preface;
Although the following sketches were written entirely from
memory, more than thirty-seven years after the scenes and
incidents here related had passed away; yet the writer feels
confident there is no error or mistake of any importance, as
all are now, January, 1852, nearly as fresh in his mind as
they were the day they took place, and never can they be
eradicated from his memory, so long as he retains his natural
vigor and strength of mind.
Being solicited by friends to write them out and have them
printed, the writer has thought it might not be improper to
comply with their request, believing that a true narrative,
like the following, is none the less interesting, although many
years may have passed away since the scenes transpired. The
narrative commences- from the time of the enlistment of the'
writer, and all that is deemed worthy and is not too tiresome
...
A Narrative. A Short and Thrilling Narrative of a Few of the Scenes and Incidents That Occurred in the Sanguinary and Cruel War of 1812-14
