By John G. B. Adams.PREFACE.
Foil thirty-four years I have waited patiently for some
one to write a history of the 19th Regiment Massachusetts
Volunteers, but fearing that it may never be accomplished,
have concluded to send out this story. I do not dignifyI
calling it a history. It is simply a soldier's story,it by
told one of the "l)oys." Most of it is written from])y
memory. The account of prison life is taken from an
imperfect diary, kept by the writer while a prisoner of
war.
I sincerely hope the publication of this volume will
inspire other comrades, and that from the memories thus
evoked some one may gather further material whereby the
deeds of the men bravely followed the flags ofwho so
the State and Nation for four long, weary years may be
preserved.
