Excerpt from History and Roster of the Fourth and Fifth Independent Battalions and Thirteenth Regiment: Ohio Cavalry Volunteers; Their Battles and Skirmishes, Roster of the Dead, Etc
In complying with this request it soon became evident that a history of this command, with even very limited details of the campaigns, battles and skirmishes in which they were engaged would require a much larger volume than contemplated, and your committee appreciated the privilege of using the diary of Captain Aston, presenting a most realistic account of service and incidents. It was not prepared as a history of the regiment, but for personal reference, and more particularly of Company F, to which he belonged, but, as we were all there, and the regimental history corresponds, we would acknowledge our obligations to Captain Aston in having made it possible to present such a satisfactory record and regret exceedingly that illness prevented him from being with us during the last campaign from Dinwiddie C. H., to Appomattox, that the record might have been complete.
The committee would call attention to the valuable and valued assistance of Captain Aston, to whom the Association owes a debt of gratitude.
