Excerpt from Forty-Six Months With the Fourth R. I. Volunteers: In the War of 1861 to 1863; Comprising a History of Its Marches, Battles, and Camp Life; Compiled From Journals Kept While on Duty in the Field and Camp
I have written this volume of personal history as a soldier in the rank and file of the Fourth Rhode Island Volunteers, and as a soldier"s story I offer it unto all who may kindly favor it with their perusal. It is a simple, truthful story of life in the Army and Navy of the United States, as I saw it, during nearly the whole War of the Rebellion.
At the time of my first enlistment in Company B, of the Fourth Rhode Island Regiment, I began a journal, keeping a faithful record of everything that transpired under my own immediate observation that was worthy of note. From that journal this book is compiled.
I do not pretend that it is a full and complete history of the regiment. That work is left in abler hands than mine. But in the absence of a full and authentic history of the Fourth Rhode Island, it will give to the world some idea of the patriotism displayed and work accomplished by this regiment in the War of the Rebellion. The record of the Fourth Rhode Island Volunteers is unsurpassed; its services were invaluable, and it is high time that they were better known to the state, and to the country at large.
