of the families of those who have passed away. He has coupled his name with the history of the regiment in an imperishable way as its annalist and historian. Thomas Mc Adory Owen, Director. Department of Archives and History of the State of A labama. Montgomery, August 2, 1904.
