L. P. Brockett, The camp, the battlefield, and the hospital: or, lights and shadows of the great rebellion, Preface. (search)
print, in books, periodicals, and newspapers; others were preserved in the annals or reports of charitable institutions, like the Sanitary and Christian Commissions; a few had found record from a poet's pen, and a considerable number though matters of oral tradition, had never appeared in print but were gleaned from the narrations of the parties themselves or their friends. The garnering of these was a work of great delight to the writer, and as time passed on he felt desirous that others should share the pleasure he had enjoyed, in the perusal o0 the heroic deeds of his countrymen and countrywomen; and so the book grew into such form and symmetry as it now possesses. In the hands of the American public he loaves it, with the conviction that they will be lenient to any faults they may observe in it, and will appreciate his honest and pains-taking endeavor to present to them a record of some of the personal adventures and incidents of the war. H. P. B. Brooklyn, N. Y., May, 1866.

spirits, to whom life would be altogether too tame, unless there were dangers to face, foes to outwit, and hazards to run. Among these, few have led lives of more extraordinary danger and lawless adventure, and at the same time made interesting by a more firm and enduring friendship, than the two young scouts whose history we sketch from the annals of the Army of the Cumberland. In 1856, two young men-Frank M. Blue, formerly of Michigan, but now from Illinois, and Henry W. Moore, of Brooklyn, N. Y., met in Leavenworth City, Kansas, whither they had come for the purpose of preempting land in that territory. Taking a fancy for each other, they set out for the interior in company. At Ossawatamie they met John Brown, joined him in scouting after border ruffians, and participated in the fight at Hickory Point, where Brown, his son, and twenty-seven men, routed forty of them strongly posted in a blacksmith's shop, by backing up against it a load of hay, and burning them out.

The farmer's contribution to the Chicago sanitary fair. The Sanitary Fair at Chicago, in October and November, 1863, was the first of the series of great outpourings of the sympathy of the nation for its brave defenders, which were held successively at Boston, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, New York, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, and which yielded such abundant resources for the Sanitary Commissions, in the prosecution of their work of mercy. Rev. Frederick N. Knapp, one of the secretaries of the U. S. Sanitary Commission, was present at Chicago, when, on the first day of the fair, the long procession of teams, extending many miles, came in from the country laden with provisions and other articles for the fair, and thus describes an incident which came under his notice: Among these wagons which had drawn up near the rooms of the Sanitary Commission to unload their stores, was one peculiar for its exceeding look of poverty. It was worn and mended, and was originally made mere
