Excerpt from The Story of a Regiment: A History of the Campaigns, and Associations in the Field, of the Sixth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry
In bringing to a completion the product of many weary hours" labor, extended over a period of more than two years, it would be indecent should I omit to acknowledge the extent of my indebtedness to a large number of friends for their generous cooperation, in furnishing data and materials of various kinds, as well as for the constant encouragement and sympathy which have made possible what could never otherwise have been accomplished, notwithstanding that my task has truly been a labor of love. I desire to thank them all most heartily; and if any of them turn from this volume with a feeling of a disappointment, it is no more than I have done very many times during its preparations, on account of the disparity between my design and the actual performance.
The map of the Cheat Mountain region was prepared expressly for this work by Mr. George B. Nicholson (to whom my warmest thanks are due for great and constant assistance, in many different ways), and is, I believe, the only one extant that is worth the trouble of referring to, in connection with the history of the campaign there in the fall of 1861. I regret that it has been impossible, from pecuniary considerations, to introduce more maps, as at one time I hoped that I should be justified in doing; but this is of the less consequence, as good maps of Kentucky, Tennessee, etc., can readily be procured almost anywhere.
