Excerpt from The Story of the 26th Louisiana Infantry, in the Service of the Confederate States
In professing to write the Story of the 26th, I feel an explanation is due for giving it the shape of a personal memoir. I have done so after proper reflection, and if it bears the faintest tinge of egoism, I deserve the censure of the patriotic and the unselfish.
The fact is, when I had collected all available materials, and run over, in my mind, all sources of information whence I might possibly add something as the narrative progressed, I saw still many gaps which might make the subject disjointed, fragmentary and uninteresting.
